For any hardgainers who haven't checked it out, I believe this pitchers' weight gain program is by far our best free download:

'Pitchers are getting hurt because they're overly pronated at landing!'

Are they actually pronated or just retracted & counter-rotated?

My take and a visual demonstration ⬇️

Gaining 7-8 mph in HS

Note that high-output throwing (pulldowns, etc.) should be a relatively small piece of the puzzle.

Build a frame that can withstand high forces (⬆️ total body strength) & the mechanical efficiency to allow for holding this velocity deep into outings.

At 32 years old, Brock Stewart is out here throwing 95 mph cutters (averaging 94.2 in 2024).

From 24-28 years old, Brock Stewart's four-seam averaged just over 93.

Aging like fine wine.

Breakdown:

-IR dominant throw: notice the rear foot turning in to find tension and landing closed on the front foot
-Supinated arm swing due to the size of the implement
-Arm is on time, in plane, & achieves full layback
-Uphill trunk tilt due to target in the 28th row

Why do short arm actions work for some but not others?

I'd argue that the deciding factor is whether or not it helps the arm better sequence and time up with the rest of the delivery.

It can be an effective strategy, but there are other ways to impact timing/sequencing.

So just how good does Chase Burns have the potential to be?

-His average FB velo is higher than Strider, Cole & Prime Justin Verlander
-He's generating 2-3' more vert on the pitch
-His Slider has similar velo, with >3' more sweep

Full breakdown coming soon.

Brock always had it in him; he just needed a healthy elbow and non-pushy arm action.

Clean up the kinematic sequence & good things happen. Brock Stewart

From 75 ➡️ 86 MPH in Middle School, an athlete update from Chase Cunningham ⚾️ 🤯⁠

When I first started working with Everest King in September 2023, he was coming off an extended period of not throwing and didn’t even play the previous year because of a growth plate fracture in his…
