I think if you started the time when he leans to the right and actually make him touch the lines his time would be more realistic, look like he is about mid 4.6's to 4.7 - still very good for a HS freshman but he's not a 4.31
+Boats N Hoes - It's difficult for anyone to say what you're doing wrong without watching you throw. Maybe your form and technique are great, and you have a tiny nagging injury. There's no shortage of coaching tips here on you-tube...I would suggest you spend time watching several different coaches explain and break down proper throwing mechanics. Pay attention to the things that keep coming up..you know...look for common themes. But ultimately choose a coach you trust and explains things in a way you understand. Compare yourself to the pro's. Pick players that are known for having great arms for extended periods of time. Study them. Discover what they have in common. Watch the feet, torso, and arm movements closely. For example...watch how the torso seems to be stretched way out as the arm goes back...setting yourself up to bring your arm over the top like a whip, with momentum that was created from the ground up. If your shoulder hurts when you start throwing hard, I would assume (barring injury or simply not throwing enough) you are relying too much on the muscles in your shoulder, as opposed to all the larger muscle groups that should be involved with proper mechanics. Pace yourself. When it hurts...slow down...go back to basics.
When it comes to throwing strength, I've always been a little jealous of wiry guys because it seems like they have an advantage with naturally better arm strength (or throwing strength at least). But I also think flexibility is important, and this video shows you that, and luckily that can be built up.
Condused overtime you will build up that arm strength to be able to throw harder and farther. I am kind of a similar situation. I got hurt and was out for a year and a half and lost a lot of arm strength and velocity but now I’m slowly building it back up.
Shyam Thiagarajan genetic limits have nothing to do with it. Anyone can build up arm strength and be able to throw far and hard and build up velocity and distance. It just takes time.
When you start to lengthen the distance and move father out while long tossing, you need way more arc on the ball. Stay loose, follow through more, and don't put anything on it, just enough to get it there. Once you are throwing the ball as far as you possibly can, you are using all of your energy. Once you work it back in you maintain the same exact motion as you did at your max distance but you adjust the angle in order for the ball to hit your target. Even at 60 feet (coming back in phase) you are still throwing the same as you were at 300 feet, just on a line. These guys are so worried about how cool their mechanics look they are neglecting to follow through, maintain an arc on their throws, and actually get the ball to their targets. Long toss isn't long toss if you throw it on a line only to bounce 30 feet in front of your target. Their warm-up was the only helpful part of this video.
Johnathan Bjerk actually my friend you are incorrect, most really good instructors like the ones i had in college and pro ball told us to keep ball flat as possible per the distance we were throwing (yes some arc is inevitable) but we were supposed to bounce ball once as it got out partner. This is true partner long toss maintaining the body position most closely related to in game function. Arcing a ball and not putting power behind it is the reason most kids don't break 85 mph no matter what position they play. I threw 91-92 across diamond in testing done in training camp scouting evaluations (3rd base deep to 1st base chest high is all that counts) I did long toss to glove till we reached 225-240 ft, at 260-330 it was one hop with the flattest possible throw that could be made, so not putting ball high in air but yes its still probably 25-30 ft in air at those distances. Pretty sure the guys aren't worried about looking cool, I can tell you one is a catcher so his emphasis is to get on top and behind ball with his hand. One last thing, know what pro outfielders do in side work and offseason? throw to a target with exactly that, a high velocity one hop at about 20-30 ft in front of target like a bucket. It replicates a game throw to bag or plate, and it allows for velocity development unlike a big arcing throw which does not. You will learn I guess if you move on past HS.
@@gforce9998 I played shortstop for a D1 school and threw in the low 90s. This is exactly how I long-tossed from HS through my senior year in college. I never threw on an arc … everything was a laser!
how do you put curve on the ball when long tossing? what are the benefits of curving the ball? I've just started playing again after 14 years off and I'm keen for any tips, cheers :)
miked1120 but in this vid it looks as though the ball tapers off to the right as it nears the target, and after watching a few throw-overs from catchers it seems like the ball curves toward the runner?
Yes, in this video, the ball is curving. Basic geometry states the shortest distance between two points, is a straight line. The ball may have some curve, due to the wrist angle at release or the catcher may not have a perfect four seam grip, but I assure you, the curve is not done on purpose, as in they don't actually practice making the ball curve. Catchers work on a quick, fast, strong release, and footwork.
miked1120 Guess you don't really play baseball, Mike. All outfielders have a fade, for the most part. That is a perfectly natural outfield throw you see all the time, particularly when the outfielder doesn't have time to feel his way to a 4 seam grip. Scott Venning, the reason it curves is because he is throwing with a two-seam grip on the ball with extreme armspeed, which makes it dive down and away. It does that due to the airflow over the laces.
Matthew Gagnon The 'fade' is an error in mechanics. Long story short. Check out videos from laflippin. For a right-handed pitcher, right after release of the baseball, the palm turns toward 3d base. It's natural, but yet the pitch is straight. The fade is caused by not 'being on top' of the baseball when thrown/at release. Doesn't matter if they have a 4 seam grip or not. Ask any good outfielder. They work on NOT having a fade. I wasn't that great of a right fielder, third baseman nor pitcher, because I only played to AA after college.
It would be a shame if you did not build muscle when regular people are able to build muscle so easily with Mega Muscle Method (search for it on google).
Yes i mean it. you can make your workout sessions much more productive if your eating the right foods to avoid fat and belly. And My international body building trainer also recommended this 7 food elements to kill your fat belly. if you are serious go for it now goo.gl/OxsI10?=dzdmu
Yep. i know the bad fat is the reason that stopping 6 pack coming outside even we work out well. Listen one of my friend working in fitness field suggested me this 7 secret food items to kill our jelly belly. i found it here bit.ly/12dx2yC?=mjmbo
Crazy clip. Good video. My older brother used to be a fatty. He went from 283lbs of pure fat into 213 lbs of real muscle. I couldn't believe it! I just subscribed myself because I'm trying to get big muscle mass. He made use of the Muscle Building Bible (Google it)...
Exaggerating the follow thru and over the top motion, keeping your shoulder and your glove in during the throw in during practice, may take the tailing action out of the ball in live situation. You dont want your catcher running up the line only to get plowed before the ball gets there. Your allowed a quiet take your time instant... finding the seams.
i wish i grew up playing baseball.. theres this bay at my camp I toss balls across and since then Ive always been able to throw a baseball incredible distances.. like out of sight far..no ones ever compared. am I a freak or ..
Why do you care? Do you think you're going to convince baseball players to quit baseball and become goalies in soccer (or, sorry, my bad....football)? Just leave us on "life support"....we're okay with it.
Good thing to developed the howitzer arm but try to implement a larger ball to it because this sport is on life support. These guys put Ichiros arm to shame /watch?v=Ewqi41CErrM
Thank you for the movie. Like RU-vid due to this type of content!My homeboy used to be bullied. He stated he was intending to get bigger muscle and strength. I chuckled... But then suddenly he added 40 pounds of absolute lean muscle mass. He made use of the Muscle Building Bible (look for it in Google). Nobody dares to intimidate him now. :) I actually subscribed earlier this week. And the mans emails are fucking excellent!
Hey Alex. How old are you? First I must ask you, have you had your elbow examined by an expert sports medicine Dr? If not I would suggest you do so before you throw another ball. The way you describe the pain concerns me that you could possibly be experiencing serious problems, I would suggest that you take the pain you describe very serious, Tommy John Surgery is nothing to take lightly. let me know how it goes. Don Ervin dfervin32@yahoo.com
Yo yo... Awesome movie. My younger brother was once a fat. He revolutionized his body from 285lbs of pure fat into 205 lbs of total lean muscle mass. That shit was crazy! I just registered myself because I wanna beef up. He used the Muscle Building Bible (Search on Google)...
This video is GREAT for those recuperating from arm problems, after being "shutdown" for a week or two.. This will get the arm back in "shape," without having to throw--except for the pre and LONG toss stuff at the end..you can skip that for now.
