not yet! Still waiting for an opportunity to get back out there, in the meantime getting ready for a bullpen this Friday. Looking at buying a new pitching ninja shirt, which one do you think has 100 in it? 👀
Rob Friedman, better known as

Surround yourself with people who encourage you to try new things, fail, learn from those failures, succeed and repeat!
Been getting tagged in a lot of “this coach/program produced this player” tweets.
No one coach or program produces a great athlete. The great athletes produce themselves with the help of a bunch of people.
The greats pursue knowledge, then apply what works for themselves.

this is my first time coming across this page. After a hard 5 seconds of reading this tweet and contemplating why ANYBODY would be this disrespectful, I can’t help but wonder if you even considered that he had family and loved ones? This is shameful. Reconsider this.

If you look up perseverance in the dictionary this mans picture will be next to it. Started at 60 mph. Fought through multiple injuries and more set backs than any player I’ve ever had. He just keeps marching forward. 90 mph turn n burn, 84-85 flat ground.

I signed for the 2023 season in August of 2022, hadn’t played since 2019 and had a rough first half of the season! But found another opportunity in the AA, which is the stat line I shared once I made an adjustment on the mound and cut my walks in half
@B_Gumbo30
Pitchers who obsess over the process, rather than live and die on each outing. They understand the season is long and if they continue to trust the process their chances of success are much higher
Extremely excited to be continuing my education back where it all started! As I continue to chase the dream of playing baseball, something in the back of my mind had been telling me to always prepare for the next…

Love this, there’s been a huge step in knowledge of biomechanics in the game today but a lack of conveying the message efficiently to players. Coaching is a language, not a textbook!

your roommate can’t even get a tag in this?? Brutal!! You should tell people the next true story of how you lost a bicep measuring contest to a relief pitcher and got busted doing chair dips in the locker room during the entire game 😏

I was thinking rock the hoodie to the facility, stretch and get loose in it and when it’s time to go, go to the red shirt? Especially if it helps with analytics? 👀
No words have ever been more accurate right now than the ones John Anderson gave to us in this clip. Blessed to have played for him back in 2011-2013, and even more blessed to have had more opportunities to learn from him this previous fall semester!
Recently I’ve had the pleasure of testing the PitchLogic made by F5 Sports and I really wanted to put this tool to the test before I made a post and I’m really glad I did!
