"We have been looking for a solid pitching mechanics video that we can recommend for all ages. Dan Gazaway has now given us just that... straight forward, detailed, yet not overwhelming. His teaching fits with all the current research without being a science class - just good coaching." -
Richard Todd
The components of Coach Valenzuela's effective long toss and arm conditioning pitching program feature stick drills for pitching mechanics, tube exercises, leg work, leg stretches, agility work and a throwing program. Using elastic tubing, players prepare for practice by demonstrating six stretching exercises. Running, individual stretching and agility exercises are other important parts of practice preparation. Valenzuela goes through his top eight individual stretches and seven agility exercises for you to incorporate into your practice. The first step in the throwing program is the Free Throw Tosses drill with a four-seam grip. Chest to chest, three position, walking into throws (40-60 feet), long toss with arc (80-90 feet), fastball/change-up catch (90 feet), working into 60 feet and feel pens from the mound (70%) comprise the pitching drills that make up the long toss program. Six stick drill mechanics help players maintain fundamentals and proper pitching mechanics. This is the same program that, in 2007, helped propel the San Diego staff to the 7th best earned run average in the nation (3.37) while rising to 16th in the country for strikeouts per nine innings.
