5 Tips To Build Rotational Power For Pitching Velocity Pt 2
Building upper body strength is just as important for baseball pitchers as lower body strength. To maximize rotational power, it’s essential to strengthen the muscles responsible for helping develop freakish levels of rotational power. Core training can help you maintain good posture while throwing and help you generate more power when transferring energy from the ground into your trunk. Additionally, incorporating specific pressing and pulling exercises into your workout routine will help build strong shoulders, arms, chest, lats and back that are necessary for generating rotational velocity in pitching. With a combination of proper form, exercise selection, rep range, intensity levels, rest periods, and frequency of workouts tailored to your individual needs – you can make sure that all aspects of physical performance are addressed to reach peak throwing velocities on the mound.
“Twenty-two college baseball players participated in a study designed to examine the effect of upper body strength training on the velocity of a thrown baseball. The treatment group received 8 weeks of strength training while the control group received no training during the fall portion of the preseason. Throwing velocity was measured for 19 players using a radar gun. Differences in mean throwing velocity were calculated for both groups, and overall significance (p 0.05) for the interaction of group means was found. Post hoc analysis showed a significantly higher mean throwing velocity for the training group following 8 weeks of strength training. The implication is that college baseball players can improve throwing velocity via a structured strength training program.” (6)
