Tired of throwing & pitching injuries at Your Program ?

Tommy John surgeries are up threefold in the last 10 yrs. & getting worse! Yet, history tells us MOST throwing injuries can be PREVENTED.

Bob Gibson AVERAGED 258 innings per yr. from '61 to '74. They lowered the mound 5 inches because of his 1.12 ERA in '68 with 304 innings + 28 complete games throwing 96 MPH! Gibby had 255 complete games in his Hall of Fame career! Why aren't today's pitchers as durable?

Athletes Today Are Chasing Velocity at All Costs
InSight Group Members John Smoltz (HOF 2015) & The Rope Trainer with Peavy Baseball Systems continually study the many factors contributing to UCL & other injuries. We believe we have found a better way:

  1. Stop the Insanity of Velocity at All Costs-Find a Better Way
  2. Think Outside the Box to Design Superior Protocols to Achieve Goals
  3. Achieve Optimized Velo By Increasing Efficiency With Less Stress

Stop the Insanity of Velocity at All Costs
Note for Pitching/Throwing Coaches: Articles are summations/interpretations based on InSight Groups extensive study using Peavy Baseball InnerVision + 12 studies performed by the Wake Forest Biomechanical Pitching Lab & other sources in the public domain. InSight Group lists these studies with links to the original resource articles in our Newsletter Resource Archives for your pitching/throwing coaches to study to become better informed of continually evolving instruction methods, with the goal of reducing injury risks in overhead throwers.
STOP: Weighted Balls Work-But Not The Way You Think
Studies are showing that increased pitch speeds may come from increased external rotation from additional humerus warping, NOT from additional arm strength or acceleration rates. The additional velocity may come from simply longer "acceleration ramps".

Deviant ball weights result in altered arm positions during the pitching motion & altered velocity. In addition, increased external rotation & eccentric posterior shoulder contractions from throwing an overweight ball could amplify the loss of internal rotation & increase the risk of injury.

THINK: Analyze Existing Methods & Tools
The "towel drill" has been around for years & is safe..right?

Not necessarily. Peavy Baseball InnerVision testing of The Rope Trainer Vs The Towel Drill found that the towel drill produced 40% more UCL stress than The Rope Trainer. Natural external rotation disappeared & the throw became less synchronized & produced a wholly inefficient sequencing of the motion & inefficient hand path.

ACHIEVE: Optimize Velocity Through Efficiency
Extensive Studies at Wake Forest University & others have found a tremendous relationship between ground reaction force & throwing arm kinetics. Maximum Shoulder Rotation Torque may be reduced by limiting the Drive Leg Medial Force without velocity loss.

An effective relationship to the ground reaction force may contribute to a more effective energy transfer of the trunk & the arm or a more effective use of the core, thus lessening arm/shoulder stress.

Develop: An Ever Improving Protocol
Peavy Baseball uses InnerVision High Speed Motion Analysis in their high tech pitching studio to develop an ever evolving & improving "Velocity through Efficiency" pitching/overhead throwing protocol featuring The Rope Trainer & other tools to synchronize the core & arm to maintain velo with less arm stress.

Synchronize: Utilize the Core-Reduce Arm Stress
Building on the success of The Rope 101 & Velocity Through Efficiency Protocols, Peavy Baseball again uses InnerVision High Speed Motion Analysis in their high tech pitching studio with a Core Velocity Belt (available online) to maximize use of the core & synchronize the arm with optimal groundforce to reduce arm stress, while maintaining velocity.
