"The Pitchers Power Drive is a great tool to help baseball pitchers with their weight transfer. Its not only provides the pitcher with a balanced transfer but it gives auditory feedback so the pitcher can repeat his delivery. This is a tremendous product for pitchers!" - Steve Foster

"The pitchers power drive is a tremendous training device that teaches pitchers the correct way to transfer their weight down the mound using their legs."- Rick Knapp

Drew Storen (Washington Nationals RHP, 2009 1st round draft pick out of Stanford)

“I first tried the Pitcher’s Power Drive at my off-season workout facility. I’m not really into gimmicks, but this product is something that has been very important to get the most of my body when I’m on the hill. The movement created by the Power Plate is essential to getting maximum results in my motion. Most every pitcher I’ve shown is a fan of the Pitcher’s Power Drive.”

Ryan Tatusko, Texas Rangers Farmhand

"The Pitchers Power Drive is THE tool for any pitcher that is looking to learn more about their mechanics. The PPD will help you with your timing and understanding of what it truly means to be behind the baseball, you WILL improve with this. I am personally addicted, and cannot get enough of it."

I like the product and have been using it in my lessons. Ironically the day that it came in I had a student who did not utilize the rubber very well and this unit fixed it. Great product.

There is no question that it will help you use your legs better and help you increase velocity potential.

It has saved me from using other “creative” and ineffective ways to cure a bad leg drive.

Derek Johnson

Associate head coach and pitching coach at Vanderbilt 2004 National Pitching Coach of the Year

Derek Johnson is now in his eighth season as an assistant coach for the Commodores and is widely considered one of the top pitching coaches in the country. Four of his last six staffs have led the Southeastern Conference in ERA while also being ranked nationally at No. 15 (2003), No. 7 (2004) and No. 17 (2005) and No. 13 (2007), respectively.

He is known for developing pitchers during their time at Vanderbilt with 18 pitchers drafted over the last eight seasons (10 over the last three) including three first round selections.

"The Pitcher’s Power Drive is a very nice tool. We have been using the home-made wooden “k-boards” for quite some time, but they pale in comparison to this product. They are sturdy yet portable and the auditory clicking feature is great for giving prompt feedback, making it easy for the pitcher and coach to use. Using the lower half of the body is a hard concept for most pitchers to understand let alone implement, so this may serve as another piece to solving that puzzle. Definitely a good tool for improving efficiency and velocity." - Derek Johnson

Jason Howell
University of North Carolina at Wilmington Pitching coach

Our guys work hard every day trying to develop and maintain a consistent release point for better strikes and to improve and maintain velocity. Weather it is on the practice field or in Camps, the Pitchers Power Drive is an aid that gives instant feedback that lets our guys feel and understand the concept of keeping their weight back while still driving forward thus helping them repeat a consistent delivery that maximizes their bodies potential.

Here at UNCW the Pitchers Power Drive is a tool used not only throughout our pitching staff to help develop consistency but also on a daily basis during camp to help teach concept of staying back over the rubber while still driving forward with the lower half.

Dave Smith
Pitching CoachTrinity University

In just the year that we have had the device, a great deal of learning has been done by both myself and the staff. Everyone watched a quick, easy to understand video, and now we simply roll out the power drive along with a portable mound and start listening to clicks while doing towel drills or throwing into pitching pads. Just five minutes every day for extra feedback has really allowed the guys a chance to understand more clearly how the lower half really can work. It’s easy to talk about using your legs more in pitching, it’s more applicable to get on the Power Drive and actually learn what that means. In season it’s just another station of work for our guys, out of season, we really get involved in drills and actually throw bullpens with it. I’d recommend the Pitcher’s Power Drive to anyone who wants to “get more out of the lower half of the body or get more linked.”

As a PGA Professional and 2X world Long Drive Champion I know how imperative sound mechanics are when maximizing ones potential. That is why when I first saw a demonstration of the Pitchers Power Drive I instantly knew they were on the mark. I then purchased one for my son. The results were as expected. His speed and control improved. Every great athlete plays their sport from the ground up using their legs, hips and core as their primary accelerator. This is as true in Golf as it is in Baseball. Unfortunately some who know little and tout themselves as experts would not appreciate what the Pitchers Power Drive truly does.  If you have any background in sound mechanics and the efficiency of the throwing motion you will appreciate the fundamental purity of the Pitchers Power Drive. To be the best do what the best do. Throw from the ground up and use your big muscles

James Miglin,

John

Thank you so much for the Pitchers Power Drive! I have been using it the past couple of days and can really feel the difference in how I am using me
legs and the power I am getting behind the ball. I am really glad I saw this down in Georgia and am able to use it now. When I first learned the basics
of it and how easy the fix really is, "I gained a 2 - 4 m.p.h. right away during my next game and look forward to working towards more. I recommend this product to any pitcher out there that is looking to throw the right way and increase the speed of their fastball. Great product!! "

Thank You

James

SAN DIEGO, Calif.

For the 10th consecutive year Collegiate Baseball is rolling out its Best of Show story which showcases the most innovative new baseball products that were displayed at the recent American Baseball Coaches Association Convention in San Diego. The 64th annual convention featured 264 exhibitors, an all-time high for a west coast convention. Collegiate Baseball and I search the trade show floor for products and
services that are considered unique and useful for coaches. These awards have become quite popular with both the vendors and our readers. Perhaps this year is a
good time to review why we do this. First of all, we appreciate innovation and quality. We understand how hard it is to bring new products to the market. There is no single #1 product. They are all #1 in our eyes. As it turns out, the products selected this

Pitchers Power Drive
A unique, new tool for pitchers was a huge hit at the ABCA Convention. It is a pivoting piece of strong steel that is put in front of the pitching rubber and teaches pitchers to start their delivery from knee lift towards home plate by initiating the starting force with their back
standing leg knee, which loads their weight back.
This initiates the kinetic power chain of throwing a baseball and creates more power into landing. The back side power initiation with weight back creates more force at pitch landing by speeding the hips, torso and arm speed creating a more explosive pitch delivery. John Miller, a former college pitcher and owner of Winning Pitchers Baseball Academy, designed the Pitchers Power Drive to increase his velocity and use in training others at his academy. Pitchers have increased speed from 4-10 mph. The Pitchers Power Drive, which is built like a tank and weighs 18 pounds, costs $215.95.
