Show notes

• Good compared to what??!
• 3 reasons to start
  • College exposure
  • Compete with guys like you did
  • Play college baseball
• Pitching protocols are not just pitch counts, training is a part of that!
• Driveline helped us build up our pitching protocols and training protocols
• Provide the player with the information and let you decide how you will deal with it (pillar of the organization)
• Coaching is communicating is a less words as possible!
• College weekend series
  • Make it feel and be as close to a college experience as possible
  • Friday - Sunday - 3 games series between 4 teams
    • BP and in and out before each game
    • Saturday DH
    • Sunday series winners/loser play
• Less coaching, and a lot more athletic!
• Being athletic leads to good mechanics
• If you can become more fluid in your movements and athletic, then your mechanics will be better.
