Coaching the High School Pitcherwith Mike Woods, Hamilton (AZ) HS Head Coach; 3x Arizona High School State Champs (2003,2004, 2008) and 3x State runner up (2011, 2009, 2005); over 300 career victories; 38 players have gone on to play in college (14 in D1) and 12 have played professionally

Nationally recognized high school coach Mike Woods shares his vast experience in this informative DVD designed to develop stronger, more accurate pitchers.

Woods, who has led his prep teams to three state championships in the highly aggressive Arizona system, begins with a series of five warm-up drills that will help pitchers loosen up while developing and maintaining proper form. This series will allow your pitchers to work on their mechanics, grips and motion while minimizing wear and tear on your their arms.

The warm-up routines are followed by a progressive series of seven drills that focus on delivery mechanics. This series will help athletes retain their center of gravity, stay over the back as long as possible and get their legs and lower bodies involved in pitch delivery. As a bonus, he gives two drills that work on proper rotation and the fundamentals of the curve ball.

Techniques and strategies for controlling the running game from the mound-including four options for picking off a runner at first base-are also included in this must-have DVD.

In this video, Coach Filter walks you step by step through the mechanics of 12 different pitches that will help the beginning pitcher become dominant and turn the dominant pitcher into an All-Star! By starting with the fastball, Coach Filter explains how to set up opposing batters for your best pitches. Using on-mound demonstration, each of the following pitches are demonstrated emphasizing proper arm action, proper stride length, proper wrist action, and then he puts everything together for the complete motion. The pitches demonstrated in this video are four seam fastball, two seam fastball, four seam curve ball, two seam curve ball, knuckle curve ball, slider, cut fast ball, circle change up, two seam change up, three finger change, four seam change up, split finger fastball, and the fork ball. This is a great video for the beginning pitcher or the pitcher looking to add a different pitch to his arsenal.

In his first three seasons with the Longhorns, Frank Anderson's pitching staff has led the Big 12 and finished in the Top 5 nationally in ERA percentage. How does Coach Anderson keep his staff fit and sharp between starts? This video spells out the day-by-day workout progression his pitchers use from start to start. Anderson uses a combination of stretching, running, throwing, and rest to have his pitchers razor sharp on game-day. He follows this progression with a specific game-day routine to get his pitchers physically and mentally ready to pitch. This is a great in-season pitching program with proven results!

Through good mechanics your pitchers will produce more strikes.

Randy Mazey, with more than 15 years of coaching experience at the Division I level, gives a head-to-toe demonstration on how to establish proper mechanics, and develop the ability to repeat that delivery through every pitch. Coach Mazey addresses three fundamentals of pitching mechanics: balance, direction and finish, and relates the fundamentals to each part of the body.

Learn how the head, shoulders, arms, hands, hips and legs work together at each stage of a pitch. See live pitching mechanics in action as Mazey provides a frame-by-frame video analysis of his athletes exemplifying both good and bad mechanics.

Mazey identifies the five most common mechanical problems seen at all levels of competition, and explains how they affect a pitch. He runs his TCU athletes through five drills that work specifically on correcting the common problems of head tilting, shoulder tilting, throwing across the body, over rotating and falling off the finish.

If you have good balance, direction and finish, the ball will go where you want it to go.

Increase your pitching velocity this season!

Randy Mazey, who's pitching staff at TCU finished the 2008 season with a 3.63 ERA (fifth in Division I), identifies four areas that aid velocity - Linear movement, Finger placement, Large muscle strength and Rotation - and demonstrates simple, yet effective drills that will build each area in your pitcher. In a frame-by-frame video analysis of his athletes pitching, Coach Mazey presents you with examples of how leg strength, hip rotation and timing will aid your staff in developing greater velocity in their pitches.

Without the use of a state-of-the-art weight room, Mazey demonstrates simple exercises that can be done anywhere and require minimal equipment, yet deliver maximum velocity. Mazey shows you how to improve velocity by simulating the pitching motion in conditioning exercises, including a long toss drill that can build arm speed and affirm the proper release point of the pitch. He also discusses the importance of implementing rest into your pitching program.

In addition, a series of stretch band arm exercises are demonstrated that can improve arm and shoulder strength, keep pitchers healthy and mechanically sound and increase velocity over time.

By using these simple shoulder and core exercises you will see an increase in your pitching staffs' velocity, which should translate to more quality starts from your staff.
