2 College Pitchers Gained 5mph in 6 weeks

81 to 89 in six weeks....

Now that is fantastic.

Where can I sign up?

Ken, you can sign up at www.frozenropestx.com. But you know since we are buds you can just call me personally and I will set you up.

On second thought Corey...

I'm too fat, tired, and old to be gaining velocity these days.

How about 30 lbs. in 6 weeks?

Now that you mention it, I have had a co-worker lose 30 pounds in about 6 weeks on the "soup diet"

Try it at your own risk! It is not Frozen Ropes approved.

Are you kidding me? Is this an infomercial? Hey Dallas Spikes what are the names I need to write them down. Send me a PM.

sent you a pm. Dont know exactly what giving you the names is going to do though.

I can vouch that this program does work. My son did the program his sophomore year in HS and gained at least 5mph during the program.

Ok,

What your saying is that if any player, pitcher or position player, goes through this program...

He has the chance to increase his velocity up to 8 mph?

And all this in 6 weeks?

This is amazing stuff. Imagine the possibilities.

This isn't a program...

It's magic.

No one...... not even the all mighty Ken Guthrie can argue with facts.

*FACT*

2 Pitchers (one righty and one lefty), not just one test dummy, went from 81mph to 86mph in 6 weeks with this program.

They were both around 81mph all fall. They would top out around 83, but in our fall games.... they would be right around 81mph. Also, neither one touched above 84mph on my gun this fall.

Currently they are averaging 86mph now after 6 weeks of the Velocity class.

*FACT*

I am interested to see how they fair in the season... if they maintain the jump and also how their arms react to the speed change.

With the outstanding results from this program, it is natural for people to not believe it.

Spikes, I thought the weighted balls thread you started back in September was one of the more interesting topics on here over the past year. Who Has Tried Weighted Baseballs?

Given the results of your two college pitchers after taking the Velocity Class @ Frozen Ropes....are you still skeptical about using weighted balls?

How tall and old are these "example kids"? Don't you think natural growth has a lot to do with it? I have a soph that has gained about 6 mph since last year....no lessons or anything.....just curious....I am sure the program is great and it will help some....

Oh geez.

Now Fuqua is involved in the magic show.

What's next? If you swing a limb from a cherry tree you can hit the ball like the Sultan of Swat?

I was very skeptical of weighted baseballs in the past. Danny and Corey convinced me to give it a try with some of my pitchers and the results were amazing. So..... Yes, I am a believer of weighted baseballs.

But the Frozen Ropes classes are WAY more than just throwing a few under/over weighted baseballs. Ive learned alot from those guys.

And for the argument of natural growth..... both players are 20 years old, one is around 5'10 and one is 6'0. I do not think natural growth has anything to do with the results.

These are "Example kids" for me.... not for Frozen ropes. They have proved their program works to many other players/parents/coaches with other "example kids".

All the arguments against weighted baseballs are not new to me. I thought the same thing that all the non-believers think. But I know alittle about the game and for 2 college aged pitchers (not high school... still growing) to gain 5mph in 6 weeks means that program works. PERIOD!!!

Any chance you could give me a few of those free cage tokens at the Ropes or do I have take the weighted ball challenge too?

So, if the first 2 that you send have success, and lets just say the next 10 you send don't, does the program work?......period

Ken, I would love to give you free tokens, except we dont do tokens. We are a training facility, not a batting cage. I will hook you up with a session on our computer swing analysis machine to see if we can put some more pop in your fungo swing or maybe get you a visual mechanics session on our probatter so you can bust the ump's chops with more frequency and accuracy.

Back on topic. Our program has a proven track record of results. I have cited numerous medical and professional studies to support those results in another thread. It's not "magic" - it is a legitimate training program. Not the same old "you wanna hit better/hit more, you wanna throw harder/throw more" stuff that I have seen posted somewhere on this site before.

FR,

Ok...ok, you have convinced me. I'm headed out to the local CCA to grab a couple of used bowling balls. Heck with this 8/9 mph increase, give 20.

I wonder if there may be a reverse effect? If so, Gage ain't playin' no **** wiffle ball or his ace will break my bank paying for the magic.

Then again, them soft throwing lefties have always given Dbat fits. Just how much does FR wanna bid on my boy? I wanna get paaaaaaiiiid.

Go big or go home regards,

Easy with the bowling balls. They aren't Frozen Ropes approved equipment or utilized by the official Frozen Ropes Speed Thrills program.

That's good stuff Spikes! There is a guy on westside of DFW that has a great "velocity plus" pitcher training program well regarded like FRopes... guy used to be head of baseball operations at TCU...

About 4 years ago took a LHP topping out at 87/sitting at 84-85 and over about two months had him touching 94 (six of eight FB thrown in a bullpen after getting loose) was then sitting at 89/90... went from a guy that was going JUCO (as this was right before his senior year) to 3rd Round pick of Orioles....

Ever heard of Sean Henn? Was topping out at 87 in h.s. two years later as a Yankee DNF, was topping out at 99 and sitting at 94... signed a nice little bonus out of MCC....

Nope, not everyone can do it - but if it's in you (physiologically) a program like these will get it out of you...

Ken, we call it 'overall future potential...'

Can't get everyone to run a 4.4 ... but if it is in the athlete (physiologically) there are trainging regims to get it out of them...

Man...

And to think, Mickey Mantle ate steak and potatoes for pre game meals and did 12oz. curls for his offseason workout.

Just think what guys like Fergi Jenkins or Cool Pappa Bell could have done with a little "magic".

anyone else here tire of Ken's cynicism?

I'm sorry.

I'll go back to the tryout threads.

When is KG cynical? I honestly think he is interested in tryouts.

Ahhh....Franco Harris and the 'Immaculate Reception'. Did it hit Frenchy or did it hit Jack Tatum? Have always disliked the Steelers....and magic shows. Like good baseball training though. Good stuff.
