Is Your Velocity Stuck?
Do You Struggle With Command When Trying to Throw Hard?
Josiah Gray - Washington Nationals
Hey, I'm Lantz.
Like most pitchers, I’m guessing you’ve been told 10 different things by 10 different coaches.
One coach tells you to drive off the rubber. Another tells you to stay back. Someone else says you need more hip-shoulder separation, while another swears it’s all about lead leg block.
Now you don’t know who to trust, what to believe, or how to fix it.
So you start overthinking, over-analyzing, and second-guessing every move you make. And before you know it, your mechanics feel forced, your athleticism disappears, your velocity and command start to suffer and you're mental health is shot.
That’s one of the biggest killers of performance because the body and mind are connected.
But the good news is your problems will fix themselves once you FEEL where you're leaking velocity.
That's the case for 99% of pitchers.
You Can’t FEEL Where You’re Losing Velocity.
The reason you’re stuck isn’t because you need more strength. It’s not because your arm isn’t strong enough. And it’s definitely not because you need more mechanical cues to overthink.
The real problem is that you can't FEEL where you’re leaking velocity.
- If you could feel what’s holding you back, you’d fix it instantly.
- If you could sense where energy is leaking, you’d stop losing velocity and command.
- If you could move the way your body was designed to, everything would fall into place—without effort.
What We Do Differently
- We focus on increasing velocity by reducing where you are leaking.
- We don’t overload you with mechanics and drills because your mechanics will fix themselves once you are moving from the middle of the body the way it was meant to move.
- We don't overload you with tech talk or verbal cues; instead, we teach you to teach yourself by FEEL.
When you remove the confusion, when you stop chasing mechanics, and when you learn to move the way your body was designed to, your entire world changes and suddenly the game becomes fun, once again.
Like I said earlier...
Most pitchers already have more velocity in the tank—but no matter what you do, you won’t unlock it until you seal the leaks that are losing you velocity.
- This isn’t a program that chases velocity.
- This isn’t about arm strength or leg drive.
- This is about moving efficiently from the middle of your body to seal the leaks stealing your velocity, command, and arm health.
You can lift more weights. You can get stronger. You can throw weighted balls.
But until you can FEEL and seal the leaks that are costing you velocity, nothing will work.
Nothing will transfer.
You’ll still be stuck in the same spot.
Velocity. Command. Arm health.
They aren’t things you chase.
They’re a byproduct of moving efficiently.
At the end of the day it all comes down to you being able to FEEL the difference between what you're doing right, and wrong.
Once you can FEEL what you're trying to do, you stop over-thinking, and you allow your athleticism to take over and give yourself a chance to compete at the highest levels of your potential.
Trust what you FEEL!
