A different perspective on scap retraction from @jameshbuffi We're all familiar with hip/shoulder separation, but what about trunk/humerus separation or humerus/forearm separation? These are the other links in the whip that must also be able to dissociate for a clean sequence.
This is a great look at what is generally possible for most college pitchers in 6-12 months. Improved FB profile (86-89 FB > 90-92 Sinker) Improved SL profile (78-80 gyro > 81-83 sweeper) Improved CH profile It's not about quick fixes - but about squeezing everything possible…

Changing an arsenal doesn't happen in a vacuum. As we've been saying for years, chasing max sweep or max carry can both impact a pitcher's mechanics, sometimes for the worse (dropping/climbing slot, cross-body, etc.) Understand and monitor these tradeoffs when adding a pitch.

Imagine rolling out of 2pm Calculus, and the next thing you know, you're up against 96 mph and a banger slider. @BryceMeccage making it look easy. #TreadFam

216 Followers 393 Following 6’4 215 || Cloud County CC | Fr RHP | 913-490-9699@TreadAthletics Love this drill. I use one of those pads that slides easy. Blanking on the name. We use them for core stuff too. Also using a med ball and you roll off it on the home plate side, that helps with feeling the landing part as well in that drill. Love it man!
For starters...2017 Kimbrell is 28 years old and 2024 Kimbrell is 35 years old. Lotta bullets been fired in that right arm. But based on the videos, he's more cross-fire in 2024, leaking slightly more towards 3b when he lands, thus dropping arm slot
Craig Kimbrel 100 vs 91 mph mechanics 🔥 From 2017 (left) to 2024 (right) he's gone from averaging 98.2 to 93.6 on his fastball. I have some thoughts, but what differences do you see between these two pitches?
A little bit of business with pleasure this weekend. Thank you, @TreadAthletics. The best of the best in technology and coaching. @TreadHQ
@TreadAthletics 😂😂😂 You guys did a blog post (2017 or 18 I think) It was about tempo in HS->D1->Pro. It saw the trend in tempo go up as you moved higher up. Huge point to revisit I noticed DeGrom’s last year with the Mets his tempo had hiccups compared to previous years of dominance.

My mother is a great woman. My grandmother was a great woman. “I watched them volunteer”. Service is near and dear to me & I am grateful that it was instilled in me by watching my mother (& father) & grandmother. ❤️
@TreadAthletics Without looking at the responses I feel as if most people will say “his finish”. Which is technically correct, but why is the finish different? Can’t really tell from a back video but I would guess linear posture at landing or lack of linear momentum into landing or lil of both
@TreadAthletics My guess is 1MPH is age and the other is pacing himself and figuring out how he can still be effective 2 -3 seasons from now. he may feel like there are a limited number of 99 MPH bullets left and is being cautions with them bc he wants to pitch 5 more years.
@TreadAthletics Throwing more with less exertion. A la Leo Mazzone.
@TreadAthletics Below is for the 100mph. Higher arm slot. Ball is further behind his head when coming around. He starts and rotates more closed and therefore gets more torque in his lower half.
@TreadAthletics Clemens still looked pretty similar to the far right side when he was dominating with the Astros. If I recall he was still 95 at the time.
@TreadAthletics Lower leg kick, more crossfire, arm action is earlier, lower arm angle...what else am I missing?
@TreadAthletics Aside from what many have already said in the comments, it seems he’s also slightly more closed with the landing of his left foot. Seems less connected to the ground with his leg extension.
@TreadAthletics His arm slot with the Braves was mid 3/4. He’s mid - low 3/4 now.
@TreadAthletics Looks to me like he’s lost some scap retraction/horizontal abduction early in his arm path too.
@TreadAthletics Left leg stiffer and more hip rotation on the left.
@TreadAthletics And he was up to averaging 95 with a max of 96.7 last night. Probably just ramping things up for the season, not trying to go full effort out the gate when he pretty clearly was out of juice by October last season.
@TreadAthletics Left leg is more violent at landing in 2017. Seems like more torque
@TreadAthletics Just from this alone you can see a lot of subtle differences. Arm angle is definitely lower. Instep is slightly more closed so almost little more of a cross body action going on. Posture is a little flat instead of downhill. Grip is also slightly moved back on the ball.
