"Hi, my name is Juan Carlos with Expert Village. Today I'm going to teach you how to become a competitive baseball player. In this segment we're going to talk about strength training for pitchers using the Universal Machine. Now you want to be able to set the machine up high in a pulley position to where your arm is at this angle. Then just simply bend forward as you're pitching the ball and just simply come forward with the full motion of throw. This is a great strength to improve once velocity and this is not only for pitchers this can actually be done by all players that want to improve there velocity. If you're left handed, you just set the angle up here and make sure your arm is in this L position and just simply go forward. As you increase your strength with the Universal Machine, you are going to realize that the way you throw the ball and for pitchers the way you are throwing your fastball and your curve ball.
