First time meeting my dude Gus today! Quickest player to learn the pivot pick off that I have coached! Excited to see the progress going forward.
How bout that spin move at the end🌟

Not to keep using Stroman as a mechanical example, but I can’t help myself. This angle is a great view to see how to initiate a weight shift down the mound - REGARDLESS of the style of the leg lift (standard, slide step, or “The Kershaw” lift-pause-go).

Notice how, on the first throw, even after the balance point / fake first move, he then drifts forward with his center of mass before getting into his lower half drive.

Short Box Live ABs tonight for my Thursday night hit group. Turn on the pressure, challenge, and train the players to be comfortable getting their best swing off.

Why your Long Toss distance may not be FULLY translating - Velocity wise - to the mound.
Hint: you are probably decelerating rather than accelerating during your Pull Downs (on your way back in to your throwing partner).

Okay so I mostly wanted an excuse to re-post this cool clip of Oliver Drake. What I see: 1) He stays into his back hip really well - no rising onto the toe early, which helps him drive the knee down vs. over extending it. 2) He creates great separation and holds the torso back.

Here's an easy way to quantify early hip rotation - counting video frames between the back heel beginning to lift and ball release. Elite throwers fall in the 8-10 frame range.

Just had a PTA ask me what the UCL was😐 prime example of why athletes are a better choice when looking to hire at a clinic.

Said on insta and I'll say it again, don't let doctors or out patient services take advantage of you. You deserve the best, so get the best.

Stop obsessing over the amount on the bar & chase the perfection of your technique. A funny thing will happen ... the numbers will come
