The faster you realize you aren’t the next Paul Skenes or Shohei Ohtani the better. Those guys are generational talents, you’d know if you were a generational talent or not. So stop dreaming, and start working if you wanna do something and be something great.

When you finally land a 0-0 changeup

Unfortunately the only way to tell if a pitch is actually good is against hitters over a decent amount of time. How do the hitters take it? How do they swing at it? When they hit it, how do they hit it? Can you throw it in any count? You aren’t gonna get that from a bullpen.

Failure is the fastest way to growth. Remember this and you’ll succeed.

The beautiful thing about training for pitching and competitive pitching is that nothing has to make sense to anyone except for the person doing it. All the drills, feels, mechanical cues people use, none of them matter, they’re all made up anyway. So do you, and be you.

So many people fail or severely limit their ability purely by just not being themselves. Unfortunately it’s this game, and a lot of people in the game weighing down on players. The vast majority of people are scared to let go and have fun with this game because of this.

I think pitchers routinely forget that hitters are inherently bad. A great hitter succeeds 3 out of 10 times. It seems obvious but so many times I see pitchers throwing timidly, like they’re the ones reacting to the hitter and are being hunted by the hitter.

Unfortunately for the old men shouting at clouds, everything about the skills of baseball has gotten and is getting better every year. Across the board. Pitchers, hitters, fielders, runners, umpires. It’s just the simple nature of it.

Bragging about throwing 100mph but having a sub 30% in zone rate with it is like bragging about having a manual transmission super car but not knowing how to drive a stick. Like yeah it’s cool to look at it, but that’s not the point of it.

If you can’t throw strikes at 90 why do you think you’ll magically transform into a command god when you do a velo program and throw 95 now? Hard balls are still balls. Pause.

You throw 90+ mph but think 2lb weights are gonna protect you and your arm?

I wish in post game interviews we could hear what these college kids were actually thinking instead of the PG version. I want some authentic stuff. Put it on a delay so you can bleep out all the expletives that are bound to happen or don’t.

Learn to make adjustments on the fly. If hitters are doing this against my plan A. I need to adjust and do my plan B. That’s during the outing, preferably that next at bat. Know what it looks like when hitters are on your plan A and make the adjustment as quick as you can.

Pitching should leave you as mentally drained as you are physically drained. It’s a game of “if this then that” each and every pitch. Read the swing, the situation you’re in, what you threw the pitch before, what he got out on last at-bat. Learn how to think about pitching.

Mass = gas to a certain extent More strength ≠ more velocity One thing that helps someone doesn’t mean it’ll help you. Everything is made up. Everyday we see something that works but our eyes and brain tell us it shouldn’t. What does that tell us?

In my personal experience, I learn mvmnt tasks, and skills quicker and more fully when I’m in a state of happiness/contentment. If your athletes are truly miserable, and unhappy with whatever drill they’re doing , do you think they’re getting the most out of it? Probably not.

Conviction and intent play hand in hand. Bad things happen when you hope and try to place stuff in the zone. You’ll subtly change mechanics if you back off, and over a long enough period it’ll stick More times than not, gripping and ripping shit will give you positive outcomes.

F off for a day. Have that pizza and a sweet treat. Play a game for your training, or don’t do anything at all. Do what gets your mentals back to 100% You’re gonna be worse off pushing through and draining yourself even further. Take a day.

Baseball doesn’t owe you anything. You owe it. Nothing in this world owes you a debt. That’s a losers mindset.
