How Red Sox Pitcher Josh Beckett Could Improve His Pitching Velocity 3-5 MPH

by Dick Mills on December 15, 2009

This video comparing Red Sox Daniel Bard's velocity to Josh Becketts' reveals why videotaping as well as understanding mechanics is so important.

When you fully understand that it is the body that produces velocity and not arm strength then more pitchers would be able to maximize their pitching velocity.

Remember..."pitchers are made in the off-season."   What are you doing right now to improve your pitching skills?

These are some of the important aspects I have been focusing on in our Explosively Pitching DVD program since 2004.  We teach 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.

"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
