🎄⚾️ 7 days until Christmas

In 2025 the Flyers finished T-7th in NCAA DII with a 9.3 K/9

✈️ Seven Pitchers had 1+ K per IP

✈️ Our 5 starters averaged a 9.23 K/9

Pitching isn’t all about strike outs.
But relentless pressure on hitters from high execution levels will create opportunities to put hitters away

🎄⚾️ 9 days until Christmas

Command starts in the strike zone. This fall, these nine pitchers led our staff in In-Zone%

With modern pitch tracking and umpire scoring, living in the zone is nonnegotiable. Need to control the strike zone prior to commanding it, trust your stuff!

Shoutout to Chris Langin @LanginTots13 opened my eyes and changed how I teach command. The zone isn’t changing, how they call it is.

🎄⚾️ 10 days until Christmas

Today, I will acknowledge these 10 arms that averaged single digit carry change-ups. This fall we’ve been leveraging change-up data and seam shift effects to optimize pitch profiles.

The goal: Build an arsenal to go compete with elite confidence & create consistencies to be able to make pitch to pitch adjustments.

🎄⚾️ 11 days until Christmas

The Flyers pitching staff finished 11th in Division 2 for K/BB ratio at a remarkable 2.51 in the spring of ‘25 .

I want to recognize five dominant performers from this past fall. These individuals focused maintaining count leverage and competing in the strike zone.

🎄⚾️ The 12 days of Lewis Pitching

We’ll start with everyone’s favorite, the Heat Sheet
