This stuff is so rad. I wish that kind of thing had been available several years ago when I was coming through college and working hard to improve my mechanics!

Excellent. Description of the biomechanics, adjustments that add up very small which, when applied, generate energy that will be transformed into speed, which is what Tyler achieved, increasing miles. Thanks
great video. the hand break change and arm swing are obvious. breaking the hands at the hip (really old school) may help with balance and allow him to ride the mound. really good stuff.
When looking at back foot placement, do you guys care at all if the foot is “hooking” the rubber or not? Would that most likely lead to a more quad dominant pushing action due to much of the weight being on the wrong side of the foot?
Not typically a fan of hooking the rubber as it can lead to falling down the mound and the front hip tipping/elevating early. It worked for Sandy Koufax, so not saying it can't work. We'll sometimes split test toe out, neutral, toe in and hooking the rubber to see which position creates the best patterns and results for that athlete.
Good stuff...great explanation. How much does hand separation start the pelvic movement? In other words...I have found that the earlier my pitchers separate their hands the less pelvic action they get...less coil...less linear movement...early opening of hips at landing. Thoughts? Lastly...what is the software you are using...might have to look into it. I appreciate your comments and knowledge.
What you're describing is what we call the arm action "hijacking" the delivery or the arm coming into the throw too soon. Some pitchers "forget" to let the lower half build when breaking the hands too early, but the two variables don't have to be fundamentally tied together. Lots of MLB guys like Glasnow who use their lower half well and still have a long(er) arm swing. We had this side by side on Objectus for Mac OS.
Surely his longer arm action is having a positive effect on his velocity? What are the usual gains in velocity with your program? How many of your clients are now 95 and better?
I'd agree that lengthening his arm path was a positive change in his case. Gains in velocity vary based on lots of factors. You can read some stories here: treadathletics.com/featured-stories/ We've coached well over 1,000+ pitchers since 2015. I'd estimate 150-200 of them have hit 95 mph or better. Lots of our guys are pro and upper level college pitchers who are trying to get to the next level so they already throw in the low 90s, upper 80s, etc.
His arm action is much different with the Rays. It would appear that this longer arm swing would add velocity and natural timing to his mechanics. While he obviously has great mechanics, it didn't seem to help his location on his off-speed pitches in the World Series. Even at 100 mph, he got blasted several times. If you can't throw sliders for strikes, the batters pick up on that, so you are a sitting duck.
I saw an interview where he said before he was conscious about how long his arm path was because their so long but now he doesn’t think about it and let’s it move naturally
That depends. Realize that it isn't about the leg as much as it is the angle of the pelvis. In other words a coiled pelvis will force the knee to point back further towards 2B during the leg lift. A less coiled pelvis (belt buckle facing 3B) and the lead leg will follow suit. So the real question is what is the optimal pelvic angle relative to the back leg? That depends on your hip anatomy and some educated trial and error. Email us for more info.
What are your credentials? Do you have a degree in physiology? Biomechanics? Is the list of possible mechanics improvements a universal one? Is there more than one viewpoint when it comes to mechanics improvements? Do you hold the same views as Lance Wheeler?
There is no such thing as perfect mechanics, but there are general principles that most can agree on and that the research has validated. You can learn more about myself and our training here: treadathletics.com/
This is terrific material, but...doesn't Glasnow have a lifetime record of 15-18 with a 4.43 ERA? Wasn't he 0-2 in the 2020 World Series with a 9.64 ERA and 9 walks in 9.1 innings? This video tells us what he is doing right but what is he doing wrong?
@@CalebAlkema He is to be congratulated for the fine year he is having now. But with the numbers he put up previously he certainly was an underachiever. I'd like to see a video explaining the changes he made this season.
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!!!!!!!
These mechanical breakdowns are my favorite things to watch on RUclips

Absolutely love this....great stuff. My son can’t wait to work with you guys in person this summer.
Please do gerrit Cole, I think he has great mechanics and I would like if you explained them
Will do!

@@treadathletics How many of your clients have had Tommy John since they began training with you?
@@treadathletics So is your program entirely remote?
Please do one for Corey Kluber or Charile Morton!!!

He dosen't throw a slider
@@ashton4577 Ok, curveball then. If you can't throw it or any other off-speed pitch for a strike, you will get hammered.

Settled into the optimal length-tension relationship for HIS body structure.
That sounds better
should I lift my leg backwards(towards 2nd base) instead of straight up?
That depends. Realize that it isn't about the leg as much as it is the angle of the pelvis. In other words a coiled pelvis will force the knee to point back further towards 2B during the leg lift.

Can you make a video for infielders
This is terrific material, but...doesn't Glasnow have a lifetime record of 15-18 with a 4.43 ERA? Wasn't he 0-2 in the 2020 World Series with a 9.64 ERA and 9 walks in 9.1 innings? This video tells us what he is doing right but what is he doing wrong?
Just watch his games and you’ll see how dominant he is
@@CalebAlkema He is to be congratulated for the fine year he is having now. But with the numbers he put up previously he certainly was an underachiever. I'd like to see a video explaining the changes he made this season.
I can't find an open side look at Glasnow's delivery.
Jesus loves u and thanks for the great content
Speaking of arm path, who remembers Russ Ortiz? As Mike Krukow would say, he could have pitched out of a phone booth.
