power & velocity

Back to the Academy

Velocity is a product of moving freely and generating explosive force. These drills are designed to help increase your power output and feel yourself move faster. There is a big mental component to throwing as hard as you can. If you feel like you have a mental block (like worrying about being wild), head to the Mental Game section.

When working on increasing your velo, don’t worry about mechanics or location. Just be free and explode! Give your body time to get used to the faster speed as well - your body still knows how to pitch, it just needs to figure out how to do it at a faster speed.
