‘28 RHP Matthew Ramsey (OH) ran his FB up to 92 in an abbreviated outing. Mostly 88-91. Good tempo & heavy SL usage @ 78-81. Quick arm that packs a punch. A name to monitor for the rest of the summer. #WWBAOV @ReleaseBaseball @MatthewRamsey28

This is also "developmental off-loading" by MLB and putting development on the shoulders of college baseball and private facilities like mine.

As a facility owner and pitching coach, I am 100% committed to continuing to invest in development for all players who walk through our doors.

[Mike Grady @pitchingschool]

Under this scenario, Nolan Ryan would be drafted in the last round (12th round pick), and Mike Piazza would have never been on the radar (62nd round pick).

A couple of the game's greatest players right there.

Make this proposal make sense.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

MLB today proposed an overhauled domestic amateur-entry system that removes high school players from the draft, makes college players eligible after sophomore year, shortens the draft from 20 to 12 rounds, and cuts bonus pool from current $358.7M to $200M, sources tell ESPN.

[Mike Grady @pitchingschool]

I understand we live in VERY different times, and this proposal is good for the development of pitchers, and it will make college baseball even more competitive, which is not a bad thing.

It makes it tougher for HS athletes to break into the college baseball landscape though.

[Mike Grady @pitchingschool]

Pitchers throw on Trackman and Edgertronic every week and never see the data. That has to stop.

Not pitch by pitch in a pen, I get that. But after the set, or the next day, the player should have it.

My high school guys already understand their pitch profiles and can manipulate movement when they see the numbers. It is the fastest way to learn.

Just remember: data is for the lab, the game is for competing and your focus is 100% over the plate getting hitters out.

We’ve spent years building a system that connects:

✅ PT Movement Screens
✅ Motion Capture
✅ Pitch Data
✅ Performance Testing
✅ Individual Development Plans

The goal isn’t collecting more data.

The goal is understanding each athlete better.

When assessment, technology, and coaching work together, better decisions lead to better development.

Data → Assessment → Development Plan → Results

[Mike Grady @pitchingschool]

I asked a D1 college pitcher (entering year 4) what advice he’d give recruits right now.

His answer had nothing to do with facilities or offers.

Two things:

1. Chase stability. The coach who recruits you matters. Find one who’s been there a while, or if he’s new, make him show you his commitment to building the program. Stability is underrated.

2.Ask about the culture. It’s everything. Good programs talk about it, and so do their players. You’re leaving home for the first time and that team becomes your family. Baseball is hard. Culture is what carries you through it.

Great advice ⚡️

Parents and players who have gone through the recruiting process: what’s the one question you wish you’d asked? 👇

[Mike Grady @pitchingschool]

Everyone sees the stat line. I see the work behind it.

This spring, #uncommitted 2028 RHP @MatthewRamsey28 put up an incredible sophomore season for @HobanBaseball : 8-0 with a 0.80 ERA, 76 strikeouts to just 12 walks over 52.1 innings, 2 saves, with a fastball that climbed all the way up to 91 and a true four-pitch mix.

But here's what the numbers don't show.

All winter, while he was grinding through a busy varsity basketball schedule, Matt still found time to get his throwing and training in. He's the last one out of the weight room every single time. That internal drive is rare. You can't teach it, and you can't fake it.

The 91 on the gun and the 0.80 ERA? Those are just the byproducts. The real story is the kid who keeps showing up, keeps asking, and keeps pushing when nobody's watching.

Every college coach seeing this needs to know the work ethic behind the scenes.

Few things are better than watching the work pay off.

Back in the offseason, I told @CaedenDeDomenic he was set for a big year. His focus and effort made it obvious.

He earned every bit of this: 1st Team All-State, NEOBCA & MAC Pitcher of the Year, and @MountUnion next.

Congratulations, Caeden!

This Is Not Just a Throwing Program

VIP is a complete development process.

Athletes receive movement screening, strength training, throwing development, bullpen work, video review, pitch design, command training, arm care, and individualized coaching feedback.

The goal is simple:

Train. Develop. Compete.

[Mike Grady @pitchingschool]

More Than a Throwing Program

The VIP Training Program is built to evaluate the entire athlete, not just how hard he throws.

Before we build velocity, we want to understand how the athlete moves, how his arm is handling training, and what he needs to improve.

Movement screen. Throwing data. Individualized development.

[Mike Grady @pitchingschool]

Why This Matters

Better information leads to better decisions.

Before training, we screen movement and identify potential risk factors.

During the program, we track progress, response, and throwing data.

As the athlete improves, we adjust the plan based on evidence, not guesswork.

Healthier arms. Smarter development.
