The most important coaching video of the offseason dropped… and almost nobody saw it.
In this video, I break down key points from Joonas Merela’s analysis on the kinetic chain, pelvis rotation, trunk acceleration, and arm timing.
We cover:
Why pelvic speed does not strongly correlate with disc speed
Why the trunk is the engine — but only for a specific window
When trunk acceleration should stop
Why most players over-rotate
Why “just fire the hips” is not a complete explanation
Why arm timing matters more than most people think
This isn’t about copying Joonas.
And it’s not about copying me.
It’s about understanding what the data actually says so you can make better decisions about who and what you listen to.
You don’t need to understand biomechanics to throw farther.
But you should understand enough to recognize when coaching language is based on reality — and when it’s just someone’s feel presented as fact.
If you’re serious about improving, you eventually have to decide whether you want instruction built around what we can measure… or around what sounds good.
That’s what this video is about.
