88-91 to 91-95 t96 over the past 8 months. Rodney came into this Summer with the clear goal of throwing harder. Slide 1 is last week in a bullpen. Slide 2 is the beginning of Summer. Coming off a season where he was throwing 88-91 mph accidental cutters. Dumping his pelvis

Every pitcher’s built different. Different spines, different hips, different ways to move down the mound.⁠ ⁠ There’s no single blueprint to throw hard, just different solutions that fit different bodies.⁠ ⁠ Some guys find it through rhythm, others through stability. Some

Constraint-led throwing teaches the body to self-organize better spine movement without over-coaching mechanics. Blindly adding in every drill/mobility routine you see on social media is not your path to becoming a better pitcher. Filter out the noise and get a coach who

Fix it by applying principles: Define the target quality Move slow enough to feel segmental control Build strength through range Integrate under throwing constraints Use external cues, not internal “feels” when throwing.

Most spine programs fail for 3 reasons: No defined quality (what are you training?) Poor execution (lumbar compensation) No integration (mobility never enters throwing)

Spinal Engine Theory shows that rotation emerges through the natural curves of the spine. The thoracic and lumbar segments work like springs not levers.

Most athletes add drills from social media that look rotational but don’t actually build usable coordination. Think of the spine as more of a coordinator instead of a power source.

Doing “spine training” won’t fix your throw if you don’t understand what you’re training. Im sure adding all the spinal suff you pulled off IG will work will fix everything.

3 ways to throw a better slider Throwing a plus breaking ball can make pitching a whole lot easier for you. A little bit of reductionist type post in regards to throwing better offspeed as there are many factors into making an elite pitch. If you’re a high school or college guy

Conceptually understanding the pelvis' involvement in torso rotation & the interplay of the effects of the rib cage on the timing of separation /block effects. From the lens of both command and velocity. Truman Pauley is a fair case study for this idea. Truman presenting

Practice design is crucial to eliciting movement changes for athletes. Providing information on what an athlete is doing wrong and how it should look is cool but as a coach, how are you actually getting your athletes to more efficient patterns? Are you just telling them “you’re

Words and cues just aren’t enough information to create lasting changes Take using drop ins for example: Instead of just telling these athletes they needed to load different we needed to create something that allowed them to explore loading strategy. Loud information from

Feeling robotic? Can't get out of your own head? Doom scrolling for more cues to get yourself that next velo jump? You're causing yourself more harm then good. Go grab some grounders and have fun. You'd be surprised to see what your body can do when you're trying to throw

First 90 for Noah Nance. Noah started in late August sitting mid 80s with a PR of 88. 3 months later he's sitting 88 touching 90 inside. We identified three key attractors in his delivery: torso, arm action, and back leg. Then introduced intentional constraints that

Tired of trying to fix a late arm action? Give catcher throws a try. Often times a late arm action is the by product of poor movements leading up to flip up, not the fact that your arm action is late itself. For the sake of this post I’ll label the issue itself a “late arm

Your routine should build you, not box you in. Some days you’ll need to break pattern and adjust, being adaptable is something you need to get good at. Some guys lose it when something outside of their normal routine goes wrong. Don't be that guy. Cool look at some of the

Don’t have a good arm care routine? Give this a try 👇 Depth drop pushups Single arm depth drops Banded drop catches Handstand ISOs Throwing is stressful, you need to prepare accordingly. - @Pthorsen11

Long toss helps you understand how the ball is really coming out of your hand. When you can watch the full flight, you start to pick up on things like how true the spin is, how the ball carries, and how your intent matches what actually happens. You don’t have to think about

“What should I do to prep for this showcase in 3 days?” No last second workout is going to fix the things you should have been fixing over the last 6 months. - @Pthorsen11

Throw. Lift. Bend. Rotate. Jump. Repeat Do this for months, track the progress, take note of what you suck at, repeat for months. We can dive into the nuances of training but if you’re not doing these things already, you’re leaving a lot on the table. Want to know the good
