HS, NCAA, AND PRO: 90 DAY OFFSEASON VELOCITY AND PITCH-ING ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM ____________________________________________________ The following 90DAY VeloPRO pitch-ING and velocity program is designed specifically for usage with the VL Harness, and is intended for the high school to pro levels. USAGE WITHOUT THE VL HARNESS IS NOT RECOMMEND, AS (1) SENSORY FEEDBACK, (2) MOVEMENT DEVELOPMENT, AND (3) UNSUPPORT OF THE THROWING SHOULDER AND ARM WOULD NOT BE ASCERTAINED TO THE WORK LOAD, TRAINING GOALS, AND/OR OVERSIGHT REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH BY THIS PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM IS NOT INTENDED FOR USAGE WITH WEIGHTED IMPLEMENTS, SUCH AS WEIGHTED BASEBALLS. WORK LOAD REQUIREMENTS OF THIS PROGRAM (IF USED WITH WEIGHTED BASEBALLS) WOULD PLACE TOO GREAT A STRESS LOAD UPON (1) RECOVERY RATES, (2) JOINT SUPPORT, (3) LIGAMENT AND TENDONS, AND (4) MUSCULAR RESPONSE. WEIGHTED BASEBALL TRAINING SHOULD BE UTILIZED SEPARATE AND OUTSIDE THIS PROGRAM'S APPLICATIONS. Develops HEALTHY velocity that is both supported and competes for the win - rather than just a velocity or throwing program. Over 5 years of analytical pitching data and research (from the University, lab, and on field perspectives) supports this program usage. Data is INDEPENDANT of VeloPRO Baseball, which is highly important to the accountability and integrity of this program. USAGE DURING GAME COMPETITION OR SEASON IS NOT ADVISED BECAUSE PROGRAM DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT PERFORMANCE STRESS OR WORK LOADS. RECOMMENDED FOR: 1. HS aged pitchers whom have a full 3 months to commit towards velocity and pitch-ING development. Not a velocity program only, but develops from the GROUND up - ensuring health and support of throwing shoulder/arm are ascertained. Does not train arm speed alone, but lower half drive that supports arm speed increases. Work loads plateau to high levels. Ensure recovery rates and ratios. MUST BE IN OPTIMAL STRENGTH AND CARDIO SHAPE BEFORE STARTING THIS PROGRAM. Not recommended for post surgery or "recovery from injury" arms. 2. NCAA pitchers whom did NOT play summer baseball OR have a full 3 months to develop supported velocity and pitch-ING tools. Develops from ground up to ensure lower half drive is creating arm speed increases. Work loads plateau to high levels. Ensure recovery rates and ratios. MUST BE IN OPTIMAL STRENGTH AND CARDIO SHAPE BEFORE STARTING THIS PROGRAM. Not recommended for post surgery or "recovering from injury" arms. 3. MiLB and MLB pitchers whom are NOT playing winter ball, free agents seeking to re-sign, and/or pitchers whom will report trying to "win" a job. Ensure you have 30 full days of no throwing (after your season) before starting this program. Start 90days prior to reporting. Develops from ground up to ensure lower half drive is creating arm speed increases. Work
