- Pitchers use CoolMitt between innings to maintain velocity, command, & control for longer
- Catchers use CoolMitt to delay the heat induced fatigue from wearing gear on hot days, allowing them to maintain performance.
- All players can use during training to get more out of each workout and build greater training gains in strength and endurance.
CASE STUDY:
Major League Pitchers Using CoolMitt Maintained Velocity, Command, and Control
In a bullpen session, a group of Major League pitchers used CoolMitt between throwing sessions. Their protocol was as follows:
- Pitchers began with two sets of 5 pitches and worked up to three 15 pitch sessions
- 5 minute recovery breaks between sessions
- CoolMitt used between sessions on their non-throwing hand for 3 minutes between each interval
- Rapsodo technology was used to assess ball flight data
Results of using CoolMitt:
- Top velocity of fastball and breaking pitches maintained vs. typical declines of 0.5-2mph when not using CoolMitt
- Rapsodo measurements showed better command and consistency in their areas of analytical specialty (spin rates, vertical and horizontal break, spin efficiency) in sessions using CoolMitt
- Reduced sweating and feeling of being more prepared for the next pitch session - moisture increases the risk of blisters forming on fingers
How CoolMitt Works
The palm of the hands have a unique vascular structure that serves as radiators for the human body. When excess heat build, the hands vasodilate and release heat 5X greater than other skin surface areas. CoolMitt boosts this cooling process by drawing away heat and sending cooled blood to the core to cool from the inside out.
.
- As you compete or train, your muscles heat up.
- To stop the rising temperature, your body cuts the supply of energy (ATP) to the working muscles.
- As a result you begin to experience fatigue.
- The CoolMitt rapid thermal exchange mitt contacts the hand, pulls away heat, and sends cooled blood to the heart to cool you from the inside out.
- The result? Your body is cooled up to 3X faster in just minutes allowing you to do more of whatever comes next.
Heat is the Enemy of High Performance
CoolMitt cools the body up to 3X faster in just minutes so players can delay fatigue, improve endurance increase power and extend performance
Testimonials
NCAA Division 1 Baseball Athletic Trainer
For our starting pitchers they reported feeling more ‘fresh’ going out, especially on warmer days. It’s convenient because they can have their glove hand in the CoolMitt and still keep their pitching arm warm, and it didn’t really disrupt their overall routine.
