What's up guys Coach Madden
yougoprobaseball.com here with Brent

Pourciau Top Velocity we're in his house
right now and in fact I made a video a

while ago called the nine pitching
velocity killers and then Brent came

like a little bit later maybe what how
many was it ten maybe was yeah I'm only

going on one out of you man
so he made ten pitching velocity killers

both great videos yeah but then you were
like I'm coming back at you yeah I said

I'm doing 11 velocity killers you jerk
but this video right here we're gonna

talk about pitching velocity leaks where
guys are leaking their velocity and

we're gonna make this a little bit fun
we're gonna have a competition I'm gonna

give you one leak he's gonna give you a
one leak we haven't talked about this we

don't even know what we're gonna talk
about we're just kind of Seuss please

stop yelling right now but in all
seriousness this is gonna be some good

stuff because at the end of the day if
you're if you're creating energy and

then losing it you're not getting as
much as you can out of your kinetic

chain and that's what we're trying to do
as pitchers we're trying to create

energy from the ground transfer through
our kinetic chain and get it out through

the ball and remember this could go into
mindset this could go into what you ate

I mean we could be here for a long time
so do we want to stick with mechanics on

all right Brent's gonna win this let me
start with the first pitching velocity

leak and the first thing that I see and
the probably the biggest one that I see

is the front leg you might in my opinion
I see so many guys when they land

they're leaking out forward this way or
out this way they're getting too much

rotational energy in there and they're
kind of leaking out that way so that's

the biggest thing that I see as far as
the leak goes for me when I see that I

like to work on and I want you to
elaborate on this before you get into

your league too but what I see with that
is it's either a lack of obviously how

we're using our rotational and linear
energy one could be a strength issue not

strong enough to brace up or mobility
issues so those are the three things

yeah can you elaborate on that
no I mean I think you nailed it I think

it's I mean one thing I would probably
say even more than strength issue it's a

power issue because it's strength just
says you can you can hold a force it

doesn't see how quickly you can hold a
force and we know in the front foot

lands you got point one point two
seconds and you can't have any

any movement because studies show high
velocity pitchers don't have any lead

any movement so you got to catch it
immediately and that's power so now

there's a time to when you create your
force and that that's what power means

means or what they call rate of force
development how quickly do you turn that

force on and you see a lot of guys who
are when they get in here and they brace

up that knee comes back it tracks back
and they go this way but you don't have

to be straight do you know at the end of
the day it's just it's it's just getting

energy of the ball and of course you got
to create it and that has to do with you

creating it and it has a high
correlation of velocity the more you can

extend it but it just it's how hard you
want throw yeah I mean you have to say

if I did get more extension before
release I would have thrown harder

because that's what the studies show
okay what do you got number two oh I'm

gonna go back leg so you know we get
this a lot when guys come to the leg

lifts and they start moving they
collapse that leg right they collapse so

like why is that a problem collapsing
the leg is because the legs stay strong

in external tation think about when you
squat we squat here nobody squats like

that right so let your wattage in
CrossFit fails on anything so that if we

go here then we anti rotate we lose
stability I'm not stable here and then

we just we collapse and then we try to
overcompensate so that's a big one

collapsing back leg is huge okay now let
me ask you this and you can elaborate on

this I would I talked about as far as
back leg goes I think differs a little

bit from what how you speak about it for
me I call it the angled corkscrew so I

actually do want to be inside of my back
foot slightly and I think that you have

to have good hip mobility to do this to
create that I don't want to collapse it

I want to create that angle and then
kind of corkscrew out spurt the foot

towards you yeah so what I was just
saying is you're right I don't

you'd be in 20 rotated it is better to
be externally rotated but yeah you can

keep it inside your knee you just need
to be exercising rotate so that is a

good point
awesome awesome this so this would be

number three right pitching velocity
leak number three what I see is guys who

lose their energy with their upper body
so they leak out energy this way they

don't block off okay and I'm interested
to hear your thoughts on this because I

don't think I've ever seen a video where
you talk about this I'm sure there is

one I just haven't seen it what I what I
like to teach my guys is when they

separate to be 45 degrees closed off for
more this way with their arms but then

when they unwind they want to block that
energy off so they can get finished more

linear this way if you've got a guy who
just spins out and flies out the way I

like to think about that is all your
energy is going this way it's almost

like you're running if you were running
with a flag if I'm running this way with

a flag the flag is gonna be going that
way if I'm pulling all my energy out

this way all my energy is gonna go this
way my arms gonna fly out and I'm gonna

be leaking my energy that way that's a
great one glove side is a key one

studies show that low velocity pitchers
have more left to right movement with

their glove sides high velocity pitchers
are more they just turn it over

typically and and then it the energy is
really coming from somewhere else so

you're right if you're using this to
create injury in their energy it's

usually rotational energy and it's
flying it off and taking your energy

somewhere else that's a huge one really
good one you're up no more so here we go

I'm gonna talk about that the posture
let's talk about posture and head in the

head position right so if either way if
my head gets too far this way my head

gets too far that way if my head gets
too far this way if I head gets too far

that way it kind of goes along with what
John's talking about leaking or pulling

across your body this is your posture
this is the balance of where you are so

I have to really keep this over my mike
my trunk over my hips and like like the

whip all moving balanced towards the
target and once I let this head go here

where do you think my Energy's going you
know that election that's why you see

sidearm pitchers they start moving like
a regular pitcher and then their head

starts doing that and that's where we go
i'm--you're where if I start leaning

this way then you know that I'm flying
off this way or if I want to start early

and then everything transfers early so
to me the head the posture is huge to

prevent a big loss energy and in all
directions I always say the best place

it needs to be is just behind your front
hip so just behind it not all the way

back here because that could slow me
down right or not in front of it not

over my my belt buckle
not over my but just int balance just

behind my front hip and then it's all
about riding all that energy towards the

target at the end of the day we're
athletes we should be athletes we need
