Want to throw harder in baseball? Coach Justin from Ultimate Baseball Training shares two awesome drills to help you improve your throwing velocity, whether you’re a pitcher, infielder, or outfielder. These drills focus on lower body mechanics and explosive movements to add power to your throws.
Key Drills to Increase Throwing Power
-
Backside Leg Hops: Start in a balanced position and hop forward three times on your back leg, leading with your front hip on the final hop before making a strong throw. This drill enhances lower body explosion and hip engagement.
-
Explosive Weight Transfers: Mimic the follow-through position after a throw, then rock back and forth, transferring your weight explosively forward as you throw. This drill promotes efficient weight transfer and maximizes throwing power.
Incorporating these drills into your regular throwing routine can lead to significant velocity improvements. Remember to focus on proper mechanics and explosive movements to get the most out of each drill.
