Uncommitted Jack Manzella continued his strong junior season today on the mound striking out 7 in Fraser’s 7-1 win. Manzella kept hitters off balance by working backwards in counts all day and with the ability to throw all 3 pitches for strikes

[Dominic Downs @dwdowns13]

Going to be a great summer. If you’re looking for velo or arsenal development shoot me a message for more details🔥

[Origin Athletics @origin_ath]

🚨ATTENTION ALL HS AND COLLEGE PITCHERS🚨

Our summer pitching development program will be kicking off May 23rd.

If you’re looking for velocity or arsenal development this summer send us a message.

Spots are limited‼️

[Dominic Downs @dwdowns13]

Love when I get these texts from guys🔥

@Gav_Ohara crushing it this year.

Big keys this offseason:
1. Gain 20+ pounds
2. Huge gains in the weight room

82 to sitting upper 80’s and a couple 90’s in 2 years of consistent work. Pumped to see the future for him.

[FOX 2 Sports @FOX2Sports]

WATCH - #Tigers manager A.J. Hinch is fired up about the current #Detroit sports scene!

[Dominic Downs @dwdowns13]

4. Because of 1, 2, and 3 he blocks well, not letting his front knee leak forward or bow out once he hits front foot strike. This creates a base for him to rotate around and finish the throw, sending energy back up the chain.

[Dominic Downs @dwdowns13]

🚨Mechanical breakdown thread🚨

In house client @nick_gajewski moving well in a mid week pen. Let’s look at a couple of patterns and positions he gets into with his lower half:

[Dominic Downs @dwdowns13]

3. He created good pelvis/torso separation. Arm is flipped up on time, pelvis open, torso closed, glove side retracted👍🏼
