How to gain velocity on fastball (Jesus Lifters)

[TravelBallFan510]

9 yr old from California was just rated #1 9 yr old in the country. Awesome mechanics and velocity. A must see search ( Justis Daily ). Thought I would share with you guys. I saw this kid at Big League Dreams when he was 8 and was unbelievable!

i'll give it to you. you don't mention core strength, for which this looks like it might do some good

[kingcoach13]

BAD.just because you say it doesn't prove your FB gets faster.there are much better exercises that will build core strength.using weights is good,but when do you ever throw the ball straight into the ground?do exercises that flex your core..your FB speed is what it is.to make it faster takes supreme effort.best to learn to push your leg off the rubber hard as you can in order to get your body in motion faster to the plate might add 2-3 extra mph.other than that,you're as fast as you can be.

@kingcoach13 this exercise will strengthen the shoulders and muscles surrounding the rotator cuffs therefore may or may not increase velocity. one exercise will not but it will help when put with others

Why not do it in one motion?

[SuperXxron]

that teaches me nuntin DX

[RawlingsZach]

how much velocity will i gain if i do this for , say 4 weeks?

[ben123462]

@RawlingsZach probably around 58 kbm

[RawlingsZach]

@ben123462 what is a kbm?

[jttkl5]

is there any proof of this working?

[punkrock300]

how much do the ball weight ?
