"We have been looking for a solid pitching mechanics video that we can recommend for all ages. Dan Gazaway has now given us just that... straight forward, detailed, yet not overwhelming. His teaching fits with all the current research without being a science class - just good coaching." -
Richard Todd
Do you want to increase your pitching velocity? Too many athletes rely on arm strength alone to try and generate power. A pitcher must understand how to utilize his entire body while throwing.
The step-by-step instructions clearly explain how a pitcher can reach his full throwing potential. Applying these strategies will ensure you increase your velocity and gain precise control of each pitch.
I have taken the best practices from hundreds of baseball camps, instructional leagues, major league ball players and pitching coaches and condensed that information in this book, focusing on each phase of pitching mechanics.
With the addition of over twenty illustrations make it easy to follow and put into practice. This Pitching Mechanics eBook is a complete guide to mastering your pitching technique and overall performance on the mound.
"The Pitching Mechanics e-Book is a simple and short read that illustrates and outlines the full pitching motion, covering all the main aspects of pitching mechanics that have helped my son and the other pitchers on his team. The e-Book focuses on those points that are key to being a successful and injury free pitcher. A parent or coach could read the e-Book and in a short period of time easily identify changes in mechanics that could help a pitcher improve his velocity and control." -Kevin Dahl-
, accuracy and overall dominance on the mound!Have you considered that the strength and stability of your core is affecting your pitching velocity?
A strong core is critical for generating the power necessary to become an explosive and controlled pitcher. Whether you are throwing a fastball, curveball, slider, or any other pitch, you will be able to enjoy optimal control, balance and dominance on the mound. You will also reap the benefits of maintaining proper pitching mechanics and finish the game stronger than you started.
WHY IS CORE STRENGTH SO CRITICAL FOR BASEBALL PITCHING??
The easy answer is: Your core is the hub that connects your entire body’s kinetic chain. So, in order to transfer energy from the ground to your arm, that energy needs to transfer through your core.
Book contains over 100 Illustrations and explanations of exercises.
Why has The PitchingAcademy put a “Hitting Mechanics E-book” on their website?
We are thrilled!Former professional baseball player, Nate Barnett has crushed the competition and wrote the best instructional book about Hitting Mechanics we’ve seen. We are confident you will see results from it.In this powerful e-book, Mr. Barnett will take you by the hand and show you step by step how to succeed in hitting. Relying on physical talent alone is not enough. But understanding and applying power generating techniques will help you transform your swing.
Hitting Mechanics 101 contains the most effective fundamentals and techniques available. As an instructor and former professional baseball player, Nate Barnett has condensed information gained from high level college and professional coaches and made it available to you in this step by step guide. Full color photos demonstrate the five essential steps to a proper swing. In addition, you will be able to see the fundamentals in action with imbedded video clips totaling over 20 minutes of training footage. Apply the easy to follow steps and principles in Hitting Mechanics 101 and see a dramatic increase in your power and consistency.
Without
proper pitching mechanics a pitcher will fail to meet his full throwing
potential; he won’t know what he could have truly become.
The Pitching Academy was founded in 2001 because of the
growing need for sound pitching instruction. Growing up I was taught by
some of the best professional pitching coaches. Using the knowledge I
had received from these instructors, I began working with many
pitchers. Over the last six years I have instructed thousands of
students! We assure that we will continue to offer the most up to date
pitching instruction available. For information regarding pitching mechanics, pitching tips, pitching grips and pitching workouts; click on the links!
I recently took a trip from Seattle down to Utah to provide some hitting instruction with some hitters in the Salt Lake City area. I had the opportunity to connect with Dan Gazaway of the Pitching Academy and watch him work with his pitchers on pitching mechanics and pitching grips. I was impressed at the way Dan connected with his players and relayed pitching information. While there are countless former athletes who provide various levels of baseball instruction, very few have the ability to communicate training information effectively with each player. Dan Gazaway has that ability.
Good pitching mechanics take time to develop and Dan works in an organized manner with the clear focus of player understanding in mind. He won’t rush players ahead but he’ll shift and change mechanics until an athlete understands the correct approach. I even tagged along on a few pitching lessons and Dan taught me a splitter! Only if I had learned that back when I pitched in college.
