00:00- If you weigh less than 150lbs you shouldn’t be at a showcase event or tournament. You should be at Chipotle.
- Where HS throwers think they’ll gain velocity: one-on-one lessons with a throwing instructor. Where HS throwers REALLY gain velocity: the weight room and kitchen.
- In case you were curious how your glove arm should work to accelerate rotation of the torso.
00:00 - HS dudes: Think of the best player on your HS team. It’s extremely likely that guy barely plays on his college team next season. THAT’s how much better college baseball is.It’s truly mind blowing the difference between High School baseball and college baseball. And the unfortunate reality is those in HS generally have no idea.
- Yea the weight room doesn’t matter. Just keep weighing 145lbs and everything will work out.alright then
- Don’t like hitter’s batflipping? Don’t give up dingers. Pretty simple solution.
00:00 - Great pitch to end an MVP season.Jacob deGrom, Painted 92mph Slider. 🎨👨🎨🖼️ [1000th K of his career, 10thk/110th pitch of the game....and final pitch of an incredible season] And, a well-earned big smile. de-🐐
GIF - I think @PFAbaseball may be onto something 🤔 Athlete said he felt his arm action was “way smoother and easier” than it has ever been.
00:00 - I’m teaching this pitch to every pitcher on the staff this year. We won’t lose a game.Luis Castillo, Dotted 100mph Two Seamer. 😯 Wow.
00:00 - It’s a real jackass move to hit in a cage and not pick the balls up when you’re done.
- It never ceases to amaze me how willing parents/players are to buy a $300 bat and $200 glove but won't invest in a 3 month strength program...
- I do the same thing in coach-Pitch intrasquads throwing 71 by a guy.Aroldis Chapman, 100mph Fastball...and Stare.
