As a pitcher in high school I obsessed about mechanics but missed the unifying principle of rhythm and tempo. Your references to the kinetic chain are very insightful. My question is how do you teach these elements. As I coached my kids, I started with emphasizing weight shift and taught them to throw by shuffling their feet sideways glove towards the target and throwing arm back - scarecrow position. I was amazed at how their arms find a natural path because of the weight transfer from the shuffle. I’m going to try and instill “the drift” starting from a stretch position, but then how to feel the drive, and the role of the glove hand and the rest of the kinetic chain. Thanks for the lesson!
I love "athletic" drills that get the body moving and up tempo. It allows kids to find those fluid patterns that you don't get from coaching to static positions!
I love listening to your explanation of the pitching motions and movements. You are a great orator my friend! Thank you for the videos, I really enjoy them!
I'm just glad coaches stopped messing with what side of the rubber guys pitch from. could have avoided more headaches than I can count if mine in college had just let me do what I did, and not move me to 3rd base side because "it creates angles." That and arbitrarily trying to drop guys arm slots "just to see what happens." Went from highly effective on the first base side of the rubber with low to mid 90s armside run to throwing across my body and suddenly having control problems when I never did before college. The new wave of college and high school pitchers will benefit significantly from the new blood in coaching and philosophies, and I'm here for it. Guys on the bump have to trust their stuff and feel confident in what they are doing... pitching is already hard enough without any type of self-doubt.
Awesome break down! I do think he knows how to pitch way more efficiently than 99% of pitchers.... i mean who else do you see that’s 5’8 pitching 95+mph? Not many.... i can only think of 1 other that’s the same or similar height eric pardinho.
He uses his big muscles very effectively. That shift during the windup is very critical. I remember Nolan Ryan had a big shift during his windup. For a little guy he sure can load his body very well. Alot of power. The more I watch Strohman he looks alot like Nolan Ryan pitching mechanics. Same leg works, stride the same. Just amazing.
Amazing video! Being a lover of baseball (not a pitcher) I am helping coach my son's team. Your explanations and walk through of pitching mechanics really helped me to identify the "why" for each motion. Mind blown! I feel I just got years of info in just over an hour. Thank you.
Impressive evertime I see you I wonder why you're not in the majors you young. Admiration and can you plz do pedro martinez it's allot to learn and mariano rivera they had a super clean velocity and two of the best all time thanks God bless and keep up the good 👍 work shearing information that are very good to understand.
yo i appreciate the free info and i know u gotta sell something to be a business but would it possible for you to share that mechanical checklist with us?
I noticed I have a pushing arm and I think the problem is what you talked about @47:35 how would I increase posterior tilt, etc to improve my layback to around 180 degrees?
Hi, I play baseball and I'm a pitcher and I want you to please make the videos in Spanish. Let's have a lot of Latinos who play your videos. Please do that.
1:00:17 so why does verlander seem to hyperextend his front leg then you have tom seaver whose front leg was @ 90º when landing and his hips rotated fully, his leg never extended???
It's because in the grand scheme of things, the pawback mechanism is a minor effect. My best guess is it's worth 1-3 mph over a front leg like Beuhler, Colon or Seaver who stabilize both front-to-back and laterally but don't get much pawback. The main thing to avoid is further sinking into a soft front knee even further after landing.
I have back of shoulder pain, the wings and back of neck hurts after pitching for first time in a while. What do you think it is? And is it bad? I’m getting better but I wanted to know if it’s a common pain and if I can prevent it
Difficult to answer over the internet - I'd get your mechanics assessed by a qualified coach and if it persists see a therapist or doc who specializes in throwers.
@@treadathletics yeah coach said cause I’m throwing right now the muscles that I never used are getting extended more now and that was the pain. I’m better now. :) man it hurt for like 2 days! My whole body was sore haha. I’m it of shape too haha
Your gonna work pretty much the exact same as someone that is shorter than you or taller than you. If you can replicate what Stroman is doing at 6 feet its not like your gonna throw any slower
my motivation as a short pitcher
Me too
Ye I’m 15 throwing 80, I’m 5.10 and started working out last month

“Hopefully we will take 20-25 minutes” *the video is an hr and 30 min*
Yeah I probably should have edited out that part after it turned into a 90 minute video!
@@treadathletics I would rather have this than a 20-25 minute video, don’t worry. I love this in depth stuff
WHO DOES IT LIKE THIS
Insanely in depth analysis, amazing video!
I had never noticed that crazy stretch in his chest. I wish I could get in that position at landing.
At what point in the video is the stretch at
Love Stroman! Can you do Walker Buehler?
I can readily apply the sensibility I gain from your cogent analysis to tennis and golf. Thank you so much for your apt characterizations.
This was amazing! The breakdown is fantastic and really makes me feel like I can make some changes to my delivery.
Sent this to my pitchers . We preach to our players to be students of the game ! Excellent analysis and explanations!!!! Keep up the great work!
Much appreciated!

I think you hit your 20 minute breakdown target.
Dustin May, Jack Flaherty, or Shane Bieber. (Analysis)
OR
Walker Buehler, Luis Castillo, Aarón Nola.
Thank you!
Either one of those guys is good. DeGrom

Appreciate you!
Thanks for the post I’m going to try to replicate that checklist for my mechanics
Tread Athletics do one on aroldis Chapman or deGrom
Dustin May, Walker Buehler, Luis Castillo, Shane Bieber, Aarón Nola, Jaír DeGrom! Plz
Shoulder hip separation and good arm whip

You guys are the best in the business. Do you make the breakdown analysis sheet available to your subscribers?
Are you saying triple extension is not an optimal way to increase velocity?
god damn you're like the smarter every day of baseball.... love this
Analyse Trevor Bauer please
Can you do a breakdown on how Mariano Rivera was so consistently accurate with his cutter?
Impressive evertime I see you I wonder why you're not in the majors you young.

Do Aroldis Chapman
Frozen06 Gang yes
Deivi Garcia kinda does this too
How could I get Rob Friedman's document: "Mechanical Analysis". Thank.
Can you do Jacob deGrom

Glad you enjoyed it
do joe kelly next
Love Stroman, can you do Doug Nikhazy
Great video
What’s the name of the beat in background
@12:31 how would you go about fixing this if my heel pops up to early?
Shoot us an email - a bit of a complex answer. Could be a mobility issue or a patterning issue or both.
I want bryce miller mechanical breakdown
How can he throw such a good spin rate fastball
Do a video about kelly
Can you do Tyler glasnow

Can you do someone who is 6 ft tall exactly, I’m six foot tall and would love to see how someone works with my heights thanks for the great info
Your gonna work pretty much the exact same as someone that is shorter than you or taller than you. If you can replicate what Stroman is doing at 6 feet its not like your gonna throw any slower
You’re joking, right, who cares
He did jack leiter he’# like 5 11 ,6 ft

can you analyze RYAN SHERIFF?
I'll shoot him a text and see if he's cool with it.

trevor bauer aroldis chapman hunter strickland
Im 5,8 how i can only thro about 75 how do i throw harder

Analyze Trevor Bauer
Like first. before watching
Very much valuble 1h30
Anyone have a quick summary on this video so I don’t have to go through the whole hr 30
Double speed and you only have to watch 45... 👀
Should pitcher do weight training in the season?
Only enough to maintain strength
What's with Stroman and pulling the back of his pants down under his shoes? I hate that, makes them look like they're wearing spats for christ's sake
You look like jelly when you do an example throw
You're not wrong.
ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND REPENT JESUS LOVES YOU HE DIED FOR YOU SO YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS AND REPENT!🙏🙏 AMEN..
Pretty sure he's only 5'7
Oof.
@@treadathletics ya but as another 5'7 person I'm fine with him being called 5'8
This video was way too long to even be helpful. Information overload much?
If you don't know what to do with information, then information is unhelpful.
