    Velocracy Camp Recap

    Citius x Velocracy

    The Velocracy pitching operating system focuses on the
    development of mechanics and pitchers becoming a complete pitcher. These days, most
    pitching programs are built around simply throwing as hard as possible. Pitchers are often
    unaware or forget that there are many other factors to developing ones velocity.
    Velocracy development includes:
    - arm health
    - pitching command
    - throwing velocity
    - pitching mechanics
    - development of the off speed pitches
    - learning to attack hitters
    - pitch sequence
    - recovery
    - video analysis
    - library of pitching drills
    - proper warm-ups
    - pregame preparation

We are torn between the blue with gold  and the white with piping. We are especially fond of the all grays v-neck jersey.
