I've been doing Jaeger bands and Alan's throwing program for almost 2 years now. I'm a 6'3 left handed pitcher and started on the varsity team at my high school my freshman year. I'm currently a Sophmore and have topped out at 85 mph. These routines really work and have really shown improvement for me. I highly recommend the Jaeger sports baseball program if you take the game seriously.

dgalbaseball15 you play in college?
this is a great program im a 6 foot 5 inches an lefty and im throwing 90 mph now
External rotation even through ease of motion, because of an upward arm path. This is the greatness of the program. To externally rotate in a short throw, you either have to know a perfect arm slot or have perfectly powerful hip/shoulder separation
trust me guys if u wana build arm strength this is how u do it!! long toss this is what got my arm strength where it needs to be.. i will also add what helped me being a taller guy at 6'4 is alot of sprint work and cardio.. at least 10 hard sprints after i longtoss with jogging a mile will get the fast twitch muscles going to build velocity..
this program is intended for arm strength and endurance. IT doesnt teach you what to do with man on 3rd n 2cnd with 1 out; it just teaches you how to increase velocity,arm strength, and endurance.

What do you want to do with runners on second and third with one out? Strike the batter out while keeping the ball out of the dirt as much as you can. How do you improve your strikeout rate with your fastball? Additional arm strength/velocity. Pitch velocity is important at any decent level and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. P.S. I know this comment is 11 years old, just replying for anyone who still reads these.
What everyone is missing here is that these two are high level athletes! Long toss can build arm strengh as demonstrated in this video! But what this guy should be promoting is all the work leading to long toss!!! That is what is crucial to make believers out of skeptics! Long toss can increase injury if not done properly... i am willing to bet both these guys can be good middle relievers!!!

High level athletes? where they high level athletes at 8 and 9 too. They are proof this program works. No one said do nothing else to build strength, long toss is a powerful tool
This is amazing!!
well when you change you motion and apply all force towards home plate apposed to having side to side inconsistencies you gain velocity... I threw 83-85 without throwing to a catcher for 2 years. I threw to a catcher for a month and I hit 88 to 92 last weekend at a tryout for my college. I know this because I asked what I hit. I also have been doing a training program for the last 2 years. after i came out of the regression of throwing everyday and now im throwing to a catcher I throwharder
I love long toss!
it actually is great. the senior at my school long tossed all over the summer and now he guns everyone out from center field to home plate with no problem. now he has a full ride to Maine. it really just depends on the person and technique

How far did he make it?
I love my J-Bands!
this is great
Very interesting Video
Its funny because now Nolan Ryan has every pitcher in the Texas Rangers organization doing this program. And even if you throw uphill you are still teaching your body to create natural torque. The only thing really changing is your release point which your body should adjust to naturally. Whether its in a game when you throw a ball and have to adjust to throwing a strike or if you get a ground ball hit to you and have to throw to first. You constantly have to make adjustments in your release.
this jaeger program just makes me want to have a drink
Nice
hmm this is where i train :)... i didnt know till now
I'm 5'8 115 throwing 89 from 90ft with a. Crow hop
Great Video! I am 16 years old and have just joined a full baseball elite training program at the Gonzalez Sports Academy here in Chula Vista. Hoping to see similiar methods of training and results! I throw around 83-87 but will find out for sure on Monday!

Your 27 years . You old )
Ill tell you a great way to teach pitchers to finish without long-toss. Have them start in the finished position. Then work backwards from there . Then when they pitch they can get back to the position the were just in easier because they just felt it .Once they get it don't use the drill anymore. Pitch from a mound and get better from 60'6"
How do you develop a 90mph Fastball? and actually there is a formula that states if you throw a ball 300ft on a relative line (obviously it will be at an upward angle) but you should achieve 90mph off the mound. And I hit 92mph last week so I am alright with it now.
Do QBs throw the ball the length of the field to strengthen their arms? I've heard of pitchers doing long toss, but not QBs. Do hockey players practice 3/4 rink shots?
Dear GayyyBoy69, I know all of those skeptics about long toss out there have your brain turned completely against long toss. I was the same way untill this past year. Then I tried this because it was my absolute last resort for gaining velocity. 3 weeks later i was throwing 4mph harder consistently. Ask Trevor Bauer and Dylan Bundy about this and see what they have to say about it mr. gayyyboy!
where do you teach this, if thsts ok for you to say?
Does using j bands increase arm strength and help with throwing farther and velocity?
@killakatcha2 thanks for the advice man
This program helped me out a lot, im 5ft4inches, i did this program for a month and i was clocked at 88mph in my pull down and im only getting stronger. I am a position player i don't pitch, but i am trying to walk on into a minor league program, any suggestions?

@ibanezmanvicente8a It shouldn't really be in pain as much as it should be stretched out a lot. If it hurts, decrease tension or go to just doing air movements with a baseball or your glove in hand.
What is the "seretching phase" ????
In order to throw a ball that far you MUST release the ball a lot higher then you would if you were pitching. You also will be doing this from flat ground. It make look similar...but close is no where near close for muscle memory. Think about it
im 13 6"1 and ive hit low 80s its not impossible but again i play for some of the best teams in the country for travel.......
@MrBoo83 No don't longtoss if your going to pitch ........ Pitch if your going to pitch : throw 60"6' and you will feel better than this ... Just a tip don't stretch upper body to much try lower body and loosening up as you climb mph
actually he is crow hopping which would prolly make him throw harder. the mound doesnt increase velo just adds downward plain
well wogdoggy, i'm 13, 5'7, and weigh 170, and im pitching 70-75 so it might be possible for him to throw 86-88 mph
Dylan Bundy squats 500 pounds and leg presses 1200. Trevor Bauer has velocity because he uses full body to throw and put a lot of torque in his core. They do long toss to keep their arm in shape and their rotator cuffs and elbows are so strong they can take it. Long toss isn't responsible for their velocity

I'm only 9 years late but this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. That's like saying an Olympic runner is only able to run for so long because all they did was condition their body without running at all.
sir? Johnny Sirzen?
that is hear say, and he may have gotten better just by pitching more or growing. I have a friend who ate bananas every day before he pitched and he gained 9 mph over a year....same thing.
did u throw the ball down a hill?
anyone know where i can get the bands?

When I go to watch frontier league games here in the midwest, I notice the starting pitchers throwing long toss before the game. Just my observation.
whats the right arm slot?

I can throw a baseball 400ft and I do not throw over 90mph whys that?
the "controlled environment" are actual pitchers pitching real baseballs. They just controll what the group does as far as long toss or no longtoss....stretching or no stretching.
maybe a regression from throwing everyday?
Actually I am way more simplified then most. I believe that in order to get better at pitching....you need to pitch from a mound with game like intensity. That is like you said...playing the game. I forget the drills and the longtoss and the gimmics and the stretchy bands.
Bands do not cause the body to make a physiological adaptation. They do not put enough stress on the body to get stronger. Alex takes is arm behind his should and will have labium problems and will have Tommy John the other one will have Tommy John as well
Matt Parris was MVP
You learn to pitch from a mound by pitching from a mound. You don't shoot half court jumpers to practice mid range jumpers. If long toss worked, why don't OFers like Damon and Ellsbury increase their arm strength?

Greg Maxwell I can tell you from my own experience, I have only been doing this for 2 months and my velocity has gone up 4-5 mph, not to mention i feel much more explosive on the mound.
There much be something REALLY wrong with your pitching mechanics. Maybe your windup is slow? Arm is slow?
Did you really just say that their elbows are strong? Haha and how do you think they learned to be able to create torque with their whole body. Not by throwing 60 feet 6 inches. And it doesnt matter how much you squat trevor bauer is a great example of this
how many times would you say it takes to get through to a pitcher then....1 time? 2?The problem is people don't use it like that. Once you have got your point across about how to finish out front then it really will do nothing for a pitcher but mess up his muscle memory. Do you think that swinging a heavier bat before you go to bat makes you faster at the plate? Nope but almost every major league player does it. Does not make it true. The smartst minds in the world thought it was flat at 1 time
What about developing LEG strength ... isn't that important too?

You probably had to have Tommy-John BECAUSE of stuff like the J-bands and Longtoss. I have scientific proof that long-toss DOES NOT increase velocity. Also a study was recently done that states excesive stretching can cause injury rather then prevent it. But tell me why you think it helped you.
You're completely wrong... to become stronger, you work out right? So why is that different for your arm?
This looks like L.A. Pierce haha
91mlie? Wow not 91km?
Yep, their elbows are strong. They can take the abuse put on their elbows by this stupid program because they are built up. They have good torque because they have powerful bodies and know how to use them. Trevor Bauer is an exceptional athlete still no matter how many stupid body weight exercises he does.
That dood from the Detroit tigers is a wannabe he ain't Rick percello
you only think it helped. How do you know you wouldn't have recoverd the same had you not done long-toss. Or maybe you damaged somthing during the long toss that will show up down the road. Real studies with real people and controlled environments says that its a sugar pill. One that can lead to major arm problems.
14 yr old throwin 80? unless your six 5 two thirty i doubt it
Increase your thresh-hold?? Trust me man, the only thing it will do for you is make you a better long-tosser. It will not increase your velocity and it can not make you better at pitching from a mound at 60'6". Any time spent doing this is wasted time you could have spent getting better at pitching. The j-bands make no sense either. Strength has little to no effect in pitching a 5 oz baseball..this is why some 11 year olds can throw 70mph. Timing, speed of movement, and God given ability are it.
ALAN THE BAND DRILLS LOOK LIKE A PUSH TO ME. HOW CAN YOU AVOID THAT. THAT DOESNT LOOK GOOD
that and steroids...come on guys get real, the guys that throw 90 mph+ roid free is all genetics..
The only reason these guys are throwing hard is because of their hip to shoulder separation not "arm strength"
@anthony452

+Isaac K Weak arm cannot keep up with the level of torque/energy transfer required to throw 90+. If you think band work and arm strengthening don't help velocity.....you have never pitched above grade school level.
this is bull crap. velocity doesn't cause the ball to travel further, it just causes the ball to travel faster. its backspin that causes the ball to travel further. so guys dont worry if your not throwing 300+ feet, it does not matter.
ok "dog" please post some hard evidence to what you are saying. If you can not then you must admit that you are simply listening to what someone else said and taking it for truth without checking it out for yourself. That is called belief based coaching. I don't believe anything that can not be proven by science. That is called evidence based coaching. I know these things sound good.... but ask yourself why pitching abilty is down and injuries are up compaired to 50 years ago. It makes no sense.
this is bullshit make your self into an athlete. you don't throw the ball with your just your arm. THis is a fucking disservice to all those who are trying to get better because it seems like it could work but it doesn't
