Bucks County Generals

PITCHING/THROWING CAMPS

This pitching development program offers comprehensive instruction and demanding total body training through a PERSONALIZED training and throwing plan. The focus is on developing solid mechanics and a strong, healthy throwing arm, improving command, increasing velocity, and developing a pitching arsenal using Rapsodo for pitchers and positional throwing for non-pitchers.

This program is the most comprehensive pitching/throwing training in the area.

Three 90 minute sessions per week (Tues/Thurs/Sun) program offers the following:

At the beginning of each month, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Coach Marlow (National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer, Performance Enhancement Specialist, and Corrective Exercise Specialist), Dalton Moore (Florida Baseball Armory alum), and Carlos Omana (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) will assess players’ mobility, stability, and strength. Coach Marlow is also certified in Driveline’s Pitching Development Program.
A video analysis of players’ throwing mechanics along with a markerless motion capture analysis will be conducted to identify areas for improvement.
Force plate metrics will be gathered and used to inform a training plan.
Rapsodo will be used to analyze each player’s pitches. Coach Marlow is certified with Rapsodo Pitching and he will create a plan to improve each player’s pitch arsenal.
A PERSONALIZED throwing and training plan will be created for each player to address areas for improvement, maximize performance, and prevent injuries.

Important notes:

Camps are conducted on a monthly basis.
Pricing is based on the number of sessions that are scheduled each month.
This is a Pitching Development Program and is intended to be a 4 or 5 month program to prepare pitchers for the challenges of a competitive season.
A one time per week camp is also available on Sundays for players looking to develop basic pitching mechanics without the additional training

November – December

Three 90-minute sessions will be conducted each week using a PERSONALIZED training plan to prepare athletes for a rigorous throwing and velocity development regimen in January and February. Throwing drills will be conducted to address mechanical deficiencies. Training will focus on total body strength, stability, and flexibility. We can’t stress enough how important these two months are to the creation of a stable base to promote arm health throughout the season.

January – February – March

Three 90-minute sessions per week will focus on the development of velocity and command utilizing a PERSONALIZED plan and will prepare athletes for the rigors of the season. Pitch design and pitch arsenal development will also be managed using Rapsodo. Sessions include total body training, throwing drills, arm care work, velocity and command development, and mechanical work.

Coach Marlow is certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Certified Personal Trainer, Performance Enhancement Specialist, and a Corrective Exercise Specialist. He is also certified in Driveline’s and Rapsodo’s Pitching Programs. To learn more about what elite pitching programs and coaches are teaching, Coach Marlow spent time at the Florida Baseball Armory near Tampa, FL learning their cutting-edge training, throwing, and assessment techniques. He also spent time at the Arizona Baseball Ranch in Phoenix, AZ as a guest of camp owner Ken Knutson. Coach Knutson, the pitching development coordinator with the Cleveland Indians, is doing tremendous work developing elite pitchers.

Carlos Omana is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with a Master’s Degree in Human Performance, who has served as the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for a Los Angeles Dodgers Arizona Minor League Team.

Dalton Moore is also a pitching coordinator with the Bucks County Generals and recently completed a 3-month internship with the Florida Baseball Armory learning and implementing their program.

How you train this winter will impact how you perform on the mound next spring. If you train your body to move slowly, you will throw slowly. If you train to be explosive and ballistic, you will throw harder. Your off-season pitching program MUST have specific components to develop VELOCITY and COMMAND.

IF YOU ARE NOT TRAINING THIS WAY, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME!
With input from several high profile, innovative training programs like the Florida and Arizona Baseball Ranches, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and Coach Marlow’s strength and conditioning certifications, Carlos Omana’s strength and conditioning background, and Dalton Moore’s hands on experience, the Bucks County Generals will continue to provide the most extensive pitching program in the area.
