A little about myself, I was a tall, skinny, unathletic high schooler throwing 81-84 my senior year of high school with little to no interest from schools. I knew I had the talent somewhere inside me, I just didn’t know how to get there. A walk on at a small mid major I was about to get cut, but in 4 months I went from 82-85 to 90-92. Fast forward 2 years I went from walk on to being drafted by the Colorado Rockies. 2 years after that I began training all levels of players from middle school all the way to current professionals. What pitching coaches won’t tell you is that learning the correct way to throw is only about half the battle. The other half is getting after it in the weight room, in the kitchen, and most importantly in your own head.
