I want to be very clear here

I don’t teach velocity gains over everything

In the Veloclass -

I teach guys how to move and maximize that

In doing so - spin rates go up, consistency is main focus, velos climb

I don’t tell guys sacrifice strikes for velo

I would rather they throw 88 with 18” of run than a flat 90 that gets barreled

So we get 90 with 18” of run and great things happen

We also looked at offspeed and see what we can do there and with @TrackManBB we were able to help some guys develop a pitch that we can now map and locate, and still spin it at 3k for a strike

Repeatability is the key - if it looks like you are having a stroke when you pitch you are probably doing it wrong
- direction and repeating the same release is the key to throwing strikes (way more to throwing strikes with all the new data we can collect but this still applies)

You have to find the mindset that you are going to fight like a madman (without redlining too hard and getting an adrenaline dump)

You can’t doubt yourself if you prepared -if you didn’t prepare it is now your fault you lost 100% - if you did prepare then you compete to the max and let the cards fall where they may

This is just a little bit of it

Young pitchers

Leave no stone unturned

Do everything you can to keep the window open for your career

I’ve seen guys go from 88 at age 20 to 96 at age 24 and play professionally when they never imagined that happening

Once the window closes you can’t re-open it

Train to add 2-4 mph a year and see where it takes you

If you can do that and pitch a lil bit you’ll go farther than you would’ve otherwise

When the 2 seam / slider combo is clicking this guy can get anyone out

Velo has climbed since an arm injury before I met him

Lot to like and raising his ceiling each month

I feel like I said this 3-4 yrs ago and everyone lost their damn minds over it

Barry Bonds would’ve hit 100 more homers if he played at Yankee stadium for half his career
