Advanced Throwing And Pitching

Advanced Throwing/Pitching Training

Are You Looking For Advanced Throwing Or Pitching Coaching?

The following programs are great for players looking to improve their understanding of the latest baseball technology and help improve their throwing/pitching in many ways. The key to these programs are knowing how to use the technology and implement changes. It has been great to see many programs/showcases now have modern baseball technology, but sadly rarely do players get taught what the data/slow motion video means and how to use this information to their advantage. This is because you need to have a very good understanding of what creates rotational power, where the common faults are, and which key points of data or video to focus on. Without this it becomes very overwhelming for players and coaches to work their way through the data and video analysis.

What Programs Do We Offer?

Option 5: One-on-One Individual Training session

 

Who Is This Designed For?

Options 1-4 are small groups sessions, a max of three per group to maximise effectiveness and efficiency in both time and costs. Players often need small rest breaks and short periods to work on drills themselves to learn from internal or external feedback.

However, in some situations players benefit from one-on-one training focus for an extended period of time to learn certain rotation power movements. We perform these sessions at the physiotherapy clinic only. These can be booked online at the physiotherapy clinic, P3- Pontifex Physiotherapy and Performance, or you can email us about this option.

 

To Benefit From The Technology You Need A Coach With:

  • A great understanding of biomechanics
  • A great understanding of all the data available for players
  • A great understanding of how to implement the changes from the data/technology into what players can understand and use. This is the hardest part of using modern technology.

Expected Player Outcomes:

  • Players to understand technology and how it can help them be a better pitcher
    • Which numbers/data to focus on and not get overwhelmed or confused with the technology.
  • Improved pitch design and/or throwing mechanics
  • A plan and training goals for the next weeks/months following the program
  • Velocity will likely improve, but this is not the primary purpose of the program. We have other programs for this including “Rotation Power” and “Baseball Specific Weight Training”. Please contact us for these programs.

Who can Sign Up For These Programs?

  • Any player with a great attitude and willing to learn. There is no skill requirement, just that you are willing to attend each session and put in the effort to improve as a pitcher/thrower.
  • Age: We recommend ages 13 and up, but can be slightly younger if the player is mentally and physically ready.
  • Players that can be independent with their training.
    • Players will be given instructions/drills to work on by themselves at times during the program and at home.
  • Location: GlandSlam Hitting Centre, Caringbah.
    • Dates and times are updated regularly and can be found on the booking link.
