Is the "Daddy Hack" Drill a Pitching Velocity Unlock?

Feeling stuck in your career? Go here: https://treadathletics.com/connect/eG... ------------------------------- Introducing the "Daddy Hack" Drill. We are incredibly excited about this progression after seeing numerous guys jump in velo directly after. Finding the glute, riding the hinge & rotating into landing is foreign to a lot of pitchers, but they (almost) all can do it when they swing. What if we backwards chained that forward move, which is fundamentally the same as pitching?🤔 Here's what pitchers implicitly do when cued to take a "daddy hack": ✅Move forward while staying back ✅Ride the center ✅Find the glute, hinge and rotate ✅Stay stacked over a stable back foot So this is interesting, but can you really transfer it to a throw? So far, the answer seems to be a resounding "yes," with over 70% of athletes that we intervened with (guys who don't hinge) seeing quick & significant velo bumps (2-5 mph). This seems to work as a teaching shortcut by taking a pattern that many athletes already have and helping them translate that feel on a downhill plane with a ball vs. a bat. ------------------------------- What is Tread? A message from Tread's Co-Founder, Ben Brewster If you're new to this channel, my name is Ben Brewster, and since 2015 my partner Coan and I have run Tread Athletics, a remote pitching development company that has impacted thousands of high school, college and professional pitchers' careers. Here's my story: at 15, I was just a driven but naive kid with a dream of playing at the highest level. This took me down a wild path, that included: -Getting cut from travel teams and throwing low 70s as a 6'3" 155lb freshman. -Being unrecruited out of high school (seriously, not a single offer to pitch in college). -Landing a walk-on spot at the University of Maryland & earning a degree in Exercise Science. -Getting drafted by the Chicago White Sox and throwing 98+ mph from the left side. -Pushing through 5 surgeries in my late 20's, despite people telling me to throw in the towel. Seeing that very few pitchers, like myself, had access to the types of instructors and information locally that would truly make a difference in their careers, Tread's remote coaching was born. Today: Tread oversees the development of over 1,500 amateur and 500+ pro pitchers around globe (check out our interactive athlete map it's pretty cool), and has become home to over 50 of the top Pitching coaches in the world. Our staff operates out of a 33,000 square foot training facility in Charlotte, NC that includes one of the top private pitching labs, a biomechanics team, world-class sports medicine staff & more, as we work to lead the charge on building better, healthier pitchers. While my own playing career has been defined by more setbacks than successes, these personal struggles give me a crystal clear perspective that Tread isn't just about building superior pitchers – it's about fighting toward a shared dream; whether that means making your high school team, landing a college scholarship, signing a pro contract or debuting in the big leagues. For these players, I'm all in -- let's continue to pursue the dream together. -Ben ------------------------------- Twitter:   / treadathletics   Instagram:   / tread_athletics   ------------------------------- Free downloads: https://treadathletics.com/free-stuff/ How does remote coaching work: https://treadathletics.com/coaching/ See our athlete results here: https://treadathletics.com/featured-s...
