I think all pitchers can pitch in college.
It’s just about how early they start to take it seriously.

Instead of posting your stats on Twitter and hoping to be seen.
Why not reach out to the school you want to go to via call or email and ask them.
“Hi, I’m … from … I play … where do I need to be at to be apart of your program?”
Just a thought.

Any mechanical adjustment that you make will put slightly different stresses on your arm.
It is very important that when you are going on some adjustments to start slow and work your way up in intensity.

1. Tempo
After peak leg lift, your tempo needs to match your effort level.
Low effort bullpens can help get the feel of this.
Most players keep the same slower tempo but, try to add velo at the very end of the delivery which locks you up🔒

3. Back Leg Extension Before Rotation

Coaches,
If you feel like there is a disconnect between you and your players try this.
Schedule out a day each week to do individual meetings with each player and just talk about them. Get to know them more as a player. Share with them and understand them.

The difference between a good HS pitcher and a great HS pitcher is the ability to throw 2 pitches for strikes compared to 1.
- Having repeatable mechanics on 2 pitches and feeling comfortable to throw them whenever will do WONDERS.

To "recreate" the same feel for "release point". You need to be throwing a standing partner.
This also is why guys struggle to throw through the baseball on the mound.
The k zone can be adjusted to the following...
Standing Shoulders - Top
Standing Hips - Bottom

Your catch partner should know everything you are trying to work on.

Do not do the recruiting for your kids.
Help them with it as much as you can, but don’t do it for them.
It is much more important to have them realize that they are in control of their own destiny.

Coming from a JUCO to a D1 school.
If you want to get recruited from a JUCO you either need to easily stand out in the ENTIRE CONFERENCE.
or
Your team needs to win.
Winners get recruited first, they must be doing something right

Fielding your position as a pitcher is important…
But there is a reason that as a pitcher you are NOT supposed to touch the ball unless it is absolutely necessary in a fielding situation.
Your finish should be natural. Let you body do what it wants in order to decelerate.

@SwagnShades
Honestly loved it as a pitcher.
When I talk to guys about picking targets we go off of the catchers body, not necessarily where the glove is.
For example, if I want to throw a back door 2-seam on a FB away, I am aiming at the catchers shoulder so it works back to the glove

Nate Eovaldi gave up 5 HR’s in an inning.
Is he still a great pitcher? Yes
Same guy that carved in the playoffs? Yes
Does he still throw 100mph? Yes

Do your guys look forward to showing up to practice even though you make them work hard?
It is my understanding if you communicate well, you can push your players as hard as you can and they will still show up everyday ready to ride.

Zak, the game is a little different now then when you were playing in 13. Especially playing those big schools, it gets chippy.
I’m sure the coaches are not okay with that, but in the moment you need to let the kids find an edge and speak with them about it later.
Win the game

If you don’t have any routine. Start with push ups & sit ups in the morning or afternoon.
It doesn’t sound like much but push ups help with shoulder stability.
Build consistency in a routine then move up to bigger things that fall in line with your routine

Looking to start an educational convo.
Why do people ice after games?
Ice is used to stop inflammation
Inflammation is your body’s natural way of healing something
Does ice really help after throwing or does it slow the recovery process and just make the area feel better?

Parents… some of these highschool coaches are more qualified to teach social studies than to coach baseball.
Players respect your coaches and also realize that this is your career, not your coaches. It’s your responsibility not theirs.

This is also why we preach the importance of staying back & not working a heavy drift when throwing flat-ground bullpens.
It is very easy to get forward with these with lateral posture.
Which only gets worse when adding the slope.

Professional baseball players get to the field 4-6 hours before the game not including the time time they spent in the gym that day.
Although they don’t have “practice” they work on the little things every single day.
