Joe DeGroot

Pitching Coach for SUNY Poly Wildcats & The Syracuse SaltCats

[Joe DeGroot @Jfdegroot0328]

Over the last year while rehabbing from Tommy John Surgery, I’ve been able to gain some valuable coaching experience before going to play baseball in grad school.

Here’s some things I’ve learned as a coach that I’m thankful I now know as a player (thread🧵)
