About halfway through the course and have already learned a lot I can use for my own career and for players I coach. Great stuff!
Pitch Design “U” is officially LIVE. Inside you’ll find: • 3 modules • 16 video lessons • 3+ hours of content Module #1 → Pitch Movement Fundamentals Inside this module you will learn key terms and definitions involved in pitch movement. You will also learn how to read a movement plot and what the 3 types of movement profiles are. Module #2 → How to Throw Each Pitch Type Inside this module you will learn what a supination and pronation bias is and how it impacts what pitch types are better suited for each pitcher. I will also walk you through how to throw every single pitch with multiple grip options and edgertronic video to show how the ball should be spinning. Lastly, there will be MLB pitcher examples for every pitch. Module #3 → Analytics (Pitch Performance) In this module I will show you what the data says on pitch performance. Where in the zone each pitch performs the best, how to use your stuff, and show MLB examples of how pitchers use their stuff based on batter handedness. Bonus #1 → Creating a Plan Step-By-Step In this bonus section I will walk you through my process for deciding what pitch you should develop. There will be multiple case study examples, showing you this process. Bonus #2 → Pitch Grip "Cheat Sheet" As an added bonus you'll be able to download a PDF with pictures of all pitch grips, along with cues for everyone of them. If you’ve made it this far, I am guessing you are interested in starting the course! Click the link below to get started: pitchingcoachu.com/pducourse I hope to see you inside.
