An Illustration of the Kinetic Chain

The picture to the right illustrates the complexity of the pitching delivery by breaking down the motion as:

1.     The Semi Truck represents the legs and the linear motion of moving down the mound. Pitchers try to create as much momentum toward the plate as early as possible.

2.     The Merry-Go-Round represents the trunk and core. The linear power of the truck is transferred up the Kinetic Chain into the core. Pitchers should rotate the hips as quick at the proper time to create maximum core rotational power.

3.     The Ferris Wheel represents the upper body which includes the glove side and the throwing arm. The power developed in the core if sequenced correctly transfers to the arm to generate maximum arm speed.

How do we train these complex movements?

Our training program focuses on all three areas of the delivery with the understanding that one area is not more important than the other. We develop strength and quickness in these areas. We also help pitchers better sequence these movements to help transfer energy efficiently by .using high speed video analysis. Interested in our training programs?

What others have to say:

"The velocity program not only helped increase my velocity, but it also helped me develop good throwing habits through proper arm care and recovery. I gained a ton of knowledge from this program, and it made me a better pitcher." Ty Drabick, RHP,  Kent State University
"Four of our pitchers trained with Grady's Pitching School in the Velocity Development Program in 2016. By the conclusion of the 2017 spring season, we saw an improvement in numbers across the board, increased velocity, improved arm health, and an overall improvement in confidence on the mound from our guys. The Velocity Development Program exceeded all expectations with the individualized attention that was provided, competitive work environment, professionalism, and knowledge of the staff. Coach Grady and his staff will continue to play a vital role in the overall development of our baseball program." Shane Byler, Head Baseball Coach, Lake Center Christian.
