Build velocity and conditioning with advanced techniques.

Bill Bethea runs a training academy in Texas, is an associate scout for the Houston Astros, and most importantly for you he's a student of gurus like Ron Wolforth and Paul Nyman. In fact this two-title set presents close to 2-1/2 hrs of theory and application, covering many of the key points from these instructors but modified for the way Bethea teaches the techniques and drills at Power Pitching and Hitting, Inc.

Foir high school and older.

DVD#1: Power Pitching: Pitching Mechanics Theory and Application

This DVD features cutting edge ideas on mechanical theory, philosophy, conditioning and development. He covers some of the new teachings on glove-side firmness, launching with your hips, and working with the pitcher's natural arm slot for to follow-through. The instruction won't be unfamiliar to anyone who's been around WebBall for some time, but it is presented in his style with his priorities. 51 min. 2008.

DVD#2: Conditioning and Velocity Development for Pitchers The second DVD will fine tune a conditioning program that can add 5 to 10 mph to almost any fastball! This video starts with 10 plyometric exercises, followed by core work with a double-handled medicine ball and core ball. Bethea demonstrates seven arm warm-up exercises and four arm care exercises to help prevent injuries. Finally, Bethea explains his cutting edge velocity training program using weighted baseballs. This is closer to the original Coop DeRenne approched covered under pyramid training on WebBall rather than the newer Wolforth approach. Sprinting and kettle ball strength training complete this pitcher-conditioning program.  95 minutes. 2008.
