Patterning an Efficient Delivery with Throwing Correctives

By Nunzio Signore (BA, CPT, NASM, PES, FMS)

Earlier this year, we posted a 4-week throwing program for pitchers looking to maintain their arm health and capacity.  The weekly programs include several throwing drills to help address mechanical issues and to develop more efficient movement patterns. Many of these drills have been made popular through the work of Ron Wolforth, Randy Sullivan, Tom House and Driveline Baseball to name a few.  We’re not re-inventing the wheel here, just giving you our combination of what has worked for our athletes through trial and error over the years.  They are as follows: Continue reading “Patterning an Efficient Delivery with Throwing Correctives”

Those of you that have trained with us previously already know the breadth and depth of our training programs.  Given our recent move to Paramus, NJ, for all of our new friends and neighbors in north New Jersey, I would like to personally give you a welcome to one of the most comprehensive facilities for training and developing pitchers and baseball players. 

This off-season is already off to a fast start.  With athletes from middle and high schools all over, and professional ball players from various MLB teams (including the Twins, Padres, Diamondbacks, Orioles, Rockies, Reds and Devil Rays) already having joined us, I would have to say this is going to be our best off-season yet.

Just in case you’ve never been to RPP before… Continue reading “NJ’s Most Comprehensive Training for Pitchers and Players”
