About this title

Synopsis

This is a practical guide full of information for pitchers and coaches at every level from Little League to the major league. It covers the three keys to pitching success: technique, training and thinking. The section on technique shows how to apply 3-D motion analysis to pitching mechanics. The training section details the latest methods for conditioning the pitcher's total body and throwing arm, whilst the thinking section focuses on the mental aspects of ptiching, including preventing game anxiety, handling postgame anxiety, and more.

From the Publisher

“Tom and I worked together when we were with the Texas Rangers. He’s always been ahead of his time when it comes to baseball information and instruction. This revised Pitching Edge is a must-read if you want to know what’s new with pitching training, techniques, and thinking.”

Rob Nen Pitcher, San Francisco Giants

“In person, in videos, and in books, Tom has always tried to give coaches and athletes state-of-the-art methods to prepare for competition. This second edition of The Pitching Edge updates his mental and physical training protocols, providing new drills to help improve the skills of any pitcher who is willing to work.”

Charles Nagy Pitcher, Cleveland Indians
