Of course velocity matters. The velo bros are right. Of course pitch movement and angles/deception matters. The stuff+ bros are right. Of course command is important. The Maddux-era boomers are right. Of course mental toughness is important. The Omaha Challenge we-are-navy-seals college coaches are right. Of course strength and power are important. The “that-was-all-you!” 1RM-testing-obsessed college S&C coaches are right. They’re all right. But they’re often only looking at one piece of the puzzle. How do you balance training demands and shift priorities as the athlete adapts, ages and hits plateaus? That’s the whole ballgame.

I see pitchers who look unbelievable with plyos, med balls, constraint drills, etc. Then they get on the mound… …and everything disappears. That doesn’t mean the drill didn’t work….It means you haven’t finished the transfer. A drill removes variables. The mound adds them back. Now the athlete has to manage: • a leg lift • forward momentum • timing • direction • ground force • rotation • arm action • intent • AND throwing a baseball to a target All at once. So if you’re chasing a mechanical change, don’t jump from: Drill → 100% mound Build the bridge. Drill ↓ Blend the drill into a throw ↓ Low-intent mound ↓ Higher-intent mound ↓ Bullpen ↓ Hitter ↓ Competition The real test of a mechanical change isn’t whether it looks good during the drill. It’s whether the athlete can keep it when velocity, intent, a hitter and competition are added back in. That’s motor mapping… Don’t become great at drills….Use drills to become better at pitching

New leather in the house for the boys. We get rolling on Monday! 👍🏻🚀⚾️
