Kids be like “Ill go to a good JC or good d2 so I can be a starter right away”. Newsflash: powerhouse JC and D2 pitching staff are usually better and deeper than your run of the mill D1 mid major. Not a stab at d1, kids just need to see before they assume!
Hey HS kids, this is what a PR is supposed to look like...smooth, under control, and in a competitive location. NOT delivery flailing all over the place, missing the zone by multiple feet, and using so much effort you clearly wouldn’t and couldn’t pitch near that velo in a game.
A few weeks ago we said he was going to throw 100 one day, and
@CalvinStarnes
almost did it today. Getting to velo ceiling extremely quickly. 96-99 in his pen today, with a 100 on rapsodo.

We are proud to announce we have officially agreed to terms on a new space for our building. Located 2 miles down the road, we will have close to 2x as much space at close to 24,000 sq ft, with upwards of 30k in 3 yrs @ the same location. Couldn’t be more excited to keep growing!
Ty Hill of Ball State is one of many throwing 95+ here this summer. Ty has made some mechanica timing tweaks smoothing out his delivery, leading to much easier and consistent velocity. Oh, and he has a wipeout 🔨 too.
When you know, you know.
@TirottaR
brings his homer total this spring to 10 with a great weekend at the dish. Now hitting .328 with 1.140 OPS and 19 XBH 💪
@DaytonBaseball
If college and/or HS baseball seasons are called off, we will have an indoor cage league for reps and scouting purposes, open to college coaches and scouts to attend. Details and coverage information to follow as more information becomes available.
Pretty easy 101.4 today from
@DannyCody13
(Astros). Danny completed his brief 2.5 week ‘gas camp’ phase after a 5+ week onramp. Danny will start to transition to the mound here shortly at low effort, building up over the next 6-8 wks working on various execution/mechanical goals.

@HurstBaseball
infielder Jack Elliot said he wanted to work on pitching over winter break, had never thrown a college inning. Safe to say its gone pretty well!! Has been up to 95 this winter break, shown here firing clean 94s, w/ sharp 81-85mph SLs, slurvy 78-80 CB

Still mid demo, but we are rolling! Middle wall and wooden structure still being taken down, but a move is immenent. We couldn’t be more excited, and we are so pumped to continue to improve the training experience for all of our guys.

@DannyCody13
(Astros) ramping up, still a couple pens away from cutting it loose, cruised in the low 90s today. If this offseason has shown us something, its that when you get stronger, sequence better, and move more efficiently, pitchers FB spin rate really start to jump.

@sampece7
has had a nice offseason, been regularly up to 87 the past few pens, with more coming. Delivery in an awesome spot. Has also really developed with the stick too.

Texas Tech LHP
@jakob_bru
’s summer has been catered to his needs. You don’t need to actively train velo when you’ve already touched 97. Bru’s summer has revolved around breaking ball shape and mobility work to smoothen out his delivery. Bru has a real shot to touch 💯 next spring

@bryceamos35
has been working his tail off this winter, driving well over 2 hours each way twice a week every week this offseason, and its paying off! Sat 87-90 today with great FB life, and improved control for the zone. Flipped over some good high spin SL up to 79 too!
Robinson Cano Drill:
•Putting the Tee outside and feeding balls all around the plate gives the hitter a visual of working inside and through vs cast & spin.
•Having a connected turn with good direction leads to the barrel staying through the ball longer.

live today, FB 92-96 mostly 95, SL 83-87 (2500 avg), CB 78-82 (2560 avg 2700 peak), CH 84-85 not shown. Special arm, specia athlete. Whats scary is there is projection left, and he gets to those 5s and 6s pretty easy already...

For those out there wondering, this is what a future 100mph arm looks like. Long, lean, mobile, and athletic. Gets into some pretty elite positions, and still has room to grow from a stability and explosiveness standpoint.
#DudeAlert
Coach, is the gun broken? It keeps sayin 95.
@jakob_bru
looked great today, didn’t throw a FB below 95, breaking ball for Ks at 81-84, CH 88-89 with fade. Force to be reckoned with for Texas Tech

was pretty good yesterday, 91-93T93.4 via

w/ huge HB numbers up to 20 of run. SL peaked out at 86, peaking in 2900s and 18inch of sweep. CH might be best pitch in future, turns it over as good as anyone, up to -6VB(!!!) and 12-15 run. Big ceiling!

Train and perfect your low effort delivery, so you know where your engine is at full effort. The premier JC arm in the country
@HParks_9
working on just that today in his flat, 75% effort here, about as easy a 92 as you’ll ever see. Future 💯mph arm, and that future may be soon👀
If this is your first pen of the year, you’re probably gonna have a good year. Nice light work from

yesterday @ 80-85% effort, 93-95 with those secondaries🤢Up to 99 this past summer/fall at alternate site/instructs, I think we may see triple digits from SJ in ‘21.

When your main cue for velocity is intent, you are going to run into a wall pretty quickly. When you aim to create a great delivery and functional body, you end up working towards this.
