I currently work with two organizations through virtual training:
✅ A rec department in Idaho with 12-15 pitchers
✅ A travel team in Canada with 6 pitchers

Each pitcher will need their own membership. Team/organization discounts are available based on the number of athletes joining.

🚨 The Truth About Internal Rotation vs. "Hello Elbow" 🚨

Simply put, Internal Rotation (IR), also known as Forearm Fire, is the most natural and efficient way to pitch.

🔥 What is Forearm Fire/Internal Rotation?

• A true arm whip that relies on external & internal shoulder rotation and forearm pronation.
• Focuses on pulling the ball down the slot, allowing for fluid arm movement and proper lower body sequencing.

🚫 The Problem with "Hello Elbow"

• A forced arm circle that slows the body down.
• Involves stiff wrist snaps, locked-out arms, and an elbow-to-catcher finish (often ending in a “muscle” or “L” position).
• Leads to pushing the ball rather than whipping it, increasing injury risk.

As someone who suffered lifelong injuries from 14 years of "Hello Elbow" mechanics, I dedicated my first year of coaching to understanding how the body should MOVE before how it should PITCH. This knowledge has been a game changer for my career—and, more importantly, for my pitchers!

The ideal pitching schedule varies depending on age and skill level, but I believe pitchers should throw 3-5 days a week, depending on how intense their weekend schedule is. Here's how to structure those days:

• Heavy Day (1x per week): This would be an hour-long pitching lesson with me, including 80-100 reps (drill work included), along with an intense warmup and cool down to prevent injury and maximize performance.

• Medium Day (1x per week): Focus on 60-70 reps—working on mechanics and building consistency.

• Light Days (1-2x per week): Aim for 40-60 reps, prioritizing feel work, fine-tuning mechanics, and low-intensity drills.

For Beginners:
Mirror drills should be done EVERY DAY—even without a ball or glove. Use a mirror or selfie camera to go through the 7 steps of pitching, breaking down your motion. This helps you see and feel your body movements while building muscle memory. Start with 10-15 mirror reps daily to master the little details.

Strength Training (All Levels):
Strength is the foundation for a powerful pitcher at every age. This doesn’t mean heavy weights at the gym—it means consistent bodyweight exercises to build your hips, glutes, and core strength. Use the exercises from your lesson plans inside the pitching academies daily to support your pitching motion and prevent injuries.

Consistency is key—small daily efforts add up to big results! 💪

🚨 Let’s Talk About the “Screwball” 🚨

To be 100% honest, I cannot stand the word "screwball" anymore… Why? Because during my freshman year of college, it was drilled into my head that a screwball “is not a real pitch.”

💡 Instead of focusing on a screwball, I prioritize teaching a true rise ball with 6-12 spin while maintaining proper body mechanics & movement patterns. Once a pitcher masters the rise, we work on angling it in and out, breaking two planes, making it even more challenging for hitters.

🔴 The Problem with the Traditional Screwball

• Inconsistent movement—it’s not as reliable as other breaking pitches.
• High risk of injury (shoulder, elbow, bicep) if thrown incorrectly.
• Many pitchers are taught to throw it by stepping off the power line, pushing their hips back, and twisting their thumb at release—all of which can lead to poor mechanics and long-term damage.

🚫 If this is how you were taught, PLEASE hear me out! Before throwing a screwball, take the time to learn proper movement patterns to protect yourself from injury.

✅ The ONLY screwball I will teach is a Peel Screw (and only to pitchers with a solid foundation). However, I strongly encourage my pitchers to master breaking pitches that move in multiple directions before even considering this pitch.

⚠️ If you think you have a “natural” screwball, let’s be clear:
Your foundation is not where it needs to be. No pitcher should be happy or content having a “natural” screw, rise, or curve. Every pitch should feed off the fastball—the foundation top-spin pitch.

🚩 If you can’t hone in on proper top-spin at a younger age, that’s a red flag for mechanical and foundational issues. Let’s not settle for this!

👉 EDUCATE YOURSELF.

• Find an instructor who understands biomechanics and how pitchers move.
• Find an instructor who understands body composition and how lefties vs. righties move differently.

I could go on and on about this... It blows my mind when I see instructors on their high horse, thinking they know everything—yet they don’t even understand how the body should move!

I’m extremely passionate about this because I had 7 injuries from ages 14-21. I never had the right mentorship to educate me on how to move efficiently and stay healthy.

If you've followed me for a while, you know my story. Don't let history repeat itself!
