Maybe I am bias but I truly believe that the best High School baseball is in Northern California. It is unbelievable how much talent is in this area. It makes recruiting athletes so much fun .

Never really understood why kids choose to go to D1 programs to ride the bench and not play, or get 15 ABs or throw 7 innings for their first 2 years. Wouldn’t you much rather play, get 100 ABs, or throw 50+ innings and be a dude at a good JC program instead? Must be the clout.

Baseball athletes the only way to be ELITE is by training and developing. 90% of HS and College athletes should train over summer instead of playing summer ball. You cannot fix things/develop if you’re always playing. You cannot work on a race car if it is always on the track..

At Sierra we have our pitchers throw off a mound as much as possible. We don’t need guys blowing gas everyday. We have our guys on the slope playing catch, shortboxing, rhythm throwing, or penning with a guy down at different intensities. We have seen an uptick in K%.

If you’re a baseball athlete (athlete in general) that wants to play at the highest level and the most work you do is at practice you are only letting yourself down . The athletes at the highest level are doing before, during, and after practice work.

Do you struggle throwing a Change-Up? Many pitchers do. It requires feel and there are multiple types. Try a Splitter? Why? 1. Easy to throw. It is a FB with a split finger grip. 2. Looks like a FB out of the hand 3. Soft contact 4. High Swing and Miss Rate 5. They are nasty

Struggle throwing strikes? Play great catch. It is the foundation of pitching. Keep it simple before adding complex movements or throws. As you get better add drill work. Make every throw to your partner at every distance you’re at. Command & Feel will improve drastically.

Pitchers hit the checkpoints in your delivery & catch the sequence down the mound. It is about your timing down the slope. Catch the energy waves & hit the sequence during leg lift, coil, hand break, in arm swing , at FP, at layback, and release.

Pitchers there are no quick fixes or one drill to help you be an elite pitcher. It’s takes persistence, hard work , and dedication. You have to eat right, sleep right, do the work everyday. Use your time wisely and track what you are doing. If you need help find a professional.

Want to be a contributing factor for your College team as a Freshman. You have to start preparing for College while you are in High School. The biggest difference I notice from level to level is maturity and physicality. You must look and act the part if you want a role.

The mental side Something we do before every game . We get our mind right. We stay calm and relaxed in any situation. We work on all positive thoughts here. The mind is powerful. You can talk yourself into being successful and you can talk yourself out of being successful.
