A common question is what makes Kyle Hendricks, Greg Maddux or others throw slower than other pitchers (like Walker Buehler). Outside of various genetic differences (which can explain differences in some cases), here are a few bio-mechanical inefficiencies that may help you learn how to identify these same components in your own delivery.

He might be slow but he has nasty stuff

@dannylau8010 3 года назад

So I'm 6'4" and in high school I was like 165. My mechanics were overall pretty solid and I worked on them a ton, but I couldn't break a pane of glass with my fastball. Watching Hendricks here and the comparison with Buehler it makes me wonder how much more velo I had in me if I just learned some of these small things like staying tall over the pelvis and keeping the back foot anchored to the rubber.

Great breakdown! amazing information.

Cool to see a complete break down. It’s crazy how much goes into pitching.

Please do an analysis of Randy Johnson!

@nickgazo7847 3 года назад

Specifically, whether he stayed stacked, was heel driven, what his thoracic extension looked like, and how he got to his arm slot.

@treadathletics 3 года назад

Good idea! He was my favorite pitcher growing up.

@nickgazo7847 3 года назад

@@treadathletics Randy was my amazing but I'm right handed so Pedro was my guy! The Tread Athletics blog on Arm Slot has a great image of Pedro extending his body to achieve his arm slot which helped it "click" for me.

@antoniorenteria6799 3 года назад

When I pitched, my legs were like Hendricks but my torso was upright. It felt natural for me to “sink” into the mound while moving sideways. I realize now that probably slowed my delivery time

@mikeliang583 3 года назад

Can you the comparison between Charile Morton's mechanics when he first came up and his mechanics right now. His velo hand increased by 8 mph. So I want to see what he had changed

Hendricks might be nearing the end of his pitching career, but he’s gonna make an insane pitching coach.

Please do Darvish or Senga Kodai.

@imalwayslast3170 3 года назад

Hendricks doesn't throw a lot of fastballs, so that throwing motion doesn't surprise me. It's a lot of changeups and sinkers for the most part. He relies on control and locating more than blowing it past people. And the ERA comparison is pretty close. So if it works...stick with it. Buehler is probably more likely to blow his arm out on top of it. Good video though...I like the breakdown.

@ericr7205 3 года назад

I have the same exact issue with Hendricks by being hunched over towards third base upon leg lift instead of staying tall, is there any drills our cues to address this? Thanks!

@treadathletics 3 года назад

Stay tall is the simplest one, along with feeling the weight more towards the heel than the toes. There's not necessarily one specific drill but it's a cue that you can use in any and all drills / throws. Keeping the pelvis underneath you. Here's a feel that may help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HiJFPA7JgSo.html

@kenkerkhoff3512 3 года назад

Great video. Looking at it from this angle, does hip rotation turn the front foot at foot plant or is it more of a forced rotation of the front foot? Thanks!

@treadathletics 3 года назад

The pelvis drives the rotation and the back foot reacts to that. Ideally the back foot stays engaged until the last second and as the pelvis rotates that tension rotates the hip down into landing and spirals down to the foot which should evert and turn over to some extent into landing.

I wanna see him too, some of the best upper half mechanics and arm action. People could learn a lot from his arm action and syncing arm into plane of rotation. Defintion of effortless and loose.

@@johntorroella162 A fool? Hendricks has been lockdown in the playoffs and in game 7's or close out games. Dude is certainly a GREAT playoff pitcher. His era is 3.12 while kershaws is 4.19. I mean, honestly you would have to go to certain players in the hall of fame to find much better ERA in the postseason. 2016 hendricks was one of the best playoff pitchers in recent memory.
