Hi Guys,

I have been trying to make a training program for me to become a better pitcher, but i have had a hard time doing this. Do any of you have any suggestions that may help me?

Thanks

You could look into the TuffCuff program. If you think it's snake oil then ask your local library to get it for you via inter library loan. I have taken a look at the book and it has a lot of routines that my son has learned through some other programs that I thought were pretty good (NBL put on by the Hamlin University coaches is pretty good). Any program you come up with should cover base strength training, SAQ (speed, agility, quickness), baseball/pitching specific explosive movements, dynamic warm up and pitching specific stretching and pitching specific exercises (i.e. rotator cuff exercises). Since my son is a multi-sport athlete I work with his various coaches and trainers to come up with workable routines and schedules to meet his goals

Here are a couple of places to start:

Webball can get you started with some workouts.

www.webball.com

Ron Wolforth is considered the premier pitching and workout related coach in the country. His stuff is here.

You can go to Jaeger sports to get bands and a long toss program.

I have heard good things about the Tuff Cuff book. Steve Ellis also has a pitching Blog where you can get some more information.
