A Jedi Throwing Program

In a galaxy far, far away there was once a Jedi Master by the name of, Yoda. Standing at just over 2 feet in stature, Yoda possessed the ability to conquer is enemies, not with brawn, but by a mere concentration of brain power, proving, undoubtedly, that anything is possible when you put your mind to it. Back in this galaxy, much can be learned from the examples of the mighty Yoda.

I wanted to discus the importance of concentrating and throwing correctly when we have the opportunity to throw at all. You see, as pitchers, we do not get to just throw and throw. Unlike a hitter, who can take swings in the cage or off a tee all day (assuming they have some good batting gloves), a pitcher does not have the luxury of being able to throw all day long. We, as pitchers, have what everyone loves to refer to as, “a limited number of bullets.” Lets think for a moment, what this means.

This means, that the time that we do get to spend throwing, because it is limited, needs to be taken very seriously. When done correctly, your throwing for the day shouldn’t take up more than 10, MAYBE 15, minutes of your day. That’s 10 minutes out of a possible 1,440 in a day. That’s less than .7% of your day. I can guarantee you, that if you can convince yourself to focus for those 10 minutes, and carry out a well structured throwing program, you will not only improve your skills, but you notice that improvement sooner than you think. So what do I mean by a “well structured” throwing program?

A well structured throwing program consists of warming up properly and efficiently, to make sure we are getting ourselves in the right positions. Listed below, are some links to some videos of throwing drills. When used, and executed properly, these three positions will serve as an excellent warm up to not just get your arm loose, but help train your brain to get it in the right positions. Throwing, just like so many other things is strongly influenced by muscle memory. With a little painstaking repetition, we can train ourselves to throw correctly, as long as we put our minds to it.

Your throwing time, like time itself, is limited. Don’t waste it!

“If strong concentration you posses, throw better you will”

Position 1: The Power Position – to help get your throwing hand in a good, and powerful, position

Position 2: Full Arm Swing – to help create a smooth and efficient arm path

Position 3: Balance Position – to improve the timing of the separation of our hands

Should I even consider Baseball Training for a 4-6 Year Old Child?

Baseball is the one sport where a bat purchase can really change the way a kid can hit in most parents eyes. It is always the bat and the bat companies are doing their part with their awesome artwork and catchy names.

I am here to tell you, the bat does not fix the problem. We live in a world where most people spend tons of time and money on a bat and never make the much-needed investment to teach a kid how to use it.

I see $300 and $400 bats all of the time in my ProBatter Pitching Simulator at 3-6-5 Baseball Academy accompanied by terrible swings and bad advice from Dads and coaches.

My advice is to buy a used bat at Play It Again Sports or Craigslist and then going to your local baseball training facility that has professionals that  know hitting.  Purchase the smallest package they have and take notes because after the lesson, you become the teacher Dad.   You honestly do not need to spend $1,000’s of dollars on lessons if you are going to work with them outside of the training facility and I am in the business of selling those packages to people like you. 

Remember, it’s not the bat, it’s the person using it.  You want the best for your child so please realize they will only be as good as the information you give them access to so make the investment to teach them how to use that high dollar bat.
