Stop Overthrowing Before Games: Here’s What to Do Instead One of the biggest mistakes I see pitchers make is overthrowing before a game. They think they need to throw a ton just to “get loose.” But here’s the truth: You don’t need more throws—you need better prep. ⸻ ✅ The Smarter Way to Warm Up: 1️⃣ Start with a Dynamic Warmup •Use multi-directional movements to activate your joints •Open up mobility in your hips, spine, and shoulders •Get your blood flowing and CNS firing before you ever pick up a ball 2️⃣ Follow with Movement-Specific Drills •Grab a med ball or baseball •Hit key movements like separation throws, trunk activation drills, and linear/lateral progressions •Reinforce your elite pitching mechanics before game time 3️⃣ Minimal Throwing, Maximum Results •Once your body is activated and primed, you’ll find you only need a few quality throws to be game ready •That means more bullets for the game and less wear and tear on your arm ⸻ Work smarter, not harder. Train the body, not just the arm. You’ll be more explosive, more consistent, and way healthier over the long haul. Want the full warm-up & pre-game system?

How Many Pitches Do You Throw in Your Bullpen? Are you doing 50 pitches? Remember, a light day should be around 15 pitches, and a normal day should be 25-30 if you're pitching in a game that week. Protect that arm and keep it healthy! #PitchingSmart #ArmCare #BullpenWork

Congrats to Alberto Lopez for hitting a PR at 93mph in his 3X Separation Drill. This ties the record at TopV. #pitchingvelocity #topvelocity #pitchingprogram #pitchingsmart #getdrafted
