How do I throw faster while on the mound, pitching?

Since this question is asked at least 10 times a day, I would say that simply asking this question will increase your speed dramatically. Logically, it has to, because if any of our answers were correct, people would read the same question that was asked about 30 minutes earlier and get their answer from that question.

So, congratulations, you will now throw faster.

Well, to a bio mechanic standpoint, I'm not a simple amateur. I studied again and again videos over videos, web pages after web pages, read... to be short, months and months. Perhaps you have mechanical problems, so lets observe what makes mechanics work.

KEYS

When you do so, you realize similarities between pitchers that people tend to forgot or will never put aside as example of the same thing. Fro instance, think of Lincecum. He has a fluent, but violent delivery. Truly a unique piece in your head? Slow him down and sets him aside Koufax. You could see their almost exact arm action, very similar back bending and extremely long strides. Take Feller now. How does his motion used to start? He almost showed his back. Not as much as Tim L., but yet he does.

What I see is that what ever the way you do, you have to transform linear energy into rotation.

THE RUBBER EFFECT

There's something we call the "rubber effect". Many person might have said you to react to your stride, to make your body being like rubber. To make it simple, your back must act as the transfer point between legs and shoulder( and arm) and must do it so it forces forward momentum into rotational energy. Just watch some high speed video to figure out the back bending and moving almost like a wave to transfer it if you need a proof.

-THE BACK BENT

Every set up in a pitcher's motion have to be a reaction to a previous action or else being an action that forces the body into the right motion. So, if you need your body to behave like this, you have to insert something between the push and the arm movement to make your back act like it should. How? It is so stupid, but yet it gets you so much power: point the sky with your glove as you push forward. Many person don't see why they are doing this, perhaps even them don't know. It forces your body into a precise pivot point which make the arm action enter later and flexes your back.

-THE STRIDE

Further, an other point this extraordinary leg push. Lincecum ( you see, I like his example) has the greatest stride of all MLB and it's why I present it to you . He strides for nothing less than 120% of total body length on the full wind-up. It makes 88 inches...for a 5'11'' and 170pounds pitcher, not bad.

Why to get this? It is a bit complicated. I'll take other sports so you can figure out quicker. In badminton, everything is based onto whips and rebound actions. The contact time is short. But, the power stay high as the projectile is light. Making a follow through would stupid for many strokes. In baseball, we see the opposite, why? The weight of the projectile.

Either the appliance time or the torque applied shall be raised to improve the speed.

In badminton, we can import enough power on a whipping action onto a slight moment due to the weight of shuttlecock. In baseball, the ball is heavier. We therefore have to apply the torque over a greater time. This is what allows a longer stride. But, you have to stay as fast and have the same timing as you had before giving length for this to be true.

What makes a great stride? Precision, timing and flexibility. For this one you just have to do it again and again. Make slower pitch try to go further in front. Practise the technic before getting back onto the mound and you'll see.

TRUST YOURSELF AND GET IT BACK

You also have to feel the power. There are many other keys, but you need to do it slower and get the feel back to do it right.

You may get nervous or change your mind set which can be a problem.

You also may be expelling too much energy while warming up. Think about only throwing about 70-85% during your warm-up pitches.

You also may not be in good enough condition and you may fatigue easily. Maybe you should run some sprints and some miles more often to get in better shape.

the problem is probably you not pushing off the mound. you might be becoming too focused on simply throwing hard and not worrying about the mechanics. next time you pitch, try pushing off the mound more. it works for me.

yee thats how fast i pitch lol, but just push yourself off the rubber.

make sure your leg kick is balanced,and that your're not letting your back leg collapse

just dig a hole by the rubber and push your backfoot off and you will pitch harder
