Athletes excel at different rates. This has seemingly been attributable to genetics, lucky breaks, or whatever other labels people put on talent. Some say a talented athlete is blessed. I believe that everyone has been blessed with talent. The difference is what we do with it. Successful people know that they got that way by applying themselves. Nowadays we have specialists who teach hitting, pitching, fielding, and every other aspect of the game. These specialists have developed excellent drills for physical performance on the field. And yet, in a game that is 90% mental, how much practice time is spent doing actual mental conditioning? Usually, responses vary from none to little. Some coaches say they work on the mental side of the game while they are doing physical drills. That is not necessarily the case, but they want to be able to say that they do, indeed, work on the mental aspect of their players game. This CD will allow you to use the advanced techniques of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Hypnosis, visualization, and deep relaxation ... to discover your inner winner. Hypnosis is a state where you can access the part of your imagination that allows you to visualize easily. If you want to hit a baseball better, for example, you can visualize yourself from an observer position, hitting a baseball. Just see yourself hitting a baseball. Now, if you were to see what you would actually see, hear what you would hear, and feel what you would feel, if you were actually hitting a baseball, then you could do that perfectly, in your imagination, and it would be as if you had actually done it perfectly. Your subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between an actual event, and one that is vividly imagined. It would be as if you had hit the ball perfectly in real life, in real time. When you imagine yourself as being confident, seeing the ball well, and executing the perfect swing, that becomes a message to your subconscious mind of what you want, and a vivid memory of what you have done in the past. Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. Your mind operates like a computer. You receive programming every day, whether you are aware of it, or not. You can remove, or override, any negative programming, and replace it with positive programming chosen by you, for your success. Are you doing everything you can do to make yourself a better baseball player? Take the time to invest in your mind. Take this opportunity to develop the mental aspect of your game. When you order \"The Hitting Zone\" now, you will also receive \"Error Eraser,\" and \"Pre-Game\" FREE. Error Eraser Now you can become a more effective player by turning any mistake into a positive learning experience. You can remove fear by seeing a mistake as a way of learning how to do something properly. Reverse the negative effects of making a mistake, and practice making the play successfully ... in your mind. You may get so good at this technique, that you will be able to do it instantly even on the field. Pre-Game This 10 minute routine will help you quiet your mind, and set goals for the game you are about to play. This session is short so you can listen to it before each game, to develop a winner mindset. It is full of positive self-talk, and affirmations. This is mental training.

Initial velocity is the speed of the ball as the radar gun sees it, perceived velocity is the speed of the ball as the mind's eye sees it and Effective Velocity is the speed it actually is. Effective Velocity is the initial velocity plus the location effects of the pitch due to different locations having different reaction times.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen a pitch is thrown at 90 MPH of initial velocity, it has 9 different possible speed zones it will enter depending on the location of the pitch. Within the strike zone, there are 5 time zones. In simple terms, a 90 MPH pitch can and does equal many different speeds, depending on where the pitch is located.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis begs a question, are the locations and the velocity combinations that you use regularly helping or hurting your battle with throwing off the hitters' timing? There are many major league pitchers, the majority of all we studied, misuse the combination of either velocity or location of at least one pitch. Most pitchers throw pitches that are intended to be off speed such as a slider that are consistently located where they are gaining Effective Velocity and the location of their fastball, which is intended to be fast is in a location that is losing Effective Velocity. This is called Effective Velocity Crossover, the speed of the slower pitch is gaining and the speed of the faster pitch is losing with the reaction time of both pitches heading toward each other. When they get to within 6 Effective Velocity Miles Per Hour of each other they are At Risk pitches. This phenomenon is responsible for over 50% of the hard hit balls in all the studies conducted over a 2 year period.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eLateral Lane Changes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen a pitch is thrown the same velocity to different lanes, the reach of the hitter will change which in turn changes the reaction time of the pitch.  In essence, changing lanes also changes the velocity of the pitch.  The speed does not actually change, but the time the hitter has to get the sweet spot of the bat to the exact location of the 100% on time contact point does change.  The question is do you know how that change in reaction time will affect the outcome?  Every pitch is headed toward or away from 100% on time contact all the time, do you  know where your pitches are headed?  These and many more questions are answered in Downright Filthy Pitching - Book 1.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvery pitch location has only point that can result in perfect 100% on time contact with 100% swing efficiency. Hitters can make adjustments such as drawing their arms in to try to get the fat part of the bat to hit a pitch in a location that is not ideal, but their swing efficiency will be lost to a certain degree.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach location changes the Effective Velocity of every speed pitch. The pitch is \"Effectively\" faster or slower than the radar reading depending on the location. The baseballs below have numbers that represent the speed changes in Time Units. The +1 is not equal to 1 MPH but is equal to +1 Time Unit (Time Unit = time it takes the ball to travel 18\" at a given speed) which means at 90 MPH the Time Unit will equal just below 3 MPH faster than the radar reading.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eForeword For Downright Filthy Pitching by Tom House:\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eI was both flattered and proud when Perry Husband asked me to write the foreword for Filthy: The Science of Effective Velocity. This book is actually the first written material explaining a new way to look at how a hitter tries to match his bat speed to a pitcher's pitch speed and location. He has been working on identifying and quantifying these phenomena for two years. Just being involved in the development of a new pitching concept, with the strategies and tactics to back it up, would have been enough but this foreword gives me a forum to chronicle how a hitting guy came up with something that actually helps pitchers! So here goes. \"He knows how to pitch\". These 5 words are the ultimate compliment to any pitcher who has mastered his craft. As an ex-major league pitcher and pitching coach who currently instructs with information researched at our *NPA Motion Analysis Lab, I am always looking for ways to improve a pitcher's performance. We've known for years that pitchers must have enough real velocity (actual MPH's) and\/or perceived velocity (where release point distance can affect the perception of real velocity…1 foot of distance = 3 mph) to compete at higher levels. We know that elite pitchers locate, change speeds, and have late ball movement. We also know that elite pitchers must throw 3 pitches (fastball, breaking ball, change-up) to at least 2 locations (inside, outside) to compete successfully at higher levels. Obviously, commanding another pitch or two (cutter, split finger) to another location or two (up and in, down and away) is a bonus. What we didn't understand about elite pitchers (until Perry's R\u0026amp;D) is how to quantify their intuitive feel for putting all these pitching pieces together. That's what Filthy is all about….matching up real velocity, perceived velocity, and effective velocity with different pitches to different locations using a measurable protocol that will minimize a hitter's chance to make solid contact. \"It's a must read for every pitcher or pitching coach who wants to perform at the higher levels of competition. It's also a must read for every hitter or hitting coach who wants to perform at the higher level. The answer is obvious. There's something in this book for everybody in baseball.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tom House\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HittingStore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51333987991867,"sku":"H07-HG005","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/4658\/8987\/files\/downright-filthy-pitching-book-4.jpg?v=1781230207"},{"product_id":"downright-filthy-pitching-book-2-hitters-attention-theory","title":"Downright Filthy Pitching Book 2 - Hitters Attention Theory","description":"\u003cp\u003eDownright Filthy Pitching 2 - The Hitter's Attention Theory started as a theory based testing of amateur hitters and their ability to react to pitches with speed differentials. Through the Inside Edge database, statistical studies show that it is no longer just a THEORY.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When a hitter sees a pitch, the eyes drink in the pitch and immediately the brain calculates the velocity and when exactly the body would have needed to respond to that speed. The next pitch comes and the mind's eye drinks in that speed and because hitters are taught to REACT to try to hit all pitches, their attention goes to a point between the two speeds. The attention of hitters is trackable and controllable. Find out how you can control attention by the pitches thrown. This hitter is late on an up and inside fastball because his inner timing is set between fastball and some other speed pitch that he has in his memory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Are you controlling reaction time or being controlled by it?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 10 year old hitters can tell whether a pitch is inside or outside and\/or high and low within the first 10 feet of flight of the pitch. This was one of the first of many discoveries that lead to the uncovering of the most exciting NEW breakthrough in baseball and softball in the past 50 years. The pitcher versus hitter confrontation is one of the most complex sports activities there is. There is so little information that we are able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it has made the uncovering of the truth about velocity very elusive. That is until now. With the discovery of Effective Velocity and the uncovering of the Hitter's Attention Theory, pitching has just taken one giant step forward. Understanding reaction time and the physical limitations of hitters has catapulted pitchers into a position of dominance like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough the use of a 4 million pitch database thanks to the folks at Inside Edge, we have been able show that when pitchers throw Not At Risk pitches (pitches that are not headed toward 100% on time contact), batting averages go down 17%, well hit averages go down 26%, home run production goes down 19% and swing and miss percentages go up by 17%. Simply stated, when pitchers use time wisely, they are Downright Filthy. Now you can understand the principles that have been hidden since the first pitch was thrown over 100 years ago. Effective Velocity has been at work since that very first pitch, the fact that we haven't been aware of it is another issue completely. Well over 70% of all hard hit balls in our studies spanning a two year period at the major league level came as a result of a pitch that we call At Risk. In other words, when pitchers understand Effective Velocity, the mistake pitches that hitters have lived off of all these years will be cut down dramatically making hitting 20% harder than it has ever been.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Downright Filthy Pitching three book Series will walk you through the process of understanding this very basic concept that has been hidden for so long.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HittingStore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51333988024635,"sku":"H07-HG006","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/4658\/8987\/files\/downright-filthy-pitching-book-2-hitters-attention-theory-1.jpg?v=1781230207"},{"product_id":"wallet-workbook","title":"Wallet Workbook","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis simple to follow 150 page picture workbook fits in your pocket to take to the field or cage.

This is the first pitching book to apply science to the art of calling pitches.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Downright Filthy Pitching Series is about learning how to use that information to the fullest degree to maximize all of the ingredients that make pitchers truly Filthy.  Over 10 years of study and testing of amateur hitters and two years of intense study of major league at bats in a 4 million pitch database have led to some astonishing findings.  Hitters have an attention (an expectation of what pitch they are prepared for) that can be measured, tracked, predicted and even thrown around.  Through the study of time based statistics or the statistics that are directly related to how well timed the hitter is to the pitch, we can show you how major league hitters’ statistics are dramatically affected when pitchers throw pitch sequences that take advantage of the optimum Effective Velocities and locations.  Downright Filthy Pitching is not about statistics, even though they are used to prove the theories.  This work is designed to show you how to make statistics.  In the pitcher\/hitter confrontation, whoever controls time, wins.  It really is that simple.  Time is at work against you or for you all the time, do you know how well you use time?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HittingStore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51334000673083,"sku":"H07-HG007","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/4658\/8987\/files\/downright-filthy-pitching-book-3-the-science-of-pitch-sequencing-1.jpg?v=1781230512"},{"product_id":"hitting-fundamentals-dvd-rod-delmonico","title":"Hitting Fundamentals DVD by Rod Delmonico","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHitting Fundamentals DVD\u003c\/strong\u003e presents a detailed overview of the absolutes of hitting.
