Tough to put into words how proud of this I am quite honestly. Thank you for really LISTENING to the message. This guy made me a better coach and allowed me to really be confident in my process as a young coach trying to make an impression on young ballplayers. Congrats my man 👊🏼

Pitching, in its most general sense, is the disruption of a hitter's timing. Inducing weak contact, or swings and misses, is the goal. Greg Maddux told me one time, during my first WBC when he was the @WBCBaseball @USABaseball pitching coach, that every pitch he delivered was

Floating into foot strike and then ⚡️

Gonna jump off the page soon. Whether it be in the OF or on the mound. Loves to be challenged, has the presence of a future pro.

To perform your best under pressure, you must overcome the fear of failure, which is the root cause of nervousness.

The winningest pitcher in our program’s history is still #uncommitted

I can promise this one is going to continue to climb. Makeup beyond his years, dedicated to his craft, and someone who raises the bar for every pitcher who walks into our building in terms of what the standard is both on and off the field.

Proud of this group! When expectations aren’t sky high and you lose the fear of failure, all that’s left to do is play ball!

Probably got caught staring at the pitchers ankles…balks are dead and so are socks apparently

If you throw mid 9s and have thrown under 20 college innings at your mid major (or a “lower level”), the answer is not the transfer portal. The answer is learn how to pitch.

Don’t be surprised when this kid becomes an absolute player at the next level. One of the ones you love putting on the same jersey as. Super competitor with a high motor! Go get him!!

Didn’t take a hitter off. Gas pedal for 7 innings with his best stuff in the zone when he needed to be, and out of the zone when he wanted to be. Great job JT

This is absolutely absurd

GIRD or Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit is often blamed for injury. Determining whether it’s actually part of the problem requires looking at the full picture. You need to determine if it’s functional or pathological 🧵

I urge any college coach not to miss on this one. Bar raiser!

Selfless individual and a guy that I want in my foxhole

Yes! Nikolai Bernstein first proved this principle in the 1920s. The most elite movers or those with the higher level of skills take different paths yet have greater accuracy in performance. It’s not the ability ti repeat, it’s the ability to feel the difference in reps & adjust.

The first thing every young player should prioritize is getting stronger and faster. 99% of players will never have the chance to gain MLB caliber skills because they’ll never develop MLB caliber strength and speed. The smaller you are, the more you need ELITE athleticism.

“non-tryers”

Brian Garman, a very highly regarded pitching coach in the #Reds organization who has coached at Dayton for several years, has been promoted to minor league pitching coordinator. Bryan Conger remains as the senior pitching coordinator.
