"Enjoy this [--] mph slow mo from @MitchellWhite99 at last week's Pro Day. It only took a few days to sign with the @SFGiants. Some mechanical thoughts: First move: -Check out the drift/pelvic posterior tilt/coil while staying on the inside of the back foot. -Big glove tap timing mechanism keeps the arm relaxed. -Eyes down helps keep the upper half from coming into the throw early. Linear move: -Smooth bicycle kick leg lift eases the transition into the linear move. -Stays stacked over the pelvis and rides a relatively shallow hinge which leads to a shorter stride (77% of height) and more"

"Have you ever tried just.lifting your leg higher This was Nolan Ryan's key. He swore that the higher he lifted his leg the harder he threw. It's not about the leg lift itself per se; it's about what it does to set the pelvis into posterior tilt (belt buckle to the sky). Because the only way to get your leg this high is to tilt the pelvis. Tilting the pelvis influences the drift and provides more room in the rear hip to internally rotate. Not sure Do a couple Skubal throws next plyo session measure the velocity before/after and decide from there. But remember: it isn't necessarily about the"

"Your ideal stride length is determined by how long you can stay in the hinge while still being able to ROTATE out of it. Here's an example of a pitcher who has thrown 101+ (98 here) but only strides 83% of his height. Longer strides aren't inherently better"

"The degree of coil is definitely an individual factor. As there are hundreds of MLB pitchers who coil it can obviously work well for certain guys. One group that struggles w/ this is guys with limited hip IR. It's possible that was the context. Happy to discuss further if you want to DM me"

"Throwing hard opens up all sorts of possibilities for absolutely disgusting offspeed pitches. Command work matters but so does velo & pitch design work.

"I've noticed that relatively few MLB pitchers can approach their game velocities in a bullpen setting. Here's a sample of guys I work with comparing their top bullpen/game velos in recent years. My theory on why this tends to be the case: Desensitization. (🧵)"

"This is a foundational video for people who don't quite understand what "deceleration" means within the pitching delivery. To turn your arm into a whip requires deceleration of the pelvis/trunk. After reading @108_Performance book twice and taking multiple of his hitting courses I was doing a deep dive on deceleration a few years ago.

"Thinking back to the whip analogy this is why someone who properly times the "waves" of energy in the whip crack can create a MUCH more powerful crack with less effort than someone who has mistimed the action and never decelerates (even if intent level is through the roof)"
