This means that a properly structured training period following an assessment and on-ramping program can really lead you down the right path of velocity development. In my training facility, we have taken radar readings on hundreds of pitchers and we've found that velocity is very consistent across different release angles. Plyometrics, weight lifting, long toss, and stretching are great exercises for pitchers and help improve velocity and athleticism. The pitcher should arc the pitch high into the air with proper mechanics. Dr. Fleisig also looked at the forces observed on the body in the above mentioned study.
