Most pitchers chase velocity by tweaking mechanics, copying drills, or grinding more throws. I take a different route: I start with the foundation. In this Velocity RX podcast, I give you a clear inside look at the Velocity RX Elite Pitching Program and explain why movement testing comes before any big mechanical change. When the body cannot squat, hinge, rotate, or stabilize on one leg, the “perfect cue” on the mound falls apart and the arm pays for it.

I walk through my GAME test (Graded Active Movement Exam) and the specific screens I lean on for baseball pitchers, including shoulder coordination, scapular control, and the patterns that predict lost range of motion and future pain. We talk candidly about why so many athletes struggle with basic athletic movement today, how that shows up as preventable shoulder and elbow issues, and why rehab after Tommy John surgery can stall when something important gets missed. If you are still dealing with pain months after returning to throwing, you will hear exactly how my Mound Ready process looks for the real “why” and then fixes it.

From there, I explain how we use OnForm video analysis to review tests and mechanics frame by frame, how corrective exercises fit into your routine without wasting time, and why I teach pitching “backwards” by mastering the finish and front-foot strike before piling on more. We end with the four outcomes I want every pitcher to earn over six months: a more bulletproof arm, blindfold command built on feel, a real velocity increase, and pitch correctability so you can miss a spot, know why, and fix it on the next pitch.
