Leaders! Don’t avoid a necessary conversation because it makes you or the other person uncomfortable. Discomfort is a catalyst that signals something isn’t right and someone needs to make a change. Don’t flinch. To avoid the discomfort is to fail to lead.

It’s important to be able to load your hips in a tight window. The pitching load is similar to archery. The drawback length determines the potential force of the arrow. Better load = more tension = more force You can think, “hide the hip” from the catcher. FLATGROUND Pitching

Struggling with creating depth on your curveball? The major 🔑 is keeping your hand supinated through release. Middle and index fingers should be in front of the ball at release. Karate chop as Trevor Bauer (トレバー・バウアー) says. FLATGROUND Pitching

‼️ Pitching Mechanical Assessment‼️ 1️⃣ Foot Mechanics & Drive Leg: The back foot provides key insight into body direction and rotational movement, influencing kinematic sequencing (hip-shoulder separation) and overall mechanics. This impacts timing and body control. 2️⃣ Ankle

Locked in 🎯 A great pitcher knows the key to success is being “singularly focused” on every pitch. Whether it’s the count, the batter, the situation, or your mechanics. Distractions can cost you the game! Stay present. Stay sharp. Stay in control 💪 #BaseballMentality #Mindset
