National Pitching Association – Tom House

The National Pitching Association is comprised of a team of highly talented management and coaching staff that works closely with an all star advisory board.

These entities inside the NPA are dedicated to learning and imparting all there is to know about pitching; mechanics, conditioning, mental aspects, coaching techniques, diet and health aspects.
As the NPA learns more by completing more research, the NPA will be channeling this information to the public through our schools, camps, products, and informational website. We love the game of baseball and are committed to helping anyone who wants to coach, play, advise, or support young athletes, do so, with as much correct and up-to-date information as possible.

GuessWorks – Perry Husband

Effective Velocity is the study of pitch velocity and how location and velocity together change the hitters' reaction time.
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 lead to some astonishing findings.

|
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. Effective Velocity is really understanding timing, the most important element in the battle of pitcher versus hitter.
