How Efficient Pitching Mechanics Produces More Velocity, Better Control And Less Stress To The Arm

by Dick Mills on April 20, 2010

Here is an example of efficient big league mechanics used by Rockies Ubaldo Jimenez and Royals Zach Greinke to produce 95 mph plus velocity. 

Both pitchers display very efficient pitching mechanics where the lower body and trunk are used to produce force while the throwing arm is along for the ride.  Notice how each pitcher uses good body and arm alignment with little if any swinging actions of their lead leg or arms which actually produce a slowing action and increase stress to the arm.

Without a video analysis most pitchers are just guessing about why they can not maximize their performance.

A video analysis is your best insurance policy against poor instruction, guaranteed improvement and added arm insurance against injury.  http://www.pitching.com/video_analysis/

Our Explosive Pitching DVD program teaches parents how to help their sons use their bodies to pitch instead of just their arms. Not only does this improve velocity but reduces the risk of arm injuries.  We also teach them proper conditioning.

One last thing about Momentum Pitching. It is simple to teach and will get most pitchers throwing harder within one session.

"I had spent several hundred dollars on a pitching coach who was leading my son down the path to ruin. He embraced every failed philosophy and technique you've identified - long toss, towel drills and more drills ad nauseum. My son's skills were deteriorating. When I found your website and read your report, I sense intuitively your words had merit and deserved further study."   Mark Smith, Downers Grove,IL
