Velocity isn’t just about how hard your arm moves. It’s about how efficiently your body transfers energy.

One thing that makes elite pitchers so explosive is their ability to rotate around a stable front side.

Watch how Paul Skenes works his glove side. He doesn’t simply pull his glove to his chest. He creates a firm front side that allows his torso to rotate violently around his center of mass.

That’s what coaches refer to as “glove tuck.”

A proper glove tuck can:

* Improve hip-to-shoulder separation
* Increase rotational torque
* Improve velocity potential
* Create more consistent timing throughout the delivery

The glove side isn’t just along for the ride. It’s responsible for helping stop forward momentum and redirecting that energy into rotational force.

Elite pitchers don’t throw harder because they’re stronger. They throw harder because they’re more efficient.

Paul Skenes is one of the best examples in baseball today of turning elite movement patterns into elite velocity.

Train your mechanics. The velocity will follow.

“Great pitchers don’t just throw hard. They move right.”

Pedro Martinez 4 Pitch Arsenal.

Before the guys who never played the sport at a high level come for me in the comments, these are HIS grips that he shared on MLB the network, not mine.

I’m recreating the exact grips that he shared so argue with a wall 😆

Curveballs.

Usually the first breaking ball every kid learns how to throw.

It’s phased itself out of MLB as MLB has hyper focused on Sliders, Cutters and Sweepers but like the changeup, it’s important to throw a good one.

A good curveball should change a batters eye level as well as their speed recognition but at higher levels works best when tunneled off a slider/fastball/change

ABOUT ME

My name is Victor Gonzalez and I’m a former professional baseball player originally from Queens, NYC and currently in SW Florida.

I’ve been playing baseball for 32+ years and I’ve put Driven Pitching together to get pitchers better at their craft.

I’m currently working on my Mental Performance Mastery (MPM) certification to offer mental performance coaching to athletes on top of just pitching.

My philosophy in pitching is simple but the application is not;

1.) Build The Foundations (Proper Mechanics, Baseline Pitches, Pitching 101)

2.) Work Off Your Personal Strengths

3.) Master The Art of Pitching (Mental, Advanced Mechanics, Pitch Grips, Pitch Shapes, Pitching Philosophy, Mental Mastery, Sport Behavioral Analysis/Mastering Micro Expression/Body Language Analysis) and more.

Our first virtual lessons are free and it’s an opportunity for us to meet, learn about each other and see if we’re a fir for each other.

🔄 SUPINATION vs. PRONATION in Pitching ⚾️

Understanding what your hand does through release can change the shape and efficiency of your pitches.

➡️ Supination = turning the palm outward (thumb up/pinky side leading). This movement helps create sweep and lateral movement and is commonly associated with sliders and sweepers. Supination happens naturally after release, not by forcing your wrist.

➡️ Pronation = turning the palm inward (thumb down). This movement is seen on fastballs, sinkers, and changeups and can help create arm-side movement while allowing the arm to decelerate naturally.

🚨 The key is this:

❌ Don’t try to aggressively manipulate your wrist.
✅ Let the grip, intent, and arm path produce the movement naturally.

Great pitchers don’t force pronation or supination; they understand when each movement occurs and use it to optimize pitch shapes and improve efficiency.

Train movements. Don’t manufacture them.
