Are you tired of being the pitcher who “just throws” instead of the one who commands? Whether you’re a high school prospect in Florida or a club coach in Tokyo, the quest for elite velocity and pinpoint control is universal.
At Pitching University, we don’t believe in “cookie-cutter” drills. Led by former Major Leaguer Aaron Myette, our mission is to provide science-backed, pro-level training that protects your arm while maximizing your output.
1. Velocity Starts in the Ground (Not the Arm)
Most amateur pitchers try to generate power from their shoulder and elbow. This is a one-way ticket to the DL. True power is generated through Ground Reaction Force. By driving your lead leg and utilizing “triple extension” (hip, knee, and ankle), you create a kinetic chain that whips the ball forward without overtaxing your arm.
2. The 2:1 Pull-to-Push Ratio for Arm Health
To throw hard, you must be able to decelerate even harder. We advocate for a 2:1 ratio of pulling exercises (rows, chin-ups) to pushing exercises. Strengthening the posterior chain and the back of the shoulder ensures your “brakes” are strong enough to handle the “engine” of a 90+ mph fastball.
3. Mastering the “Dead Arm” Phase
Every pitcher hits a wall. Understanding the difference between general soreness and “dead arm” is critical for long-term success. Our programs emphasize Active Recovery—using mobility flows and medicine ball work to keep the blood flowing without the stress of a competitive mound session.
4. Quality Over Quantity: The 10-Step Mastery
Don’t be the pitcher with five mediocre pitches. Worldwide, the most successful hurlers master two:
- A high-spin Fastball with life.
- A deceptive Change-up that mirrors the fastball’s tunnel. Once these are “unhittable,” we introduce the science of the safe curveball.
5. Mental Toughness: The Pro Advantage
Mechanics get you to the game; your mind keeps you in it. We teach athletes how to “reset” after a home run. Developing a consistent pre-pitch routine is the secret to maintaining velocity even in the 7th inning.
