East/west guys play longer toss (90-120) with your runner 2-seam, changeup, sweeper, cutter. See the movement, check in with it.

North/south guys just rip long toss with your 4seam. Keep eating peoples shins when you pull down. We all appreciate it.

When BB% begins to creep up in season it’s important to take a step back, look at your usages compared with IZ%.

Early counts, and especially 0-0 counts you have to use your best IZ% pitches. If not, you’re handcuffing yourself

0-1 count ≈ 4.5% BB%
1-0 count ≈ 14.5% BB%

My friend Mike asked me to get some candids in the rain… I’d say it turned out well

Now opening up shop as a professional photographer. Appointment only. DMs are open

📍Onyx Coffee Lab HQ // Rogers, AR

Easily 1/1 on the Texas League coffee shop list.

This place passes the vibe check right off the bat and the coffee is *chefs kiss* 10/10.

Plenty of options, roasts and origins for whatever you want out of your coffee

Pitchers

Know what your consistent miss is with each pitch so you can minimize damage against each pitch depending on count.

Also it’s probably best to set sights middle middle until you get to advantage counts. Chances are it’s not going to end up middle middle anyway.

Mvmt isn’t created equally nor does it perform the same.

A 0vb sinker from a 5 ft release height and 6 ft release are going to have different “stuff” numbers and more than likely will perform differently.

VAA, HAA, release height/side all play into how the pitch will perform

Hitters will tell you what’s working and not working on the day.

It’ll be the way they take the pitch, swing at it, and obviously if they bang it around the yard or not.

Pay attention, and have the ability to adjust the game plan as necessary on the fly.

Met some amazing people this morning over at Elise Cuisine down in San Antonio.

Phenomenal people that couldn’t have made me feel more welcome and served up some delicious breakfast as well!

Wanna throw harder?

Have you seriously tried throwing harder?

In game for most people is going to be their highest output and best chance to “unlock” more velo.

So next outing, throw some more ego FB’s and go move the needle a bit for yourself.

📍Revolucion Coffee + Juice //San Antonio Riverwalk

Immaculate vibes

☕️ Cold Brew, average to be honest. (6.3)

🧃 “Be Well” Fresh pressed juice (8.2) I’m a sucker for liquid in a glass bottle.

🍩 Phone most definitely didn’t eat first at Voodoo Doughnuts. (8.5)

Day after outings when you’re definitely down for a couple days, it’s fine to not throw. In fact it’s probably better.

Move the body around with a lift, big fan of ISO’s for arm care on day afters.

Not a need to throw, probably not going to get better from it honestly.

Velo days with the boys >>>>

Having multiple pitches with basically the same grip (CT and FF) is a recipe for one of them to blend closer to the other one. Typically the one that’s used more.

Even just flipping the orientation of the horseshoe can give enough difference between the two to keep feel for both

Sunday Day Game Schedule:

-Wake up before the birds and chirp at them

-Walk a 5k

-Read pages

-Consume enough caffeine that the Hulk would be buzzing

-Watch game from the pen

-Sunday tradition, if you’re in Wichita you know what that is

In season, it’s probably going to be important to have 2-3 drills (either during plyos or catch play) to get you right and hitting your check points you wanna hit.

Another important thing during season IMO, is 1-2 days a week of throwing more “athleticly” aka mimic infielders

Heavy RFE Zerchers isn’t a cry for help, but you should be concerned if you see someone doing them “just cause”.

There’s definitely others out there, so share below.

But “getting into your back leg” (probably taken as drop deeper into the back leg) may be the most overhyped/overused cue. And depending on the person could lead to some serious fuckupage of said person’s mechanics.

“Finesse” pitches like changeups typically perform better when thrown with high intent.

Even if metrics on it aren’t great, keeping arm speed up is going to do better things for the pitch than babying it and hoping it does something cool.

Really excited to offer this program again this summer, and to see it take off in our new facility.
