Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander once hit 102 mph on the radar gun. During his no-hitter against the Brewers in June ’07, he was clocked at 101 mph in the ninth inning!
Justin’s raw and lasting velocity originates from his powerful lower body. Whether you’re driving off a mound or running through tacklers, Justin’s lower body strength program, compliments of Tigers strength coach Javair Gillett, will significantly improve your power output.
