Every offseason, pitchers rush to throw plyo balls, but many use the wrong weights. Here’s the rule of thumb for safe, effective baseball velocity training: stay within 20% of a 5oz baseball. That means sticking to 4oz or 6oz plyo balls to protect your arm and keep your mechanics consistent.For youth pitchers, developing players, or athletes struggling with command, throwing a wide range of heavy and ultra-light plyos does more harm than good. It disrupts your release point and makes it harder to throw strikes. Remember, on the mound the distance never changes, mastering consistency is your biggest advantage.When used correctly, plyo balls improve pitching mechanics, sequencing, timing, and arm path, all while supporting long-term arm health. Dialing in the right routine will help you build velocity, efficiency, and durability. The CHIPS Plyo Balls were designed for healthy, simple, and effective development. They’re durable, hittable, and perfect for pitchers at every level, but inventory is extremely limited. Grab your CHIPS Plyos before they sell out and level up your pitching this offseason.

We’ve been quietly developing something special inside our facility, elite-grade training balls built specifically for pitching machines and high-intensity reps. These balls are insanely durable. We put them through months of abuse with multiple college hitters, and they held up better than anything we’ve ever tested. The feel off the barrel is unmatched, they don’t sting your hands, and they’re perfect for hitting, fielding, blocking, and catching drills. Honestly, we never planned to sell them. We made them for our own training environment, but they turned out to be a happy accident, the best machine balls we’ve ever used. After beating them down day after day, they’re still in incredible shape.If you want high-performance, long-lasting training balls for your team, facility, or personal reps, these are it.Grab yours before they’re gone.

One of my favorite pancake drills, and one you almost never see being run, is the paddle bobble drill. Throw on a pancake. Knock the ball down on purpose. Bare-hand the bobble. Pick it up clean and finish the throw.Get your own CHIPS Pancake AmbiMitts on our shop. Two things this drill builds that nothing else does as fast. First, it forces a steep glove angle. If your glove is flat, the ball ricochets off and out of reach. The pancake teaches the player before the coach has to say a word. Second, it trains panic out of bobbles. The difference between an out and an error isn’t whether you bobble it. It’s what you do in the half-second after.
