Creative Ideas for On-the-Field Pitcher Development If you’re on the field during these Fall months, it’s a perfect time for pitching coaches to get creative and focus on some of the individual skills and details that can easily be overlooked during the season when velocity and throwing strikes take-up all the attention. Along with my co-host Joe DeMers, I share some thoughts and offer some ideas on how to make the next few months extra-productive for you and your pitchers. Email Angel at angel@gymscience.com | |||
| S10E08 - Pitching Velocity and Injuries: one does not have to lead to the other | 15 Sep 2023 | 01:00:38 | |
Pitching Velocity and Injuries: one does not have to lead to the other In today’s podcast, I wanted to offer a perspective on ways to offset the current trend in elbow injuries as a result of increased velocity. There are things to think about, approaches, training, and hope that I offer to pitchers and coaches to inspire a full-scale effort to keep our pitchers safe as they continue to pursue the one thing that is not going away: a faster fastball.

| S10E06 - Pitching Injuries: are you increasing your own risk? Start taking responsibility for your future now. | 17 Jul 2023 | 01:06:35 | |
Making sure your muscles are ready for the job that you are asking them to do is the most basic responsibility you have, and it is solely up to you, the pitcher. Most injuries are caused by a muscle or muscle-group not being recovered, fatigued, too weak, or being used improperly. In this podcast, I highlight the most dangerous and common errors I see pre-pitching on the field as well as faulty or missing training methods in the gym. My intent is to provide food-for-thought to help you make informed decisions on a day-to-day basis as to how to take the best care of your pitching health and your pitching future.

| S10E02 - Pitchers Need to Pitch | 17 Apr 2023 | 00:58:18 | |
Pitchers skipping bullpens or not going deep enough in their bullpens are often times errors of the way a pitcher is thought of, or should I say, not thought of, in terms of his development. This is a thought-provoking episode that coaches and pitchers do not want to miss. Co-host Joe Demers talks about the effects of the MLB rule changes and talks with us about the latest hot pitch…the Sweeper.

Angel welcomes new co-host Joe DeMers, former Minor League pitcher, to The Fix. Joe makes his debut in The Inside Pitch segment by talking about the new rule changes for pitchers and hitters from a perspective that only a pitcher can give. In Angel’s Out-Pitch segment, you will learn about a muscle that is seldom discussed (but now in the news) as a major player in elbow health.

| S9E08 - Unlocking the Pitcher’s Potential: a few mistakes you don’t want to make | 15 Dec 2022 | 01:00:38 | |
Unlocking the Pitcher’s Potential: a few mistakes you don’t want to make I have unfortunately witnessed things throughout the year that in terms of performance and science, can be counter-productive to a pitcher’s development. And while I know that there is never any intent to interfere with a pitcher’s potential, it is really easy to miss some important details. In this last episode of the 2022 season, I give some food-for-thought on a few issues that warrant awareness on the part of pitchers, coaches, and parents. Email Angel at angel@gymscience.com | |||

| S9E03 - The Power Skill of the Pitching Motion: hip and trunk rotation | 26 May 2022 | 01:12:33 | |
The Rotation Phase of the pitching motion transfers the energy into the pitching shoulder, elbow, and wrist. Efficient rotation includes the segments, their sequencing, and their separation. Squaring-up-to the plate with power and efficiency affects the velocity and the location of the ball. I go into depth to help you understand it and feel it. Included are drills and exercises to teach the motion to yourself or your pitchers. Email Angel at angel@gymscience.com | |||

Understanding the role of the shoulder girdle muscles and its relationship to the shoulder can be complicated. By using photos and drills, I explain how adding “feel” for this concept can improve velocity, the way you use your acceleration muscles, and help you create an easily repeatable arm action and release point.

| S9E01 - Your Stride: is it costing or adding to your velocity? | 14 Mar 2022 | 01:00:21 | |
How do you get from your back leg to your front leg as you move downhill? If you don’t know the answer, then you may be leaving MPH on the mound instead of getting it to the ball. The skill of weight shift, which is how the stride is initiated, is one of the most widely unknown and mysterious skills of the pitching motion. “Use your legs” should be “use your hips”.

Troubleshooting The Glove Arm When is the last time you thought of the glove arm as a major player in location, velocity, and timing of the pitching motion? It’s possible you never thought of it because it is the most overlooked body part in the entire delivery. In this podcast, I will teach you how to see what you’re looking at as well as the three most common flaws, and how to troubleshoot the possible causes.

Angel opens-up Season Eight, Episode One, with guest Head Coach Larry Owens from Bellarmine University. Larry had a question about the pitching motion, specifically, the common flaw of lifting the rear leg off the mound early in the motion, so much so, that it looks like the pitcher is pitching on one leg.

| Situations and Solutions for Off-Season… and… Should You Emulate a MLB pitcher that You Like? | 23 Oct 2020 | 00:58:42 | |
With the unusual circumstances of the 2020 spring, summer, and fall seasons for baseball pitchers, coaches and pitchers find themselves asking questions about readiness for the fall, shutting pitchers down when if feels like they’ve been shut down, and scenarios that are beyond one’s imagination. Many situations are discussed with my suggestions for how to make decisions that will ensure a sound re-entry into spring baseball, 2021. I also delve into the main question I receive during the World Series: “so-and-so on the MLB does this with his mechanics and he is really good.

| Get a Grip | 18 Aug 2020 | 01:19:39 | |
The season opener begins with the podcast’s newest addition, Coach Larry Owens, and his segment called the “Top of the First”. Larry talks about a topic that is near to him: youth pitchers being overused due to back-to-back games and how the negative results of being overused can show-up for many years to come. Larry and I try to offer some “food-for-thought” to youth coaches on how to address this ongoing issue. And in the Teaching Moment for this episode entitled “Get a Grip”, I talk about the anatomy of the grip, the roles of the fingers and wrist, and their relationship and connection to the release, spin rate, pitch-type, hand-size, etc. And in today’s last segment, “Engineering the Pitcher”, I make some suggestions for how pitcher’s can “get a better grip” on the baseball through strength training the often-forgotten fingers as well as the wrist.
