"How These Pitchers Reached
Their Maximum Velocity Potential" 

by Paul Reddick, Camp Director, Yogi Berra Museum

You're here. Awesome! That says something about you. 

It tells me you’re looking for ways to improve you're pitching. 

I’m a coach, I respect that. If a player or parent is looking to learn then I’m willing to help. So, let me tell you what these guys did. 

Each of these pitchers (and many more) all focused on their "MVP" - Maximum Velocity Potential. They didn’t use “traditional” methods either. 

Most pitchers and coaches make the mistake believing that the only way to throw

harder is to long toss, lift weights or do shoulder and core exercises. 

Don’t get me wrong there's a time and place for all that. But, none of that

stuff will work if you're not throwing at your "MVP" - Maximum Velocity Potential. 

“MVP” simply means that you're getting everything you can out of all you've got. 

Nothing else will work unless you're doing that. 

Look at it like this...Let's say you have a car with one flat tire and you want it to go faster so you put a huge engine in it. All it is now is car capable of going fast but won't reach the potential of that engine until you fix that tire. 

That's how pitching works. Long toss, weights, shoulder exercises are all like getting

a big engine but if you're not at “MVP” when you start it ain’t gonna work right. 

Here's how you get your “MVP” just like the guys on this page:

1. Aggressive First Movement - You're first move when you're throwing has to be aggressive or it's wasted. Don’t ever “turn your shoulder”, “show the number” or “stay back over the rubber”. It’s wasted movement. This can increase velocity up to 4mph.

2. Visual Velocity - This is how you make your fastball look faster to the hitter. This can increase the look of your fastball by 3mph

3. Body Balance - The arm won't speed up what it can't slow down. Did you know that in your shoulder there are 3 muscle groups that speed up the arm and only 2 that slow it down. If you build up those slow down muscles you're arm will be able to speed up to your MVP. This will help if you feel like you have more in you but just can't find it. It's cause you're not balanced. This is really easy to fix too.  

To make this all simple for you I've made a few cheat sheets and videos for my students that explain every thing in detail. 

You can have them FREE so you'll know how to put all this to work for you. 

I usually charge for this kind of stuff. But, since you’re one of those guys who step up and take action I’ll hook you up. Just use the form below to send me an email and click the “Hook Me Up Paul” button and I'll send you to a page where you can download all of it.
