  1. When looking at back foot placement, do you guys care at all if the foot is “hooking” the rubber or not? Would that most likely lead to a more quad dominant pushing action due to much of the weight being on the wrong side of the foot?

  2. Good stuff…great explanation. How much does hand separation start the pelvic movement? In other words…I have found that the earlier my pitchers separate their hands the less pelvic action they get…less coil…less linear movement…early opening of hips at landing. Thoughts? Lastly…what is the software you are using…might have to look into it. I appreciate your comments and knowledge.

  3. His arm action is much different with the Rays. It would appear that this longer arm swing would add velocity and natural timing to his mechanics. While he obviously has great mechanics, it didn't seem to help his location on his off-speed pitches in the World Series. Even at 100 mph, he got blasted several times. If you can't throw sliders for strikes, the batters pick up on that, so you are a sitting duck.

  4. What are your credentials? Do you have a degree in physiology? Biomechanics? Is the list of possible mechanics improvements a universal one? Is there more than one viewpoint when it comes to mechanics improvements? Do you hold the same views as Lance Wheeler?

  5. Surely his longer arm action is having a positive effect on his velocity? What are the usual gains in velocity with your program? How many of your clients are now 95 and better?

  6. This is terrific material, but…doesn't Glasnow have a lifetime record of 15-18 with a 4.43 ERA? Wasn't he 0-2 in the 2020 World Series with a 9.64 ERA and 9 walks in 9.1 innings? This video tells us what he is doing right but what is he doing wrong?

  7. Absolutely love this….great stuff. My son can’t wait to work with you guys in person this summer.

  8. This stuff is so rad. I wish that kind of thing had been available several years ago when I was coming through college and working hard to improve my mechanics!

  9. I saw an interview where he said before he was conscious about how long his arm path was because their so long but now he doesn’t think about it and let’s it move naturally

  10. great video. the hand break change and arm swing are obvious. breaking the hands at the hip (really old school) may help with balance and allow him to ride the mound. really good stuff.

  11. Excellent. Description of the biomechanics, adjustments that add up very small which, when applied, generate energy that will be transformed into speed, which is what Tyler achieved, increasing miles. Thanks

  12. Speaking of arm path, who remembers Russ Ortiz? As Mike Krukow would say, he could have pitched out of a phone booth.

  13. ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND REPENT JESUS LOVES YOU HE DIED FOR YOU SO YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS AND REPENT!🙏🙏 🙏 AMEN!!!!!!!
