An insightful study on where/how to generate velocity
Tom House, and NPA contributors, presents an in-depth look at velocity and how it can be safely developed. Details on where velocity gets generated, and how to condition the total body to maximize a pitcher’s genetic potential. Topics covered include rotational and directional momentum, timing, and fastball velocity, the biomechanical derivation of real velocity, how the legs, hips & shoulders, and spine & torso contribute to the mechanics of real velocity, prehabilitation training regimens, and much more.

It's all about captured moments
The Picture Perfect Pitcher by Tom House, Paul Reddick. 76 pages and 130 pictures that speak volumes. Copyright 2003. Considering all the words written on pitching over the years - especially by Tom House himself - this has to be one of the most unexpected books... almost all pictures. It attacks conventional wisdom (including his own) and boils the mechanics down to elegant simplicity. It reduces the whole teach / non-teach debate down to the essentials.
The core of your functional training program
By Tom House. The most famous pitching instructor in baseball "combines his on-field experiences, weight-room workouts, and years of research to deliver proven, practical applications that will strengthen your pitching throughout the year." Those aren't our words, they're Randy Johnson's from the forward of this book. To that praise we can only add that WebBall is a stronger support of Tom House. Although published in 1996, and Tom's thinking seems to evolve each year, we still recommend this book as the core of a functional strength training program for any pitcher of any age.
