Justin Verlander, a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers Major League Baseball (MBA) team gives high school and college (NCAA) athletes advice on throwing no hitters. ?The Overhead Med-Ball Throw is really just a modification to a lot of power lifting exercises, Olympic lifting exercises that you know, maybe football players would do but you know, essentially its just to improve explosive power through the hips and its just using some resistance, and its speed and exposedness, we are looking for a fast direct, so its not heavy, heavy weight. It?s a lighter weight that you can move very, very quickly. And you just throw it up, we try to go straight up and the ball would naturally just threw them in any direction that it?s going where its not going behind you but in nowhere we try to throw it far back behind as more straight up and then you better look up and get out of the way. But you want to get straight up and get your hips, your knees, and your ankles all extending at the same time and driving through the ground. The power throws, I like that because you really incorporate you whole body in that you know, especially your legs and your core, you know living up your body it was for me legs and core are the two great things there are and that exercise is really harsh on those. For those power movements, to those speedy, speedy explosive movements where usually do about six or up.?

  • if JV isn't on a video game cover in the next two years than somethings messed up in the world

  • Verlander is the best MLB pitcher. 5 outs away from another no-hitter tonight. He will have 3-4 more in his career (at-least 1-2 perfect games).

  • best pitcher in mlb (in my opinion)

  • This guy is insanely good. Threw his second no-no today against the Jays...one pitch from a perfect game. Something tells me, if his arm holds out, there will be more no-hitters in his career. Wow!

  • @11kissfan1 Verlander is probably loaded with so much hot juice, I wouldn't want to face him even in batting practice. He'll kill you with one pitch!

  • he is cooolllllllllllllllllllllllll yeah naruto uzimake sasuke is not cool

  • tremendous respect for this guy with how hard he trains

  • Verlander is pitching today against Tampa. Go, Justin, go! Love you!

  • v-lander rocks! :P

  • Me too.
