Dear Prospective Student and Parent,
Explosive Pitching University is my personal creation based on my life's experiences as a player, coach, instructor, and parent. It is far different than how I was taught. It is far different than I coached 10 years ago. It is far different than I coached it 3 years ago.
Explosive Pitching University:
Velocity - We don't ignore the importance of velocity for someone who wants to play collegiate, or professional baseball. In fact velocity is something that absolutely can be improved. WE WILL IMPROVE YOUR VELOCITY...GUARNTEED! How much ? The results will differ, but the average student has been recorded to gain between 3-4mph in just a 12 week period. The averages also show a 6-7mph increase in a 12 month period.
While others are creating great target hitters, and completely ignore the importance of training, we recognized and work all of our skill around the center of better pitching velocity.
74mph to 81mph in one off-season!
"Mike's the #1 pitcher and bats 2nd in the lineup (at a class 8A school with over 2,600 students) and when he's not pitching, he's at short. This is largely the result of your work and dedication. You have documented Mike's improvement in pitching from throwing 74mph to 81mph, and don't forget, he's 14 yrs old and does not turn 15 yrs old until the end of the Summer. You also have an equally impressive improvement record in his batting...bat speed, ball exit speed, etc."

Command/Control: Build Velocity and Improve Control!
Command/Control can and will improve as we improve and generate more speed. If done correctly! We utilize a drill series that focuses on learning the pitching delivery in the most efficient manner. Command and Control is generally determined exactly where your arm and body line up at release point. Our Backward Chaining Drills focus on the end of the delivery, and works backwards. This also improves the speed of the learning environment for quicker awareness and progress.
Movement/deception/off-speed
All are important parts of the pitching equation and should not be over-looked.
Here is what we will NOT do!
Cookie Cut. Some actually want this! We don't try to replicate and duplicate each pitcher to look like one particular pitching model. For example saying that Greg Maddux, has perfect mechanics and that everyone should throw like Greg Maddux would not be the answer to your pitching development. Could some throw very similiar to Maddux, absolutely. We wouldn't want to change Clemens and tell him he should throw like Maddux.
Style Nuetral/Results Focused
We objectively measure as much as we possibly can in our lessons and training classes. Our pitchers will receive objective feedback that is recorded based on the goal of the activity. For example if the goal is to throw strikes, we will record each and every throw, in each and every drill and provide % of strikes feedback. We will also get the pitcher involved in the learning process. Where did you miss the most? Why? What are the adjustments that need to be made?
We will do the same with Velocity Measurements. We allow the student freedom to experiment and learn and develop a better throwing motion.
While the rest of the world is pitching too much and not throwing enough, our program is trying to prepare the pitcher for battle by over-training for the event.
78mph to 84mph in one year With Better Command!
"Fastball USA has provided Ed with a solid foundation of pitching motion. The velocity of his fastball was about 62 mph when he started in7th Grade. IN less than six months his velocity was 70 mph with better command of the strike zone. By Freshman Year you helped him improve to 78 MPH , and recently he hit 84mph as a sophomore. I’m confident that Fastball USA can help Ed make more improvements in his pitching this year. "

Arm Care........... How important is your arm to you?
Any Program That does not make this a focal point is an incomplete program!
Truth? The harder you throw the more likely an injury can occur. Injuries are common in baseball but often people point the finger to one or two things that cause injury.
Poor Mechanics....right? Pitch Counts.....right? We believe the most underestimated reason for injury for pitcher is that the pitcher is very under-prepared (physically) for the stress of pitching in a game. Meaning if the arm and body is stressing through a pitching outing, then you have not done enough to prepare for pitching in a game, or a season.
This is why Explosive Pitching University Works on what we call PRE-HAB!
Focus - Preparing the Arm and Body for the stress of pitching in a game or over a season.
Steps 1- Balance and build the strength in the arm, esecially where common weakness and injuries occur
Step 2 - Prepare the entire body by strengthening the legs, back, and stomach. Core strength is crucial.
Step 3 - Balancing the muscles throughout the body. Injuries commonly occur when one side of the arm or body is stronger than the other. So while pitching coaches talk about "balance", we often talk about balance is so many other ways.
Our Arm care Program is a daily 4 Step Process that includes as many as 36 different exercises in order to prepare the pitcher for game time battle. How much do you currently prepare your arm and body to pitch? No other program pays close attention to preparing the arm and body to be physically ready to pitch than our program.
So many billed Mark Prior as having perfect mechanics. He did the towel drill daily, but where is he now? If his mechanics were so good, and mechanics is the only factor in injury, then why did he get hurt?
