In the MLB segment, Joe brings up an MLB pitcher who is currently suffering from serious location problems. We discuss ways to troubleshoot this issue.

In the Teaching Moment, I talk about three very common lower body issues that can affect the pitching motion in a way that can interfere with a pitcher finding his max velocity.

And in The Pearls segment, I discuss a text I received from a coach talking about mound work vs. flat ground work for pitchers in-between starts.

Joe and I kick off our first episode of Season Six with three exciting segments:

In our first segment, Joe and I talk about some of the rule changes in the MLB.

In The Teaching Moment, I talk about "The Defining Moment in a Pitcher's Delivery". It's a discussion about the last sequence of trunk rotation in a pitcher's delivery, prior to acceleration. Using a great photo, I talk about how to see the critical features when you are reviewing film. Click Here for Teaching Moment Video

And in our new last segment "Pearls", I once again visit the danger of trying to add speed or power to a part of the motion (particularly the stride) without an understanding of the purpose of all the phases and the implications. You will learn about the intent of each phase, where to apply the most power, and how to avoid "training" mistakes.

From increasing the distance of the mound to the plate to an epidemic of timing problems, Angel and Joe close out their fifth season with a great discussion of these two topics.

The MLB is currently experimenting with moving the pitching mound back. Angel weighs in on the effect she thinks it will have on the pitchers...and you may be surprised to hear her take on it.

And as a troubleshooter for the pitching motion, Angel has noticed an increasing epidemic of timing issues. She discusses why she thinks this is a prevalent issue and what coaches need to be aware of in terms of not only its effect on a pitcher's acceleration and location but also when making decisions about training methods for pitchers with this problem.

From how to work technically to using an innings format, Angel talks about the critical importance of making every bullpen count with tips on how to use it effectively and how to avoid some of the biggest mistakes she sees.

And in a Troubleshooting segment, Angel answers a coach’s question about the rear leg. You will learn about its role, its importance, and some of the most common errors that can affect the pitcher’s delivery.

In the “Coaching the Coaches” segment, Angel gives you the-how and the-why of these two actions which can either make or break a pitchers throwing and/or pitching motion. Included in the discussion are tips for ways you can work with your pitchers on the field during practice and flat-ground throwing to assess and correct these very important skills.

In the “All It Takes is All You Got” segment, you will hear about and see a critical exercise for pitchers that deals with the rotation phase of the pitching motion; i.e., when the pitcher transitions from his sideways-stride downhill to his facing-the-target position. This is quite possibly one of the most misunderstood skills in the pitching motion and during the explanation of the exercise, you will also learn and be able to understand this invaluable component of the motion. It ties in with the first segment and promises to deliver great information. Visit Angel Borrelli Pitching You on Tube Channel to watch as you learn.
