How I Gained 16 MPH In 16 Months 

Ya, it really is!

my mechanics got messed up during covid so i have to restart my 4 month process and im back stuff at 61 mph instead of 63-65 and lost a tad bit of stregth

How fast do you throw now

Your son is a dawg lol. 6’1 and 178 as a freshman is almost as impressive as throwing 85 mph

@@klypz2175 thank you for the compliment! Yes I’m very proud of him, long as he continues to do well academically he should be a super marketable player. I played Division 3 and he’s miles ahead of where I was at his age. We’ll see

That's great, best of luck to him! I miss playing and pitching!

@@BarbershopReviews Thank you for your kind words!👊🏻

good luck to your son hope he goes far

I agree. I didn't put in the work in High school I was a min effort guy but still excelled and that was good enough for me at the time. Big regret. Threw 86 as junior lefty pitcher. Didn't play my senior year because issues with coach. I regret it. Kids reading this, give your maximum effort when you're young. You don't get those years back and they are the most crucial years to go grow.

I feel you Bro

You quit because of terrible coaching 😂😂😂😂 You just didn’t want it. Putting blame on others as an excuse to quit softens the blow of failure

@@mattp4007 I did want it. I went to private coaching lessons for 5 years with ex pro ball guys and committed to baseball. My freshman year of high school I was never given any playing time and the head coach said high school level ball is no longer for development. I was told I would be a starter on the JV team at third base, but so were three other kids. I played 5 innings all year, I never took bp before games because starters had priority and the coach wouldn’t be with the team for it so I or anyone else who was on the bench was throwing bp. I recall one game I was put in to pinch hit with two outs in the 7th, obviously I struck out because I hadn’t seen live pitching for weeks. I got chewed out by the coach for not putting a good ab together even though I was the one who threw bp before the game. For summer ball I was benched for kids who were definitely not as good as I was (different coach too) or even kids who didn’t go to my high school. For middle school ball there were 3 levels, I played two years at the second highest (should’ve played my second year at the highest but the coaches wanted to keep the team together even though they were younger and first time playing that level) while some teammates I was benched for (namely the coaches kid) played both years at the lowest level. I rarely got playing time on a team I knew I was a top 3 player on and the coach made me look bad in any way he could. I recall begging for a month straight to give me a chance to pitch, to let me throw bullpens during practice or live at bats, because that was a stronger position for me back when I was in a team I actually got playing time for. So one day, 15 minutes before the game starts I was told I was pitching. No bullpen, barely any warm up, and I hadn’t pitched in a live game for a year. I didn’t do terrible, but I didn’t do well. Gave up only a couple hits through 4 innings but walked a ton of batters. I got another chance two games later, again, not being told I was pitching until just before the game and again not doing all that good. I started throwing bullpens in my spare time because I still had yet to throw during practice, but that second game was the last time I pitched. I also was not the only player in my class to quit during high school. My incoming class had 13 baseball players, 5 still played by their senior year, 2 of the 5 played for other schools. One of the assistant coaches was also on the verge of abusive, on one occasion he grabbed on of my friends by the collar and screamed in his face for a simple mistake during practice. By my junior year the coaches changed but weren’t much better. They were the owners/coaches of a tournament team and heavily favored players who also played for that team. It turned into a “pay to play” team and if you played for a different team you got even less playing time or respect from the coaches. Some kids who didn’t quit from the first staff quit with this one because they didn’t have the money or didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars to play for the tournament team. I and many of my teammates lost the love for playing after that which made it difficult to go back or play for other teams. It didn’t matter how good some of us were because we no longer enjoyed playing.

Pro tip, velo doesn’t matter. What does matter is good movement and mechanics, getting stronger and faster, playing catch, working pitches and locations. Velo will definitely come, but if that is your only focus, your just a thrower, not a pitcher

Happy I can be of help! Keep working hard!

@@redsox2116 stop being such a beggar. just because he gave u an "atta boy" doesnt mean u can suddenly start begging for free shit.

​@@BauerOutageis throwing 77 - 81 good for a 14 year old

@@LennyRdrthats gas for 14

​@@skullsweatzBro I barely see high 60's from 14u players here in Cali

Not gonna happen. Trevor is a clubhouse cancer.

@@destructocid based on what? Have you played with him? 🙄

Well right, someone has to show you.

Lol

Worked for Trevor Bauer and a plethora of other mlb pitchers.

@@Rooster_kingthe key word is “mlb pitchers.” What % of MLB pitchers improved their velocity from long tossing?🤷‍♂️. What about the rest of the population?🤔

@@johnbauer9962 Says "the key word" and then quotes multiple words 🤡

You are unfortunately not alone!!! It’s especially hard when you know your kid has talent. I used to battle with, if he doesn’t want it then I’m not going to waste my time….WRONG!! You take him and teach him and show him hard work and ethic. While not disregarding his gaming, talk to him about the benefit of balance. Don’t be fooled, they don’t know what they don’t know yet. Much respect my fellow Father in Arms. 👍👍

Sad because I’m a 15 year old wanting to be great but don’t have anyone to throw with. My dads here just not willing to spend the time other than taking me to and from practice which especially in the winter doesn’t mean a lot of throwing

@@jasengovine4399 unfortunately, I've tried these things for years. I played baseball through high school and college and love it. He just doesn't want it.

@@coopernielson6336 then do it yourself Cooper. Go find a wall to throw against and show your dad how much you want it. Maybe he'll come around if he sees the effort you put in.

@@coopernielson6336 Find a way, my boy. Even if you have to get together with friends at the park. Or talk with your HS baseball coach, for direction. When you have a sense of urgency for.all aspects of your life, opportunities will manifest for you.

Wish I had his dedication… I was throwing near 80 at 14… never got any faster… just sore all the time:(

Definitely above average but not amazing at all. These days you'll see that speed in regular 14u travel tournaments.

Bro I have a teammate he tops out at 73 and he’s 12

Also can you go over the drills you did with the weighted balls?

They're so different, it's fascinating
