Stop accelerating down the mound. I’m sure you’ve heard the cue to accelerate down the mound. Get down the mound quickly. The mistake most people make, and the mistake I made when I was 16, was trying to force it. I was throwing slow, around 78 to 80 miles...

Stop Pushing With Your Back Leg As I trained to throw harder, I thought I needed to create a ton of momentum down the mound and really push off the rubber. That was actually holding me back from gaining pitching velocity for a couple reasons. The first reason was that pushing made it really hard for my pelvis to fire because it put me in a worse position instead of a better one. When I was pushing, it also made me fly open. The fix was thinking about keeping everything back and letting the pelvis rotate instead of pushing with my back leg. Most of your linear momentum comes from the drift and the drop in your delivery and the back leg. The back leg does have a role in building linear momentum, but its more important role is putting you in a good position to rotate. To create separation between your pelvis and your rib cage. That separation is what gives you true hip to shoulder separation that you can actually fire from.

What’s the best way to load into your back leg. When I threw 95, I tried to get as deep as possible and load into my back leg as much as I could. The way I got to 98 was by speeding up the drop and getting into my back leg as quickly as possible. As I’m training to throw a hundred miles an hour, I’m starting to think about it differently. Instead of dropping into my back leg and getting as deep as possible, I like to feel more of an impulse. I’m putting force into the ground and the ground pushes back and gives me a burst of energy toward the plate. Studies have shown that the guys with the best impulse from their back leg throw the hardest. That means putting the most force into the ground for the longest amount of time. When you see this, you get guys like Shane McLanahan, Misiorowski, and Strider who look like they’re almost jumping down the mound. They’re really just putting so much force into the ground that it propels them forward. The key for me is I don’t want to put force into the ground by tensing up. I don’t want it to feel like a single leg squat. It should feel more like a max effort jump. The quicker I go down, the higher I’m able to jump. That lets me take better advantage of the stretch shortening cycle and improve my impulse.

Lower body mechanics to throw 95 mph. There are four things about the lower body that I wish I knew when I was a 16 year old throwing 78 miles an hour and trying to throw 90 miles an hour and beyond. The first is the leg lift and how well you're able to start creating momentum toward the target. One of the biggest mistakes people make is thinking they need to fall forward as soon as they lift their leg to create drift. What worked for me was coming to a balance point first and then starting to shift my weight from there. That's still a form of drift, and you see a lot of Japanese pitchers do this, like Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The second component is the back leg and how it creates linear momentum toward the target. One of the biggest mistakes I made was diving too much into the quad. I'd get onto my toes and sink into my quad, which led to less power and actually made rotating much harder. Another mistake I made was squatting as deep as possible into the back leg, almost like a pistol squat. What actually helped me was simply dropping down as quickly as possible. I let gravity pull me down. If you've created enough drift, even just a slight drift, that drop will create linear momentum down the mound. The third component is getting the pelvis to rotate into foot plant. The biggest thing here is matching your pelvis plane of rotation and making sure the pelvis rotates down into foot plant rather than rotating upward. One of my favorite cues for this is to slam the knee down or get onto your shoelaces. The last component is simple. It's the lead leg block. You're trying to block all of the momentum you've created like your life depends on it. For me, I tried to extend as high as I could. That actually helped my pelvis continue to rotate because as the front leg extends, the pelvis gets more open. Those are the four things I wish I knew about the lower body when I was trying to gain pitching velocity.

I went from 92 to 98 miles an hour by adjusting my drop. When I used to think about the drop phase in my delivery, I thought I needed to drop as hard as I could into my back leg. So that’s what I did. I dropped in, got into a squat position, and powered myself out of it. That got me to the low to mid nineties. What got me to 96, 97, and 98 was learning to create linear momentum during the drop. I started moving down the mound instead of just dropping straight down. One of the biggest things that helped was dropping into the inside of my back foot. Before, I would drop into the sole of my back foot. That put me in a very vertical shin angle and I’d go straight down. Then I had to push out of it. The simple adjustment I made was dropping into the inside of my back foot. That put me in a position where my shin wasn’t as vertical. It created a force vector that helped me get down the mound and build linear momentum instead of just going straight down. That linear momentum wasn’t powered by me. It was powered by gravity. I was able to use gravity to my advantage and throw harder with less effort.

The simplest way I think about the lower body: The simplest way I think about my lower body mechanics goes like this. I’m in leg lift and shifting my weight a little bit. This is called the drift. As I shift my weight, all I need to do is let gravity pull me into the throw. That's what accelerates me down the mound. But I can't just continue to sink down. There is a stabilization that happens with the back leg. After this stabilization, I fire everything into rotation. My knee, hip, and foot all fire into rotation. This creates the separation between the pelvis, which yanks my spine into the throw. All of this happens subconsciously. You need to be able to do that subconsciously. You can't think about these things on the mound. If you start to think about them, which happen in milliseconds, it's too slow, and the result just isn't going to be as good.

Pushing Down the Mound Is Hurting Your Velocity The biggest mistake I see is guys trying to rotate by pushing. They try to push to create linear momentum down the mound. That’s the wrong way to go about it. When you push, it actually makes it harder to rotate. And rotation is where most of your velocity comes from. Hip to shoulder separation is responsible for a huge portion of pitching velocity. If you take away from that, you’re taking away from your velo. That’s why even from your knees, you can throw close to 80 percent of your top velocity. So the goal is to maximize rotation and create as much separation as possible. The pelvis fires toward the target while the rib cage, shoulders, and chest stay back. That stretch and torque is what propels your arm through.

Diagonal delivery vs L shape delivery. When I got up to 95, all I thought about was getting as deep into my back leg as possible. When I made the jump to 98, what I did was get into that drop a lot quicker. Now as I train to throw 100, I’m starting to think about it differently. If I sink too deep into my back leg, I create more of a drop and drive delivery where I have to drop first and then create energy toward the target. Rather than having it happen at the same time. Where I’m going down and out at the same rate. That’s the most efficient way to create as much energy toward the target as possible. One of the big fixes I’ve made is dropping into the inside of my back foot. Rather than putting force into the whole foot. This prevents me from getting too deep because I can’t get into a squat position when I’m putting force into the inside of my back leg. It also helps me create more energy toward the target. When you put force into the inside of your back foot, you’ll naturally move forward more than you move down. I also created a full guide on this, so if you want it, comment guide and I’ll send it through to you.

The Easiest Way to Increase Pitching Velocity. When I was going from 78 to 96 miles an hour, I did pull downs once a week. I also did either a mound velo day or a plyo velo day once more during the week. So why do I recommend high CNS throwing? There's a principle called the SAID principle, which stands for Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands. Basically, the body responds to what it's exposed to. As cliché as it sounds, if you want to throw harder, you need to throw hard. And you need to throw hard often. If you're only throwing at low intent, there's no real stimulus. There's no reason for the body to adapt and start throwing harder. But when you're doing pull downs and you're able to throw even harder than you can off the mound, that provides the stimulus. You're telling your body that it needs to adapt to handle that level of intent and velocity. When I was throwing 96 miles an hour, I was able to pull down 100, 101, and 102. I was exposing my arm, my body, my muscles, and my central nervous system to those speeds. They had to adapt. And once those adaptations were in place, they carried over to the mound and helped me throw harder.

This Back Leg Adjustment Got Me to 98 mph. What’s the best way to load into your back leg? When I threw 95, I tried to get as deep and load into my back leg as much as possible. The adjustment that got me to 98 was speeding up the drop into my back leg. I started dropping into that back leg as quickly as possible. The quicker you go down, the higher you can jump. That’s scientifically proven. That’s what we want to emulate in the pitching delivery with the back leg. We want to relax into it. We want to drop into it. By doing that we’re putting force into the ground not only vertically but horizontally as well. So to recap, you’re shifting your weight and then relaxing into your back leg. That’s what creates that burst of energy going forward.

How to Create Rotation With the Back Leg How you want to actually create rotation with the back leg. For me and higher level guys, I don’t even like to think about rotation. If you feel your hips rotating, it’s probably too slow. This is such a violent, explosive movement that happens in milliseconds. You shouldn’t even be able to feel it. That’s why I think about it as a weight shift. When you’re putting force into the ground, into that X direction, most of your weight is on the back leg. Then once you create that impulse and it propels you forward, all you need to think about is getting to the front leg. That force naturally rotates the hips into foot plant. For a lot of higher level guys, this helps a lot. They don’t have to think about rotating the hips. Because that can actually mess things up. Instead, it’s just force into the ground and get to the front leg. The pelvis will rotate on its own.

80% of pitching velocity comes from rotation. The biggest mistake I see is guys trying to rotate by pushing hard down the mound. They try to push to create as much linear momentum as possible. That’s actually the wrong way to approach it. When you push, it becomes much harder to rotate effectively. Rotation is where most of your pitching velocity comes from. Hip to shoulder separation is responsible for about 80 percent of your velocity. If you take away from that separation, you’re taking away from your velocity. That’s why even from your knees you should be able to throw about 80 percent of your top velocity. What we want to do is maximize rotation and create as much separation as possible. Your pelvis fires toward the target while the ribcage, shoulders, and pec stay back. That stretch creates torque through your torso. That torque is what propels the arm through the throw.

The biggest takeaway from this skeletal throwing depiction is the amount of force the thrower puts into the ground w/the lead leg. Notice how the leg stiffens & pushes back to 2B. It serves to decelerate the pelvis & transfer force up the chain. It becomes an arm speed enhancer.

Yamamoto Drill Progression 🧵⬇️ Yoshi has become the talk of Major League Baseball since signing with the Dodgers this off-season (rightfully so - he’s a freak). He does an incredible job of creating momentum down the mound, all while setting up his pelvis to rotate and block into FFS. If you’re a guy who struggles to do any or all of the things above, try this progression! 1️⃣ Javelin Lasso Variation: perfect to preset the pelvis in a position to block. Allows you to pull the arm into release using the spine and pec. 2️⃣ Abbreviated AA Roll-In: added momentum with the same benefits of the javelin lasso. 3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣ Yamamoto Walking Wind-Up (Abbreviated AA/Normal/Overhead): Abbreviated AA eliminates the arm swing (less things to screw up). The impulse of the overhead compresses the gloveside portion of your rib cage (delays lateral tilt - momentum killer). Slide Step vs. Leg Kick: IMO, the slide step makes it way easier to drift, hinge, and rotate behind the lead leg. As I step in, I try to feel the front hip stay open and then ride the slope sideways before catching the hinge into rotation. The leg kick can be added in once the slide step has been mastered.

FSD V14.1.7 | Near Accident This is without a doubt the closest I have come to getting into an accident in a long time. I think had I not taken over and slammed on the brakes we would not have slowed down in time. You can see that FSD does an incredible job reacting to the car (even before I noticed it) and was slowing down, but it was not slowing down enough to stop in time. As soon as I saw the car swerving to the right I worried she was going to bounce back into my lane so that is when I decided to go full on the brakes to stop the car. You can see prior to me taking over we were full regen braking (which is FSD reacting well) but it wasn't using any real brakes at all, and ABS was not active until I took over. Let me know what you all think in the comments. I still think FSD is incredible - the reality is if you watch the video the car saw and reacted to the situation before I did, it just didn't brake as agressively as it needed to in this situation. FSD + an attentive driver is without a doubt in my mind still safer than a normal human driver who is not using FSD.

full clip with Jeter and Bush in the locker room....so good Jeter: "I hear you're throwing out the first pitch, Mr. President. Will you be doing it from the mound, or the front of the mound?" Bush: "I think I'll throw from the front of the mound." Jeter: "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Mr. President. You're gonna get booed. This is Yankee Stadium." Bush: "Okay. I'll throw from the mound." Jeter starts walking out, turns, looks over his shoulder and says: "Don't bounce it. They'll boo ya."

A man who has never worked in a house before decides to attempt to install a roof vent because his home doesn’t have any and it’s causing massive heat spikes in the attic, how did he do, anything you would have done differently? I’ve been in his shoes before, I already told you about the first thing I attempted and I messed it up, not too bad but enough. Another time was when I was installing my first toilet. The one I was replacing leaked at the base. The flange it screwed into was a plastic Oatey flange and where the bolt holds down the toilet was broken. So the first thing I did was shut off the water, I drained the tank and proceeded to undo the bolts. I lifted it straight up and put it in a bag so it wouldn’t drip on the way down the stairs. I unscrewed the broken flange and replaced it with a new one. The problem was that since it was leaking, some of the wood was soft. I know I should have replaced the board but I didn’t. I ended up rotating the flange until I could screw into good dry board. That was my first mistake. Because after I got the new toilet base on, I over tightened it and not only cracked the toilet but I pulled up the flange because the wood was weak. Since I was replacing the tile anyways I ended up removing everything I did and I broke up all the tile and removed it. I took off the board and replaced it with a new one. I retraced my steps after I installed the vinyl floor planks and trimmed them to fit the flange. When I put the toilet back down it wasn’t flush. The old tile was thicker than the planks I put down so what I ended up doing was going to the store and getting silicone shims. In some spots I had to use several, I tightened it down and it worked well. No movement at all. I’m not sure if what I did was right but it worked. To this day that toilet is still in operation and it hasn’t budged since.

A man who has never worked in a house before decides to attempt to install a roof vent because his home doesn’t have any and it’s causing massive heat spikes in the attic, how did he do, anything you would have done differently? I’ve been in his shoes before, I already told you about the first thing I attempted and I messed it up, not too bad but enough. Another time was when I was installing my first toilet. The one I was replacing leaked at the base. The flange it screwed into was a plastic Oatey flange and where the bolt holds down the toilet was broken.
