Backyard Ground-Up Infield Velo Ladder: Build Throwing Velocity at Home
Build infield throwing velocity at home with almost no gear: climb a four-rung ladder from tall-kneel throws to a full replace-and-shuffle finish into a wall or net, adding lower-half momentum one rung at a time and logging your peak velo with a phone radar app.
⏱ ~20 min📋 4 rungs: tall-kneel 2x8, split-kneel stride 2x8, feet-set power step 3x6, replace-and-shuffle finish 3x6 (record velo on the last finisher set)
What you'll need
- Wall, garage door, backstop, or throwing net
- Baseballs or softballs (5-10)
- Painter's tape or chalk for a target box
- Phone velocity app or radar unit (optional but recommended)
- Towel or foam kneeling pad
