140+ pitches seems crazy until I realize I threw that then threw 45 more 2 days later.. 125 2 days after that. This UCLA pitcher is a dawg. I’m sitting on the couch not able to fathom how she’s doing this.
Quick look at Texas Lonestars’ Ivan McGwier (@IMcgwier26391) on the mound. The RHP picked up 8 strikeouts through 7 innings of work.

In HS I would kill ladder drills but still had horrible feet playing infield. It wasn’t until I started to train acceleration, deceleration, and change of direction that I finally felt the ability to get my body in good position to make plays… unfortunately I was a PO by then
“Velo matters - it’s what gets us recruiters to the ballpark - anyone telling you otherwise is trying to sell you something. After that I look at can you land the offspeed in hitters counts and if you have a hallmark pitch can you go to it consistently for outs”
Quote from a Big12/SEC recruiting coordinator in a video sent to my off season classes
When it comes straight from the guys who are giving the scholarships I listen to that and relay that to the players
Peanut gallery on X/Twitter does not get to change that fact
Lots of 78-82 guys not gonna see the mound the rest of the spring because they bought into the “just throw strikes and the rest works itself out” that’s not true at good programs - the studs get all the innings not the guy whose average
You have to be able to miss barrels and deceive the hitters - if you float pillows up there you’ll get the bad hitters but the good ones will have a stat padding day
This was inspired by a HS coach with a fragile ego telling a guy to slow down everything and his mechanics fell apart and couldn’t throw a strike (release for every pitch got changed too which is not the way - you want the release as close to the same on every pitch as you can get it for many reasons)
Told him to be an athlete and move freely and he was over 85% strikes outta 35 pitches
Velo matters - pitchability matters - consistency matters
I’ve always promoted MC to my players because of how much it helped me grow as a person. I feel like as a coach I just repeat the lessons @dcoleman25105, @jimlawler1, @mgardner15, @LParker024, Athletic Coordinator Forrest Allen, and of course current head man Hector Rodriguez.
It's about that time! Just over 6 weeks out from our annual Texas Pro Scouts Winter Showcase. Get signed up today!
