Ben, as always, spectacular work. Us coaches around the U.S. really appreciate having someone teaching from a science driven point of view. Takes the anecdotal coaching piece, not completely out of the game, as that can be valuable as well, but having a scientific mindset when teaching allows for universal language to set in, understanding increases, and results follow. If youth coaches, high school coaches, college coaches, and pro coaches can all adopt similar vernacular and teaching methods… I can’t imagine the type of gains we’ll make in the industry. Keep doing what you’re doing bud!
love the content, man has some serious legs. Interesting to see the different methods of producing 100mph, but also certain things that need to happen. This is one of the best breakdowns yet Edit: Yes please do that interview
12:15 < coil front foot Point front foot back to second When picking up front foot, tilt shoulders slightly downward Glove arm point to 45 then bring back in Work on his mobility, pec mobility 17:35 < need to stop the rotation of chest to allow for a whip/recoil mechanism to allow for the arm to whip forward 21:05 < prevent the lead leg from moving forward by keep rotating the hip which will straighten the leg
Mechanics do look different, but biggest change I’m seeing is that he’s not rocking a stache at 90. Pretty sure that was the biggest change for the velo🤷♂️ Forgot to add: need strider on the tread podcast fasho
Very interesting breakdown. Your discussion on the energy transfer reminds me a lot of Colonel John Boyd and his Energy Maneuverability theory in military aircraft & warfare.
Awesome breakdown, thank you! Really cool seeing everything that goes into being a professional athlete. Loved the mechanical breakdown too, I think other pitchers have benefited from shorter arm paths
Looks like he overstrides quite a bit to get that velocity. Another guy who did that and had arm injuries was Tim Lincecum. I wonder if anyone has analyzed that to see if there's a correlation to guys who have needed Tommy John. 🤔🤔🤔
i dont think overstrides is the problem..the only correlation to guys have needed tommy john is high velocity and lots of innings maybe nowdays starter should throw like jordan hicks(2024) they should control their speed not full speed all the time
@@abs1071 Tommy John didn't throw high velocity, lol. If the stride is too long where is the arm, trailing a lot further away than a guy who isn't over striding.
Wouldn't call him a mechanical trainwreck just because he's been injured. There are many other factors that can affect health such as body composition, overuse, etc. You can learn about his mechanics here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cShWwxN0P98.html
Philippians 2:10-11 King James Version 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND REPENT JESUS LOVES YOU HE DIED FOR YOU SO YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS AND REPENT!🙏🙏 AMEN.!!!
The flatness of his FB is due to the axis and speed of rotation, would you say? Like he is getting true (or close to true) 12-6 spin with the axis perpendicular to the direction of flight? How is he doing this?
