Feel Good Friday! Feeding the arm through some long toss working into compression throws. Throw it far on an arc, pull it down hard on a line. Great for improving arm strength, endurance, athleticism, feel and much more!

Yesterday I had to muzzle 8 or so guys trying to go full tilt before their body is ready Not conditioning the arm and trying to throw as hard as you can is a cardinal sin in my book Once it’s in shape let the dog off the leash Until then don’t be stupid with your workload

This hit me pretty hard since I found out a couple days ago. If you’re involved in Baseball, please say a prayer for our brother Lantz Wheeler. His life is hanging in the balance and his family needs all the prayers they can get.

Cam Schlitter's average velocity freshman year of college at Northeastern was 88.8mph. By his junior year, it was 90.4mph. Last night, it was 98.9mph. So maybe don't worry if your 15-year-old son isn't already committed to a SEC program?

Had a guy say “I can’t gain weight” Then we tracked his calories 1900/day His estimated BMR was 2400 a day Dude was starving himself -no wonder On the flip side had a D1 guy gain 20lbs by being forced to eat and chug milk like it’s his job - it is - and he’s better off now
