How to Increase Your Throwing Velocity by 10 mph

These two simple tips helped... A LOT!

1) I stopped trying to throw harder. Yep, that's right, I actually stopped trying to throw harder. You see, I was overthrowing. I was trying to get every single MPH out of my body as I could every time I threw a baseball. Once I stopped doing this, my mechanics improved as I let my body "take over" when I was pitching.

2) Make sure that when you start your pitching motion your shoulders and feet are aligned to home plate. this will allow your body to create torque easily and take stress off of your arm!

Until I learned how to throw harder, I was spending 3 hours a day researching "secret" drills and tips to increase my throwing velocity.

I even spent $250 to have an expert pitching coach review my mechanics and do a video analysis online. I asked him how to increase my throwing velocity. He said if I made certain changes in my mechanics velocity gains would come. I made every single change he told me to make to my pitching mechanics and I didn't gain a single mile per hour after 3 months.

Luckily you don't have to spend as much money as I did to learn the simple drills I used to increase my throwing velocity.

Huge changes to your pitching mechanics can take weeks to learn for experienced pitchers to increase your throwing velocity. Luckily for most pitchers, the necessary changes aren't huge at all. They're actually quite subtle.

Experts say that it can take up to 3000 repetitions of a certain action before it becomes muscle memory. This is true, however, they also say that larger changes to your pitching mechanics can take up to 5X that amount. While I understand that learning to increase throwing velocity takes time, it certainly does not have to take as long as you think!

This is one reason why most pitchers simply never reach the pitching velocity that they want to. The way I learned to increase throwing velocity only requires subtle changes and it sure is worth it!
