Wow! This is a phenomenal breakdown. You definitely know what you are talking about and do a good job explaining everything. Chase is a freak and am excited to see what his future is going to hold!
As a former minor league player and JUCO All American, I once had a coach who played with HOF pitcher Nolan Ryan as a catcher and he shared with me how so much of his power came from his solid leg base. This is just another proof of how the game is getting faster bigger and stronger with god-given bodies as these young and gifted talents rise to the top of the game. EXCELLENT breakdown Tread Athletics!
Weight training was not so previlent back in the 70's when I played due to the belief that the larger chest mass would restrict hitters in their follow-through but as we can see, another myth has been disproven! Play ball for love of the game first, and get better at something everyday!
@@nofurtherwest3474 BTW. I remember watching Senators pitcher and pitching coach Dick Such (Rangers, Twins) run WITH all of the pitchers AFTER spring training workouts. He practiced what he preached!
I started baseball when I was 26, I'm 29 now turning 30 and have just started pitching! I am making huge improvements weekly so all those coaches who say you can't get better at an older age is wrong. watch me get to throw 90+ by the end of the year
I started baseball around 2nd grade and played my entire life, even worked in-depth on pitching with Matt Whiteside and was on a perfect track until my arm went bad around age 16. Got TJ surgery and haven't thrown anything since. 26 now and I am athletically faster, stronger, and I throw the ball WAY harder than I did back then. Age definitely doesn't play a factor unless you get lax/lazy with training.
It's definately really important but you also have to have a cannon to. Throwing 100 mph is obv elite and you have to have a mix of god given genetics and technique/work ethic
Just play other sports - football or soccer or basketball or track and your legs will get stronger and you'll have more fun and build cardio and other stuff vs just hitting the weight room. Most of the pros played multiple sports
A great breakdown of a shinning stars ability to deliver 100+ pitch. Thanks for explaining the physical needs to let his body to perform. Great video..
I'm an enthusiastic tennis player (former baseball player way back when) learning a lot about tennis serving from this video. Similar motions and mechanics
The slippage you refer to (roughly one inch) is due to his foot slipping in his shoe, socks in between two surfaces if ya catch my drift.... so you were close when you said shoes. Nice presentation!
Randy J. had a free mind, a free throw and free body movement. Unlocking, understanding and min maxing your unrestricted physical ability is key in physics based sports. In most cases training and coaching are seperate. Coaching is basically a waypoint. Training is a personal commitment to improvement through mental and physical min maxing. Repetition will set you free, muscle memory, eye hand coordination. Not thinking about the production of your desired end result, and simply manifesting it is what happens with great pitchers.
Talking about Walker Buehler. I think he is the best pitcher for a team to build around right now. Durable, young, consistant and great attitude and has electric stuff. Hard to find a complete package at 26 years old
He holds that chin tucked into that left sholder with the left elbow pointing at the 3rd baseman and his left butt cheek pointed at the catcher with that long stride and then explodes to the plate. Definitely core strength and glute strength are needed. When I was 12, 54 now, we didnt have this technology🤣, I remember kicking high, and holding my chin tucked for as long as I could and then explode and my chin when I delivered the ball would hit my left knee when I delivered and followed threw. I was 5'9" 165lbs throwing 90mph at 16-17 in the 80's. I was a runner, long distance, so i had the leg strength, but Definitely core and upper body strength lacked. This is good stuff. Wish I had this when I was a kid. Actually I think he could gain 1 to 3 mph if he would raise the arm slought and bend at the waist. Might save his forearm flexors.🤔
Quite amazing the power he can generate but that’s not the name of the game batters will be able to hit 100 but that’s just one pitch from his arm slot it is very easy to pick up the hand and release points. You can tell where and what pitch is coming because of how open he gets. Also from the stretch would be interesting because things significantly change mechanics wise and the high leg lift with the pelvic tilt he does would just have runners moving regardless of the velocity. Some things noticed not being all negative but time will fix some of these too and coaches of various experiences.
Excellent breakdown. I think that at the end of the day the mechanics can't explain why he throws 100. Rather he throws 100 and these are his mechanics. Otherwise any pitcher could adapt these mechanics and then throw just as hard?
No it def does explain why he throws so hard. You can’t really teach hip mobility you can improve it a bit but it’s something that he does naturally. I’d actually try to get him to stand taller he won’t throw as hard but it won’t put as much strain on his arm and will lower the risk of arm injury. And he will control his pitches better. 97 or 98 and putting it where ever you want is better than 101 and having no idea where it is is going.
The simple fact of “adapting” to his mechanics is what’s a flawed mindset. Everyone has different components in the body. Leg length, torso length, hip anatomy, bone structure. To obtain his mobility wouldn’t be a year thing
@@TheRoadLessChosen to a certain extent but there are guys that have abnormal flexion in that area that you cannot teach it’s just something those guys can do that you can’t no matter how hard you work to improve it
some of the greatest pitchers in the world from degrom, to pedro and even aroldis chapman didn't start pitching at 13. Pedro and degrom were shortstops and chapmen was a 1st basemen in cuba. mechanics can taught always be tweaked
It’s cool to throw 100+ mph but he need to have above secondary pitches to keep batters off balance this will give him more success and the reason behind this is MLB hitters can hit the heat .
For sure but look... if you throw 100, chances are all your stuff will be electric. 99% of guys throwing 100 can easily throw a 90-93 slider or an 85+ curveball.
I haven't ever used that with my guys but I could see it being potentially helpful for specific guys who get too long on the glove arm. It's one of those things that could go either way.

I genuinely shoot for 15-20 min videos and they just get out of hand because I realize I can't leave out certain facts to do the topic justice. Working on it!
Yeah he does - a lot more mobile version of Hicks! Probably not quite as developed yet as Hicks physically, which is scary. Hicks threw 96 or 97 in high school which shows you the potential Petty still has.
Buehlers mechanics are better than this guy. Does not look like he learned anything from the leiters his arm path looks nothing like either guys. His arm path looks exactly like Zach burdis looked like right before he needed tommy John surgery and Zach is a bigger guy. That mobility puts an extreme amount of pressure on his arm and I doubt he commands his pitches well throwing like that.
Athletics are an area of intelligence. You can indeed change your mechanics IF you possess the intelligence to do so. Art is an intelligence. You can have all the interest and education in the world, but unless you have the native intelligence, you will never be a great artist. Many of the great artists never had an ounce of education.

@@keithshowell6688 you sound like a very nice dude 👍🏼
@@keithshowell6688 Great attitude, I think you would make a great coach
@@nofurtherwest3474 BTW. I remember watching Senators pitcher and pitching coach Dick Such (Rangers, Twins) run WITH all of the pitchers AFTER spring training workouts. He practiced what he preached!
What did you think of the breakdown? Who do you want to see me look at next? Let me know below!
Emmanuel Clase
Dylan Cease
Luis Castillo or Carlos Martínez
Chase burns, another kid in pettys class that throws 100
Jack leiter

I watched this and aplied this and my Volocity went up and my mechanics looked really smooth even tho before I throw 61 I still learned off of this
How much more mph did you go up by?
Note to all baseball players, don’t skip leg day
Especially pitchers
Legs n core are the basis of pitching strength. Train your abductors. The body is like a coil trying to create arm whip and torque.
good thing let’s and core are the two muscle groups i have the best growth on

Thank you for this I’m 11 and I throw 52 this helped a lot thank you
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this video. Good stuff! PS, the background track is a great touch.
Had to use it to cover up the background noise in the original voice recording. Filmed that in my car!
I could watch these all day
0:23 When your throwing so hard that your hat is falling off.
@JIZZ 4 UNDERAGE MINORS At least I have a life
Great video! The background music imo is a bit too loud tho. Makes it a bit hard to focus on the commentary.

Where did u play college ball?
So Cal...tore a forearm flexor in summer league as a freshman in 1984 and ended up having more success at running 5ks and 10ks
This video was actually crazy for me to realize what I’ve been messing up on

True
He also has lots of movement though
The Twins have a really good pitching pipeline set up, I have faith their low-minors pitching coaches will fix that right up.
Lol ok.if. Ur throwing legit 100 with good movement that's still gonna be hard to hit

We are seeing more guys hitting 100mph cuz they clocking the ball straight out the hand. That adds 3-5 mph.... Compared to clocking across the plate
Justin lange is a guy who throw 102 and his mechanics for me its not exeptional you can breakdown 👍👍
Dude is an amazing athlete. Might do him too!
This was an awesome video thx for doing a wonderful job at narrating
Great direction for young pitcher's in high school. With out perfestional trainers.
Great in depth breakdown.
This is gold!
Great Breakdown. 👍thanks
How about a breakdown on somebody like Greg Maddux who never approached 100 but was one of the all time greats?
Young Greg Maddux had a 96 mph fastball. It’s a myth that he never threw hard.
Great great stuff here!
some of the greatest pitchers in the world from degrom, to pedro and even aroldis chapman didn't start pitching at 13. Pedro and degrom were shortstops and chapmen was a 1st basemen in cuba. mechanics can taught always be tweaked
Man I want this guy in the ATL
Nice analysis
Nice information I’m sharing with my14 yr old so Colby who is already pitching mid to high 70’s this should help him out a lot👍😎
Throwing high 70s at 14 is pretty good.random ppl all the time say they can pitch 70s or 80s until they get on radar and it's not the case.
He keeps the body connected very well, for not pitching in college or the pros.
wow... crazy... come to la!!!
You should do an analysis of justin verlander.
Great video
How much of his form needs, to get cleaned up to pitch in, the pros?
Tread athletics plzzzzz respond I need to know when he lands his arm is slightly greater than 90 degrees is that fine to do?
It’s cool to throw 100+ mph but he need to have above secondary pitches to keep batters off balance this will give him more success and the reason behind this is MLB hitters can hit the heat .
For sure but look... if you throw 100, chances are all your stuff will be electric. 99% of guys throwing 100 can easily throw a 90-93 slider or an 85+ curveball.
Similar mechanic with Madahiro Tanaka
You should breakdown Chase Burns next
Good suggestion. We actually worked with him two summer ago. Kid (and his dad) is a beast!
He tips his pitches. Hopefully he corrects this before getting to the big leagues.
could a weighted glove help increase velocity?
I haven't ever used that with my guys but I could see it being potentially helpful for specific guys who get too long on the glove arm. It's one of those things that could go either way.
His fastball moves like a wiffle ball.
Can’t wait to see Chase Petty in the MLB
was the catcher @0:45 asking to break his wrist or what xD
This kid reminds me of Pedro Martinez...Average size, just smooth
Freakin wow
Can i send some of my ninja stars id love to see how fast he can throw them.
You got to have respect for the catcher though
What’s the song bro
chase will be throwing chapman speeds when he gets chapman arms. his mechanics are flawless
Check out my breakdown on Chapman! He threw 105 before he got that big.
Nah the bigger arms slowed Chapman down
His mechanics are not flawless. Slow
Your row.
With his arm???
Bro I’m scared I might blow my arm out😅😅😅

Slow it all the way down and look at how much he is arming the ball. I call 4 years before he messes up tendons
Countdown until Tommy John.......
He has bad mechanics
