Year One Lies: Why Post-UCLR Pitchers Look “Back” But Aren’t — And What Really Signals the Comeback

A recent two-year study of MLB pitchers after Tommy John surgery revealed something most box scores can’t show — the arm may look healthy, but the pitcher isn’t truly “back” until year two. While velocity and fastball spin often return early, off-speed spin — the subtle fingerprint of trust and fine-motor control — lags behind, only normalizing in the second season. At Velo University, we use that insight to build recovery plans that prioritize conviction and command over radar readings.

Struggling to Throw Strikes? How the Best Remote Pitching Coach Uses a Metronome to Improve Control

Discover how the best remote pitching coach uses metronome training to help athletes throw more strikes, improve command, and regulate stress.

The Hidden Cost of Early UCL Tears: Why Timing Shapes a Pitcher’s Future

Tommy John surgery is often painted as a “reset button,” but new research tells a different story. Data shows that pitchers who undergo UCL reconstruction early in their careers are far less likely to reach MLB and have shorter careers than those who delay injury into their mid-20s. At VeloU, this reinforces our philosophy: sustainable velocity and smart workload management—not quick fixes—are what truly extend careers.

Why Should You Start Weight Training?

Weight training is crucial for youth athletes, improving strength, power, and overall performance while preventing injuries. Balancing skills and strength training, along with consistent effort, leads to significant improvements and long-term success in sports.

The Sticky Truth: What Really Happened After MLB’s Foreign Substance Ban

When MLB banned sticky substances in 2021, most expected chaos—more injuries, wild pitches, and loss of control. But new data from Samborski et al.

Shoulder Strength, Not Flexibility, Drives Pitch Velocity in College Arms

New research confirms what high-level coaches have long suspected: shoulder rotational strength—not passive mobility—is the key driver of throwing velocity. The study found strong correlations between external rotation strength and both pitch velocity and joint force output, while range of motion showed no meaningful link. At VeloU, this reinforces our approach of prioritizing targeted strength development over chasing excess flexibility to help pitchers throw harder and stay durable.

Why Self-Organization is Key to Developing Elite Athletes

Many training programs focus on “fixing” mechanics without recognizing that movement is context-dependent. Pitching isn’t about memorizing one way to throw—it’s about developing a system of movement adaptability that works in any situation.At VeloU, we don’t teach pitchers to force a specific motion. Instead, we provide training environments that guide the body toward optimal solutions—solutions that athletes can apply in real-time, whether in practice, in a game, or under high-stakes competition.

Creatine - NOT a Steroid, but still pretty damn important!

As an advocate for athlete health and performance, I urge athletes to consider the broader implications of their choices, especially those made off the field. The allure of quick fixes or performance boosts must be weighed against the potential for long-term health issues and performance declines.

Why “75% Effort” Isn’t What You Think It Is: The Illusion of Reduced Throwing Intensity

Throwing “easy” isn’t always easy on the arm. A 2023 motion-capture study found that pitches thrown at 75% effort still generated over 80% of full-effort elbow torque—proving that perceived effort doesn’t match mechanical stress. At VeloU, we use objective feedback like torque sensors and radar tracking to manage throwing loads safely and efficiently, because arm health depends on data, not feel.

Perceived Effort Doesn’t Equal Actual Arm Stress — And That’s a Problem

Think you can throw at 50% effort? Science says otherwise. A new study shows pitchers still generate nearly full joint stress when “taking it easy,” proving why rehab and recovery can’t rely on feel alone. At VeloU, we use radar, wearables, and constraints to make sure half effort is actually safe effort.

Stop Picking Sides: Why “Tall & Fall” vs “Drop & Drive” Is the Wrong Question

For years, pitchers have been told to choose between “tall and fall” or “drop and drive,” as if one were the secret to throwing harder or staying healthy. A new 2024 biomechanics study flips that idea on its head—showing that both strategies can boost velocity without changing elbow stress, and that the key variable isn’t the style but the athlete. In short: stop picking sides and start profiling your own movement—because the best stride strategy is the one that fits your body.
