Pitching Instruction

We provide individual pitching training as well as team pitching training

At the Farm System, we have a distinctive approach to teaching pitching, which is based on the belief that every pitcher has their own unique strengths and styles. We acknowledge that no two pitchers are alike, and thus, we do not believe in teaching every pitcher to throw the same way.

Our dedicated staff focuses on developing individualized pitching techniques that prioritize safe, efficient, and effective delivery.

Our approach emphasizes a holistic method that focuses on maximizing velocity, control, and movement. We teach our pitchers to engage their entire body when delivering a pitch, creating a synergistic delivery that optimizes their results on the field. By utilizing the full range of motion and power from their legs, core, and arm, our pitchers can generate greater speed and accuracy while reducing stress and strain on their arms.

We prioritize the development of each pitcher's unique skills in a way that promotes effective and safe overall pitching mechanics. Our approach embraces individuality and focuses on integrating the entire body to help each pitcher reach their full potential while minimizing the risk of injuries.

Here are some of the things we will focus on during our baseball pitching lesson:

Pitching Mechanics

The work's core is to teach and repeat proper pitching mechanics. Learning the proper movements to generate through the legs and maximize the force behind the baseball.

Body Synchronization

Our main focus is to synchronize what the upper half is doing with what the bottom half is doing. Only then will we be able to utilize the full force of the windup.

Pitching Mechanics

Work with Someone Who Understands the intricacies of Pitching Mechanics.

Pitching Mechanics

1. Hip and Shoulder Separation

Developing the ability to separate the hip and shoulder is critical. This skill aids in landing in a more closed position, transferring force from the legs to the arm and, ultimately, to the ball. While mobility of the hips and spine is crucial for developing separation, core stability is equally essential for controlling mobility. Some young people have no trouble achieving separation but struggle with core control.

Pitching Mechanics

2. Linear and Rotational Power

To enhance the performance of baseball pitchers, it is crucial to focus on developing their linear and rotational power. While the body has inherent strength while moving forward and back, it is comparatively weaker when moving sideways and rotationally. Therefore, developing linear and rotational power through proper training techniques is crucial.

Pitching Mechanics

3. Lower Body Drive

Once proper trunk separation is established and the linear and rotational power of the lower half and core are developed, the focus can shift towards developing lower body drive and intent while pitching down the mound. This process will naturally increase stride length and help with landing in a more closed position. It's surprising how many young baseball pitchers rely solely on their arms and neglect their lower half.

Frequently Asks Questions

What to Expect during our
Pitching Lessons

  • What should I bring for my pitching lesson?

    Pitchers should bring a hat, glove, flat-bottomed athletic shoes and cleats for pitching. It's important to bring plenty of water to stay hydrated.

  • How long does a typical pitching lesson last?

    Our pitching lessons last one hour and may extend slightly for post-session exercises.

  • Will I receive any exercises or drills to work on afterward?

    As a part of their training, each athlete will receive specific exercises and pitching drills that they can practice independently.

  • Does My Child Really Need a Pitching Coach?

    Pitchers, no matter how talented they are, require coaches to support them. Pitching coaches can help with pitch design, identify mechanical issues, and provide mental preparation for game day.

     

    Elite velocity and command in the big leagues are developed through years of instruction, allowing pitchers to understand their bodies and optimize their athleticism. This understanding leads to increased velocity, the ability to command multiple pitches for strikes, and overall better performance.

     

    While physical ability is undoubtedly essential, taking pitching lessons from an expert coach can help you develop a strategy that plays to your strengths. If you aspire to become a top-notch pitcher, receiving professional guidance and training is crucial.

  • Do you provide a customized and individualized pitching program?

    Our pitching programs are customized to match an athlete's current needs, physical abilities, and athletic capability.

  • Can you help improve my pitching velocity? 

    Our focus is on the development of the entire athlete by improving their endurance, strength, speed, and athleticism. By improving the athlete's overall physical abilities and instilling proper mechanics, we promote a healthy approach to throwing the ball, resulting in higher velocity.

  • Do you teach you how to throw different pitches effectively and move the ball?

    In today's environment, developing a diverse pitch repertoire with different ball movements such as 4-seam, 2-seam, change-up, curveball, cutter, or slider is crucial for pitchers. Therefore, it should be an essential aspect of every pitching program.

  • Do you teach pitchers how to take care of their arms?

    We have implemented a comprehensive arm care program for our pitchers. It emphasizes proper pre-throwing and post-throwing arm care techniques to ensure their optimal health.

  • Can parents watch the sessions?

    Of course, parents are more than welcome to attend the sessions. However, in order to ensure a smooth process for everyone involved, we kindly ask that you refrain from entering the work areas and engaging with the instructors during the session. After the session, we would be more than happy to schedule a time to discuss your young athlete's strengths, weaknesses, and development.

Our Pitching Philosophy

Perform at the peak of their natural potential

Whether you're a player or the parent of a player, you understand that the level of competition in the game of baseball is increasing day by day. Many have dreams to make it to the next level, but in reality, only a few know the sacrifice and hard work it takes.


Here's the problem...


Unfortunately, it has become way too common that a player is presented the opportunity to compete but struggles compared to the competition. This mainly occurs because they weren't prepared with the right training, development, nor mindset to win. And as a result of this, players could feel as if they are not good enough, which then creates a limiting mindset that holds them back from reaching their full potential.


Now here's the truth...


A player's development is a progressive journey, but they deserve to have the tools, resources, and training that takes them to always perform at the peak of their natural potential!


The Farm System provides professional training and development that gives you the skill set to stand out and the mindset to succeed.
