Suggestions on a good program to help increase velo?

I am looking to hit 90 and hopefully more by spring of '08, my graduating year. I don't quite know what I am at right now, but fall of '06 I topped at 87. Before you guys say velocity isn't everything. believe me, I've heard it before.

Right now I am looking for a good program that I can use in the off season to put me over the top.

Thanks for your advice!

J.Weaver,

I have purchased a plyometrics program from Ron Wolforth, who currently has 37 guys in his program that throw 95+. The program is a little bit expensive but it is most definitely worth it. As for me, I have gained 10 mph from this workout. You can find out more about it at www.pitchingcentral.com

TSP4, I looked at the linked website in your post, and the only program I saw, "The Athletic Pitcher Program" did not seem to be a plyometrics program... am I missing something?

Our high school program also uses the Athletic Pitcher program and has experienced excellent results. The program entails band work, weighted balls, and medicine ball work. The workouts are difficult and time consuming, but the results are worth it and are better than I have seen with anything else.

One question about the Athletic Pitcher Program...Does the program come with all the accessories such as bands, weighted balls, trampolines, or balance beam?

You can take a look at Thrive On Throwing by Alan Jaeger.

He has an excellent article about long toss and it's benefits in the current issue of Collegiate Baseball Magazine.

I'm wondering the same as JW5, if you buy the Athletic Pitcher Program what does it come with? What else do you need to buy extra in order to do everything in the Athletic Pitcher program?
