Just incase you were wondering what we do at TPC!
Jaylee is from SF and working hard to gain speed, control and movement. Look at her improvements in just 2 lessons.

The extension in the right leg, the thrust and knee up with the left leg, and the reach! Keep working kid.

Timing. Ground force energy from the ground up, creates a powerful whip from the K position. When you master those things, your speed increases.

What does your timing look like from the K position?

It "clicked." For those of you that know, you know what I am talking about. What felt impossible at one time is finally starting to feel more achievable. It wasnt easy, but she didnt quit. This was such a great moment for all of her circle tonight. Way to go, Sophia!!

Tonight, Mariah worked on timing and feeling the connection between her stride foot and the K position. She focused on getting her weight forward, driving her stride foot down, and creating a stable front side so her hip thrust could work.

When we moved into the full pitch, she lost that feeling, so we backed up and started close to the wall—about five feet away. Each time the connection felt off, she moved closer, found the timing again, and gradually worked her way back.

By the end, she could feel herself driving from her legs and knew she was stronger. That’s real progress! 💪🥎

🥎 WHAT DO ALL THOSE PITCHLOGIC NUMBERS ACTUALLY MEAN?

PitchLogic gives us a LOT of information after each pitch—but the goal isn’t to chase numbers.

The goal is to understand what the ball is doing and WHY.

Here are a few of the numbers we’ll be looking at during TPC lessons:

⚡ VELOCITY
How fast is the ball traveling?

Velocity is only one piece of the puzzle. We can track increases over time, compare different pitches, and see whether mechanical changes are helping a pitcher create more efficient power.

🌀 SPIN RATE
How fast is the ball spinning?

More spin isn’t automatically better. We want to look at whether the pitcher is creating the right type of spin for the pitch she is trying to throw.

🎯 SPIN EFFICIENCY
How much of that spin is actually contributing to the movement of the pitch?

This helps us see whether the pitcher is transferring her spin effectively—or whether some of that spin isn't helping the ball move the way we want.

↗️ SPIN DIRECTION / AXIS
Which direction is the ball spinning?

This is HUGE when developing movement pitches.

If we are working on a rise, drop, curve, or another movement pitch, we can see whether the ball is actually spinning on the axis needed to create that pitch shape.

↕️ HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL MOVEMENT
What did the ball actually DO in the air?

Now we can compare what we thought happened to what actually happened.

Did the drop move down?
Did the curve create enough horizontal movement?
Did the rise stay on the plane we wanted?

💪 ARM SLOT
Where is the arm at release?

We can look at consistency from pitch to pitch and see if something changes when a pitcher switches pitch types.

Ideally, hitters shouldn't be able to tell what is coming just because a pitcher changes her delivery!

SO HOW WILL WE USE ALL OF THIS AT TPC?

We can:
✅ Establish a baseline for each pitch
✅ Compare pitches before and after an adjustment
✅ Test different grips and releases
✅ Track velocity and spin development
✅ Measure consistency
✅ Look at pitch movement and separation
✅ Set individualized goals
✅ Track progress over time

The best part?

We can make an adjustment during a lesson, throw again, and immediately see whether it actually changed the pitch.

FEEL ➡️ DATA ➡️ ADJUST ➡️ THROW AGAIN ➡️ LEARN

PitchLogic isn't replacing what I see as a coach.

It's helping us put numbers behind it.

And it gives my pitchers another way to understand their own pitches instead of simply being told, “That one was better.”

🥎 We aren't just learning how to throw pitches—we're learning how to BUILD them.

Throwing without using your hips means your arm is doing too much of the work. Strong hip drive helps create power, improve timing, and take some stress off your arm. Build from the ground up and let those hips lead! 🥎

Meet Sutton! 💜🥎

After 10 lessons—and completing my 8-week beginner program with weekly sessions—Sutton has made so much progress! She showed up, worked hard, and did her homework between lessons. Now all that effort is paying off, and I couldn’t be prouder of how far she’s come!

Keep it up, Sutton! ✨
