Congrats to our guy Phil on throwing a no-hitter last night in a 1-0 win. Grinder who is always putting in the work in the facility constantly and is very deserving of the success.

When working with any athlete, but especially younger athletes who are not in the top 0.1% of body awareness the way some big leaguers are, you have to be aware of the fact that they may not be physically able to identify the feeling that you are asking them to. Starting them in the correct position via a constraint drill is a huge first step in the right direction, but ultimately their motor learning will be quicker and more permanent if they learn to feel the position for themselves. We will sometimes use the pantherteckat to give the athlete tactile feedback (via vibration) to let them know that they are in the correct position. This allows the athlete to move freely without constraint while still getting immediate feedback on where the correct position is. The athlete’s ability to recreate that movement without the feedback improves dramatically and quickly.

Some great performances all around over Spring Break from our guys! Special shout out to those listed who gave up 0ER last week. Can’t wait to see the dominance continue

Impromptu game today vs. . It was great seeing and Dr. David Johnson of

Huge shout out to our guy Tyler for throwing a perfect game on Monday in a 14-0 W. Tyler has been working as hard as anyone I’ve seen all fall and winter and deserves all of the success that he is having. Excited to watch him continue to dominate this year.

A strong start to the season for our guys after the first couple games. These guys had a particularly good week - excited to for continued success throughout the spring

What allows commit Matthew Belger to sit 88-91 at a lanky 170lbs? Among other things he uses gravity and the slope of the mound to help accelerate his body into foot strike, maximizing GRFs through the lead leg. You will hear a lot about “free energy” through drift and drop down the mound. Well, here is a perfect example of what that looks like. See the path his COM takes in the slow mo video, and watch how much it accelerates down to foot strike in the full speed video.

Great turnout for our annual “Gobbler” Thanksgiving workout.
