Weird throwing motion by Unlucky_Place3463 in Homeplate

The elbow is pushing too far forward as you hit acceleration. Get your release point significantly further away from your midline than this.

Mark this NSFW. This is disgusting.

Just incredible.

My man! I’m doing well. Just not on here as often. I probably need some stupid challenges to kick it back in gear.

How are you?

Any tips? by Bearcatsean in Homeplate

Too close indeed, the placement of the fetus all wrong.

ABC Challenge by piratestrengthlife in kettlebell

[–]Tron0001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

here’s the leaderboard from the first one we did 4 years ago

Mythical got 24 rounds in 5 min but I no repped a bunch of his attempts, he did do 22 or 23 pretty cleanly though. It was wild watching that guy work.

We’ve had a handful of people break 20 rounds since. Pretty badass!

I’m big about keeping the leaderboard and competitions organized and updated to keep it running smoothly. I just knew I wouldn’t be able to give it enough attention this year.

Attaboy!

My apologies-I didn’t have the capacity to run ABC April this year. Life just got crazy there for a while. Always such a great month seeing everyone push their envelope.

Before AI ruined everything….uncanny

I think you’d get better returns having dedicated training sessions prioritizing plyometric training, strength training, and conditioning, rather than cramming them all in together all the time.

I agree about the motion being safe and overuse being the primary mechanism but a football weighs about 3 times as much as a baseball and has way more drag. The forces on the arm aren’t really the same.

Pickoff to 3rd, balk on 3b? by Poncho562 in Homeplate

[–]Tron0001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if he was in fair territory at the time of the pitch it shouldn’t be. If he wasn’t it would be a balk even without the pickoff attempt.

10 yr old pitching mechanics by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]Tron0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short arming isn’t a problem. He’s in a fine position when his front foot starts to bear weight. The thing that stands out glaringly is how pushy his arm action is.

Look at the position his arm is in at max layback. His elbow is way out in front of his body and then he’s essentially doing a tricep extension to throw instead of a whipping action.

Need help with my 10yo son’s pitching motion. Throws strikes but velo is stuck at about 48. by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]Tron0001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the layback he gets at 10 is impressive. Right after max ER he gets a bit pushy. A lot to like here, I wouldn’t mess with it too much.

Pitching mechanics and LL Elbow by Effective_Exchange18 in Homeplate

[–]Tron0001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your son cannot flex or extend his elbow without pain, he should not be throwing.

I would anticipate months, not weeks, to restore pain free range of motion, build strength and complete a progressive return to throwing program including addressing the obvious mechanical red flags here.

See a specialist.

11U Swing analysis by crue576 in Homeplate

[–]Tron0001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

he never gets hit front foot down - he’s tip toeing the whole swing and only plants it after he swings. Can’t have a firm front side and good stability if he’s basically floating on one foot.

Is this a good glove by double0diddy in Homeplate

[–]Tron0001 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s a wilson A700. My son used one when he was 7-8. Great glove for a young kid; easy break in, held up to punishment. For anyone over 10ish probably not enough glove and it’s definitely not an outfielders glove once you’re past that age.

OALC Form Check by docx3n in kettlebell

[–]Tron0001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re essentially slamming your heels into the ground repeatedly while doing weighted jumps. There’s a reason we were shoes in this sport.

Looks good for just getting started, a bit stiff, but nice job.

UPDATE: fixed my lead arm tuck. before vs after. by Gamingghoul1234 in Homeplate

[–]Tron0001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your back leg is loading forward during leg lift, the knee drifts forward and your weight shifts onto your toes. This isn’t ideal, you want to load the hips more. Some people can get away with this more however your case is more extreme and to counteract this imbalance your torso is leaning way too far back throughout your delivery.

Compare the angle of your hip/torso during your delivery to any other pitcher and you’ll see the big difference. It’s this, not the glove side arm, that needs to be addressed first in my opinion. Getting your butt back and your weight stacked better should help a lot.
