This is one of the most common (and misunderstood) questions for youth pitchers. This video breaks down: - Why “throw every day” isn’t always the answer - How age, workload, and intent matter - The difference between throwing, training, and competing - How to protect arm health while still developing velocity and command - If you’re a player or parent trying to balance development vs. durability, this is a must-watch. 👇 After watching, drop a comment:How many days per week are you currently throwing?

Many youth pitchers struggle not because they lack effort — but because they’re focusing on the wrong things. In this video, Jordan breaks down the biggest mistakes he consistently sees in youth pitchers and explains why fixing the right issues first matters for both performance and arm health. Watch this before trying to change anything in your training. 👉 After watching, comment below:• Age of the athlete• Current level• Biggest challenge right now This helps guide what to focus on next inside the Velocity Lab.

If I had to pick ONE thing that separates guys who throw harder and stay healthy… it’s this: Efficient energy transfer (Sequence) Pitching is basically building momentum and then stacking it in the right order. The best pitchers don’t “arm” the ball. They use the whole body to create force, then the arm just delivers it. The order matters: 1. Move down the mound (momentum) 2. Hips lead 3. Torso follows 4. Arm whips last 5. Finish stable and athletic When that sequence is right, you usually get: -more velocity without forcing it -better command (less “spray”) - less stress on the arm/shoulder - cleaner timing Quick self-check If a pitcher looks like they’re: - rushing with the shoulders - landing and yanking open - throwing only with the arm …that’s usually a sequence problem, not a “grip it and rip it” problem. Your cue for this week “Hips go first. Arm goes last.” Try that on throws, plyos, and catch play.

Simple Cue-Want better strikes fast? Focus on finishing over your front leg (not spinning off). Do you miss arm-side or glove-side more?
