Designed as a transitional tool, Flatwork is intended to be incorporated into your overall throwing program. Flatwork helps new and experienced pitchers focus on breaking down specific mechanics before progressing to a full-slope pitching mound, where more variability exists. When used in collaboration with experts, the Flatwork Pitching Bump is also a phenomenal tool for any pitcher working their way back from injury.
Why Flatwork?
Flatwork focuses on the foundational training practice of flat-ground throwing, which complements—but does not replace pitching from a mound. This is a valuable training tool used for developing specific mechanical skills, allowing for experimentation with less pressure, and for use during rehabilitation programs.
FEATURES
Optimized Elevation and Surface
Promotes efficient use of the lower body and proper body sequencing, as you can't rely solely on a full mound's downhill slope to generate velocity.
Transitional Training Tool
Acts as an intermediate step between pure flat-ground work and full-mound pitching, allowing for gradual progression and skill reinforcement.
Stable, Non-Slip Design
Provides a reliable surface that ensures a repeatable delivery, making it easier to monitor and adjust specific mechanical aspects like direction, timing, and release consistency.
Lightweight and Portable
Easily transported to various locations, making it a flexible part of off-season, daily training, or rehabilitation programs.
Injury Recovery Compatible
Can be incorporated into interval throwing programs, offering a less stressful way to gradually build arm strength and stamina when returning from injury or surgery.
Ideal for Skill Work
The lower intensity setting (typically 50–75% effort) is perfect for developing the "feel" for off-speed pitches and grips, correcting technique problems, and monitoring delivery on video.
