Parents:
Your son doesn’t need a perfect baseball journey.
He needs adversity.
Bad games. Failure. Pressure. Disappointment.
That’s where confidence, toughness, and maturity are built.
Don’t rescue him from every hard moment.
In from Scranton, PA 🚘 🛣️ @DrewWhitlith55 . The SouthPaw came in with a collapsing back leg & timing issues everywhere.
Before⬅️ After➡️ (+4.3 mph)
The 3rd video is one of the things 🤫 we did to help him find his way. Velocity is a math problem that is built through many variables. One of them is timing & Setting The back leg well so it can “go” directionally- on time.
Drew spent two hours after his assessment where he did not throw a baseball. Because in order to get the dominoes to Fall the way we want them to - you gotta get them out of their comfort zone… then build them back up.
This is 4 hours of work on Saturday 😉
Switching back to being a strider …. Spent a year and a half no striding ….lots of reps being slow and early with his load waiting for that pitch …. (His choice ) might still no stride with 2 strikes .
