Former Guardians 4th-round pick @Adam_Scott13 is a little over a year removed from elbow surgery. Now a free agent, he's building toward another shot in affiliated ball, with lives and Pro Day around the corner. 👀

This was some of the hardest stuff he's thrown at Tread.

He sat 94.0 mph (T94.7) on a 17.6" IVB four-seam in this bullpen, mixing in a 93.7 mph sinker with -18.9" of arm-side run, an 85 mph slider, and an 81 mph curveball at -12.6" IVB. The headliner is definitely the changeup: 84.3 mph at -1.8" IVB with -11.6" of armside. 🤮

𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟱 📋:

Ashby is a 6-foot-1 175-pound left-handed pitched that continues to show progress at events. He posted one of the top LHP velos on the day at 85 mph, which he hit three times. Worked consistently at 83-85 mph with fastball, late run, Showed better feel for curveball 67-69 mph, 1-to-7, late action, also showed a slider at 71-74 mph and a change-up at 74 mph. He has a controlled delivery and throws with regular effort, staying in-line as he gets down the mound. Ashby has a high three-quarters release, and pitched to contact during game action.

Of course velocity matters. The velo bros are right.

Of course pitch movement and angles/deception matters. The stuff+ bros are right.

Of course command is important. The Maddux-era boomers are right.

Of course mental toughness is important. The Omaha Challenge we-are-navy-seals college coaches are right.

Of course strength and power are important. The “that-was-all-you!” 1RM-testing-obsessed college S&C coaches are right.

They’re all right.

But they’re often only looking at one piece of the puzzle.

How do you balance training demands and shift priorities as the athlete adapts, ages and hits plateaus?

That’s the whole ballgame.

[Travis Clark @tclarkpitching]

I see pitchers who look unbelievable with plyos, med balls, constraint drills, etc.

Then they get on the mound…

…and everything disappears.

That doesn’t mean the drill didn’t work….It means you haven’t finished the transfer.

A drill removes variables.

The mound adds them back.

Now the athlete has to manage:

• a leg lift
• forward momentum
• timing
• direction
• ground force
• rotation
• arm action
• intent
• AND throwing a baseball to a target

All at once.

So if you’re chasing a mechanical change, don’t jump from:

Drill → 100% mound

Build the bridge.

Drill
↓
Blend the drill into a throw
↓
Low-intent mound
↓
Higher-intent mound
↓
Bullpen
↓
Hitter
↓
Competition

The real test of a mechanical change isn’t whether it looks good during the drill.

It’s whether the athlete can keep it when velocity, intent, a hitter and competition are added back in.

That’s motor mapping…

Don’t become great at drills….Use drills to become better at pitching
