Not all ground balls come from sinkers. Here's what I think pitching coaches should know about pitch type benchmarks, platoon splits, and why pitch usage matters more than you think.

Ramped up for 5 IP, 75+ pitches Staying ready

Let's clarify spin axis, spin direction, and tilt, as they can be confusing. Understanding 3D spin is benifical for pitch design work. As a coach, I use this knowledge to help athletes improve their arsenals.

Athletes want cues and drills to fix every mechanical flaw they think they have. Just give them a time constraint.

The Arm Action: What I know and what I think coaches should know too.

Gyro Spin: Here’s what I know, and what I think other pitching coaches should know too.

Excited to share that I’m joining the Miami Marlins as a MiLB Pitching Coach! Looking forward to working with some great people. Extremely grateful for the last 4 years with Driveline Baseball. I’ll always cherish the memories and opportunities I’ve been given. #MarlinsBeisbol

Throw plyos with a purpose. Don’t throw them just to throw them. Pick a target and hit it. With the mound about 30 feet from the wall, the ball flight gives us instant feedback, showing where the athlete misses. Command training will never stop.

Early on-ramp work with some MiLB arms after shutting down. Partner/self toss with overload implements to get the arm swing synced up again. Some of my favorite arm action drill’s early in the off season to do with my guys.

It’s good to get one-on-one time with your guys in the off-season every now and then.

Don’t write off-season throwing programs from start to finish. Start from the report date and build backwards. You’ll know exactly how much deload and on ramp time you actually have.

Something I’ve been working for, for a long time. 225 for 10 Shout out Alex Britton for the spot

My job as a pitching coach isn’t to sound smart. I use data to help make a plan that my athletes can understand and execute to make them better on the mound when a batter is in the box.

You don’t have to force pronation on a changeup. A little intentional cut can give you the exact movement profile you’re chasing.

Excited to share that I will be joining the Washington Nationals organization as a MiLB Pitching Coach. Thank you Driveline Baseball and everyone else who has been part of my journey and growth as a coach. I’ll carry everything I’ve learned into this next chapter.
