Pitching Workout: Core Strength Training eBook |
Want to increase pitching velocity, 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.

Throwing the baseball is a feet to fingertip exercise. You are only as strong as your weakest link. Therefore, if your weakest link is your core, you will have a difficult time generating optimal pitching velocity because of poor energy transfer from the hips through the torso to the throwing arm. You will also be more prone to injury as energy transfer will be inefficient and place undue strain on joints, ligaments and tendons. Pitchers increase their risk of developing lower back, shoulder and elbow injuries that can limit a promising future when they have a weak lower back, abdominals, or hip muscles.
To ensure your body is keeping up with the demands of throwing a baseball, it is imperative that you don’t neglect your core strength in favor of exclusively working on your pitching. Every time a pitcher throws a ball the movement requires him to bend at the waist and then return to a standing position, which requires tremendous strength and stabilization through the spine…and core. Throughout the course of the year many pitchers will tend to have lower back pain due to repetitive strain on the spine. This could very easily be avoided and managed by spending just a minimal amount of time improving core stability and strength.
This program has been carefully created to ensure that you are addressing all the muscles that work together to stabilize you as an athlete and pitcher. It contains a beginning (Phase I), Intermediate (Phase II) and advanced (Phase III) core pitching workout. This program was created specifically for your body to be challenged through every phase. You should begin to feel more balanced and stable in Phase I and then move into a stronger and more powerful body as you progress into Phases II and III.
It is so important to create a balanced body, which includes a healthy front to back strength ratio that will work together to give you the balance, stability and power you desire.
Before you begin your pitching workouts, it is crucial that you first take the time to warm up and prepare your core for the workload that pitching will require. You will create an effective and efficient delivery, prevent injury and optimize the time you are spending to improve your game.
