Quotes
Most of the time when i put stuff out I'm trying to solve a problem. I'm trying to show that there isn't one way to get it done.
The key to coaching in general is to be honest and have an objective view. I just shut up and watch. Then ill make suggestions.

I treat every single pitcher as an individual. I have a toolbox of ideas, but I don't have a set way of teaching mechanics.

I like the idea of being the person that nobody wants to throw with.
