Brett Erwin

From sitting 88 mph T92 to 95-96 mph T97 in 1.5 years 🤯⁠ ⁠ When Tread athlete @Brettward_6 first started with us, he had an average fastball of 88, and now about 1.5 years later here he is throwing 95-96 touching 97 MPH! So how exactly did he do it?⁠ ⁠ An Athlete update from @ArowThrows 🔥⁠ ⁠ Brett had a great starting point in his delivery. There weren't any glaring issues mechanically that we needed to overhaul. The main focus was to improve the initial move/posture out of leg lift to allow himself to be in a better position into landing.⁠ ⁠ Another big constraint that we had while working together was the environment that we were throwing in. Brett, for the majority of the off-season, was throwing off of a grassy hill in the middle of the park into a 9 pocket.⁠ ⁠ Originally, the throws were around 86 to 88, but we eventually got up to 90-91 in that specific environment. It was a matter of time before we got on an actual mound against hitters to start seeing some better numbers show up, which eventually happened.⁠ ⁠ We utilized a lot of 1 MPH bullpens to focus on the idea of “throwing hard easy” which ultimately raised the floor and he was starting to really understand how his body needed to move. Once I felt like we were in a good spot mechanically, we added in a lot more intent work to get the output we wanted! ⁠ ⁠ The biggest factor in all of this is that Brett is a fantastic communicator. He consistently scheduled calls, sent over video, and asked a lot of great quality questions along the way. It takes a special kind of athlete to make a lot of progress remotely and to get the most out of remote training, and Brett has definitely made the most out of the opportunity!⁠ #TreadFam
