HOME OF THE ORIGINAL TRANSITIONAL PITCHING CAMP ™

HIGH SCHOOL VELOCITY DEVELOPMENT CAMPS!!!

Velocity is indeed a very complex part of pitching. Location is important, but velocity is too. Most athletes never work on this discipline. We've been told all our careers, just throw strikes! Here are some facts about velocity:

Velocity comes from many factors.namely functional pitching specific strength, momentum and inertia, pitching mechanic sequencing, and most importantly body part synchronization.
Velocity is certainly genetic. But most athletes underachieve when it comes to velocity. Nobody can break through their genetic ceiling, but most grossly underachieve. Since we may never be able to quantify our true genetic potential, we must work on this discipline and disregard any estimates or limitations we personally put upon ourselves, or worse, what others may put upon us.
Many, many times our preconceived, self-imposed limitation of what is possible is the problem. We most often get in our own way. We underachieve. We convince ourselves that we can't throw any harder.
Velocity can be improved.
Velocity is by far and away the # 1 determining factor in whether a pitcher moves up to the next level or not. It doesn't matter if that level is club ball, HS, College or professional.

The 7 Steps to Velocity Gains

It takes consistent and dedicated effort. No quick fix here.

First you need to examine your existing level of fitness.
You then need to set up a pitching specific fitness program. This program should include exercises for explosive power work, flexibility, stability, and endurance.
You need to evaluate your current throwing mechanics to determine inefficiencies and energy leaks.
Begin a "principle centered" throwing mechanics program. Principle centered is a concept that is not based on old school or conventional wisdom, but a program that looks at all disciples of pitching.
Test and quantify your progress.
Break your throwing and conditioning regiment into at least 4 segments. Segments such as: off-season, pre-season, in-season, and post-season.
Set specific attainable goals. Not just for velocity, but all disciplines of pitching and physical conditioning.

Throwing harder takes a dedicated effort, planning and discipline. For some it comes easier than others, but don't let that deter you. Make it a challenge to reach your genetic ceiling.

Shore Conference Player of the Year

Up until recently, the world of pitching relied heavily on conventional wisdoms. Unfortunately these so-called "wisdoms" have been leading us down the path to ineffectiveness, inconsistency, and increased probability of injury. Include in these philosophies are: tall and fall, stay back, stop at the top, replace shoulders, righties throw from the right side of the rubber and lefties from the left side, stop at your balance point, snap or twist the curveball, pull your glove to your hip or armpit, and the list goes on. However, thanks to the use of modern technology and endless hours of scientific research and clinical studies by the American Sports Medicine Institute in conjunction with the National Pitching Association and BioKinetics of N.J.'s 3D Motion Capture, we can definitively prove that the theories previously mentioned are not based on science, nor do they add to a pitcher's ability to throw a baseball efficiently. Conversely, these teaching methods or "wisdoms" will increase the risk of injury. Isn't that what we all want to avoid? Shouldn't injury prevention be paramount to wins and strikeouts?

(Anthony Pruchnik, TR East HS)

(Zach Brebner, St. Peter's College, Stockton State College)

The findings of the aforementioned people and organizations have provided us with a set of guidelines on how to train the human body to throw a baseball most effectively and efficiently without "cookie-cutting." Baseball is no longer just a spring/summer sport. Our children are playing on multiple teams for a duration of nearly 9 months out of the year. Proper year long training is mandatory in order to ensure our children to be pro-active in the prevention of injury while competing at their highest levels.

(Ethan Jackson, St. Peter's College, 1st no-hitter in Colts Neck HS history)
