Kyle Roelfsema Pitching Mechanics Video1

[andros1984]

I'm have yet to be born and I can throw a medicine ball 41,000 mph.

Stride more

[MrJmb2]

Your right foot is hitting the groung to late causing your pitching arm to not reach full velocity because your hips arent getting enough rotation with both feet planted which carries up through your shoulders.

[lNoxtam]

Work on hip and shoulder separation

[neil77fergy]

by the way, nice music

[neil77fergy]

it looks like you're throwing pretty hard but your elbow drops down on a few pitches.

[KillaCamBaby]

slow

[hairbandfan]

Looks good except your arm is dragging on a few of them.

[aarbear20two]

agreed.

[9joester9]

lol my humps

[McBright44]

be honest how hard do u throw and what grade are u in?

[Taekwonboxer]

Wow I just came off the same tear, but in my right shoulder. It kind of looks like your forcing it and dropping your shoulder. Understandable though, considering the compensation from lack of strength/confidence from time off.

Keep it up!

thanks for posting this. I used it as reference for an animation I did.

[NOHITR10]

hey killer... I understand that you just got off an injury, but when you get on the mound don't just throw. Take your time and concentrate. Relax your throwing arm and make it like a slingshot. This will reduce the tension that builds up on your shoulder and it will increase velocity. Also to increase velocity, Do not raise your knee and drop it and then go to the plate. Raise your knee and go from point a to point b. Knee comes up and goes directly to the plate. keep working hard.

if you wanna comment on a pitcher who throws fast and his mechanics type dellin betances then go to richardhernandez profile then click on the pitching video comment on how he throws

[amerikanerMarinen]

we had a guy named roelfsema on our farm league team, the danville braves.

odd?

you're quite great though.

keep up the work

[ESQUESUD]

good man... the great pitcher !! congratulations

[raylreyesf]

you were not landing properly at the time with your right foot

[bostonredsock]

does anyone know where to get any nike baseball turf shoes please respond

[tribilin2008]

Keep your glove up in front of you...the chest comes to the glove...that's why your head is going to the side. You have no "drag" line...visit the national Pitching Association's website for some good information. Without a frame-by-frame video it's difficult to tell what else may need looking at. Good luck!

[morelock1616]

i think that if your glove position is alittle lower in your balance position it would be easier for arm to get were it needs to be. it seems like your arm has to rush to the top of the release. i dont know your profile but that could be cause for injury. just maybe try it once and see how it goes

[HolyCigaro]

Dude I understand your coming back from a injury and velocity will regain itself but you look really slow. Right know I throw off a lower mound and Im probably younger and right know i might be able to hit 80, not to have a high ego or nething, I just turned 15 but I know ur injuried and thank god, knock on wood, this doesnt happen to me. Srry it had to happen.

[farmsid]

I could get you at least 5 mph more! You have 3 minor adjustments to make. email me at farmsid@hotmail

[Bakersdozen95]

You're mechanics looks like an imperfect Billy Wagner.

[usmoke2006]

furgee ur a moron his left arm shood go all the way back so that it travels more distance gains more velocity and it is hidden longer if its behind ur back

[mdbaseball11]

hey i had the same exact thing happen to me... im also a lefty i tore my laberum and i missed the entire season... how did you recover... good luck

[ccsbaseball7]

hey how did you tear it?

[bigswanger281]

i hope u have sum pretty good "off-speed" "breaking ball" pitches bcuz ur fastball doesn't have a lot of velocity/

[fernandobaseball]

EVERYONE IS A FUCKING EXPERT NOW!!!! IGNORE THOSE CHUMPS THEY KNOW NOTHING.Keep on working hard, good luck with your pitching

[nelsonjr28]

I agree with "fernadobaseball" Leave the kid alone he is only 14 he should be working harder using explosive training and velocity is a matter of time!!

[furgee]

If I may make one suggestion. When you come set dont bring your left arm all the way down. bring it straight back (much like a catcher throwing out a runner) it will hide your pitch longer as well as save your strength so you can pitch longer.

[Ares14]

Bring your release point down.

[case209]

pretty good, just one thing, try lifting your right elbow (lead arm) higher, that way u get more torque which creates more power

[TexasTechFan]

You have some bad lower body power. You need to work on your torque.

[trempolik]

you say you are fourteen? no fuckin way

[PackersBearsFan3]

Well, to help boost your velocity, move faster while leading with your front hip. You could be moving so much faster (ala Sandy Koufax, Tim Lincecum), both who strode out well over 100 (even 110+ [Lincecum is 123%] of their height), so work on that.

[Hellshow]

NO u dont. You throw mid, maybe high 70's. Im in the WCAL, the hardest baseball league west of the mississippi, and im batting over 430. I also throw low to mid 80's (82-84), I dont really pitch though. I used to throw harder but I hurt my arm.

[neeflez]

"west of the mississippi" hahahhaha i got a kick out of that

[nelsonjr28]

u have great mechanics just try to explode harder to the plate hip rotation work on core excersice

[dgentile83]

you need to work on your velocity....

[STITZZZ]

your grenading it a little but overall it looks pretty good man

[WarAdmiral5]

you seem like your falling off when you throwing, center your upper body more.

[160kph]

i throw mid 80s an im 14

[idiotmanhead]

haha sure you do. What you think you're the next Robert Stock? there's no way you're throwing mid 80s at 14

[TAJLTDB]

Where are you going to school

[russ2120]

try keeping your arm back a little bit longer. get your body through the zone first. you'll release it stronger and closer to the plate.

[y0y0blackk]

i think you should keeep your right leg closer to your body when you make your leg kick

[y0y0blackk]

how hard do you throw?

[rolse3]

I'm recovering from a surgery I had last christmas. right now I'm throwing low mid 70's (72-74; I was throwing mid 80's before I was Injured
