If you've ever had the chance to watch Tom House work with pitchers - from the youngest youth leaguers to the most established pros - you realize somthing about him. 2 things really. 1) He is a great teacher. And 2) He does this because he wants to - he brings such a positive attitude and passion to the art and science of pitching instruction. - Richard Todd, WebBall

This book substantiates some of the theories and debates in pitching circles in recent years on where velocity comes from. The research on rotational velocity supports the prior discoveries of others and the proven backshaping training approach used by Ron Wolforth. Unfortunately it fails to give them credit where due, but aside from that likely unintentional oversight, and a failure to cite Perry Husband when discussing "effective velocity", this Tom House edited book has much to recommend it. There are meaningful biomechanics sections, some great conditioning routines, and a more detailed explanation of the weighted ball routine of Coop DeRenne. Should be in your library; will definitely have an impact on your pitching performance.- Richard Todd, WebBall

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.

When this came out in 2006 it was the best new book on the mechanics of pitching I'd seen in years. It is solid reference material. Covers most everything we need to know and should teach, and does it well. - Richard Todd, WebBall

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.
