Pitching Training Areas of Focus
ARM ACTIVATION
We have developed a full arm activation process called, ProChop Activation, to help pitchers build an individualized arm health care program so they can stay healthy and prevent setbacks. A robust arm activation program not only prevents injury, but allows pitchers to recover faster.
VELOCITY TRAINING
Gaining velocity and throwing hard is an essential part of being a successful pitcher and catching the eye of scouts/coaches at the next level. Our trainers go through an extensive throwing, upper body and and lower body strengthening program using the latest tools (bands, weighted balls, throwing tubes, medicine balls, dumbbells, water bags, activation devices and other tools) to help develop arm speed, arm strength, and segmented body strength. We also utilize Pocket Radar, apps and other technology to track progress.
MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY
Having efficient mechanics is the only way to effectively convert strength and arm speed into velocity from the mound. We use video analysis and biomechanical software to detect mechanical problems, and a series of rhythm and sequence drills, using tools like Core Velocity Belt and 3D Strap, to correct flaws. Our focus on sequential rhythms help pitchers build their ability to repeat a mechanically sound and healthy pitching motion.
COMMAND/CONTROL
Throwing the ball where you need to is a huge part of being successful as a pitcher. We use products like BPZones, PocketPath, Clean Enfuego and weighted balls to help train pitchers to not only understand what it takes to make the ball go where they intend but also design drills set to acquire a feel for mastering each location.
PITCH DESIGN
With the help of the Rapsodo technology, our trainers help athletes focus on pitch design. Whether we are looking for the best breaking ball to pair with an individual’s fastball, or designing a completely new pitch, we have all the tools necessary to quickly shape your most effective offerings. Understanding your pitch metrics is a must in today’s game, and it will make you a more effective and efficient pitcher.
