Ohio Hitmen Baseball

Big year ahead for this ‘27 and his Granville team in the LCL.

Another 26’ off the board. LHP from IN who is an absolute grinder. Pitchability is there with lots of room to grow. Great kid who loves to learn and pick your brain to gain any edge possible. Congrats! @RioBaseball got a good one.

Big time LHH @_dilcher13 off the board going to @WittenbergUBase This guy has been a staple at the top of our order for the last 4 years and will continue to at the next level. Great kid and AMAZING family! Can’t wait to see this next chapter.

30 years pulling out parasites from people's butts, yet still people think I'm crazy when I tell them this...

Pumped for this guy, could play🏀 or ⚾️ at the college level in my opinion. Either way, another 26’ moving on the continue competing. Great young man w/ a motor and work ethic that is unmatched. First in last out type of player, @FurmanMBB got a great one. Congratulations Cam!

And another 26’ off the board! This kid puts the work in and it shows, absolute 🧃in the box and can leave the yard at any time. +arm in the field and big energy/dugout guy. Going back where it started, both parents star 🏀 players at @MVNU_Cougars Congrats, your legacy now!

So happy for this guy! OG Hitmen, here since the beginning. Stuck with it when times were tough and stayed loyal when he was sought after. Nails behind the dish and composure on the bump. Otterbein is getting a leader in the dugout & bulldog on the field…and a great human!

Another from our 26’ team going on to play at the next level. Absolute dirt dog on the field, standout behind the dish and on the bump. Consistency and team first approach wrapped in a very projectable frame. @TUDragonsBB got a gamer and amazing young man. Congrats Jamo!

Just the start! First year with us, but hit the ground running. Knows how to play when lights are the brightest. Great team guy that competes at a high level. @OUCardsBaseball getting a stud! Just the beginning… #BirdGang

@jcorcelli31 @IsaiahTilse @BSC_OHBaseball Can confirm!

Isaiah has a great mix of stuff + deception. Seen him up to 88 this fall with two disgusting breakers. Good feel for CH as well. Really tough look on hitters here. Violent yet fluid mechanics. High ability to spin the baseball. Bulldog. @IsaiahTilse @BSC_OHBaseball

ONU got an absolute stud. Switch hitting backstop who’s caught some of the premiere arms in Ohio. Proud of you, future is bright!

Keep grinding, bright future!

Not a LHH you want to pass up!

Yeah buddy!

@joshgessner Sprint

Don’t train like a pitcher, train like an Olympic sprinter. When I was with the Phillies throwing in the mid-90s, I thought sprinting was eyewash. I just wanted to get bigger and stronger. But here’s the thing—the key to throwing harder isn’t to get bigger or stronger. It’s to train your central nervous system to fire faster. And sprinting is one of the best tests for how well your CNS is firing. Look at Roki Sasaki, who throws 103 mph. When researchers studied him, they found he had similar characteristics to an Olympic sprinter. Or Aroldis Chapman beating Billy Hamilton in a race—when Hamilton was the fastest runner in the MLB. Or even Shohei Ohtani stealing 50 bases last year. They’re elite at throwing and sprinting because they’re so efficient at firing their CNS. So if you want to take advantage of this, here’s what you do: – 2–3x per week, incorporate sprint variations (acceleration, weighted, max effort). – Do ~10 sprints per session. – Add rate of force development, VBT, and impulse-type training into your routine. And if that sounds confusing, just comment SPRINT and I’ll send you the exact routine I’m using to throw 100 mph.

After a great conversation with Coach Clayton, I am honored and blessed to have received an offer to play college baseball for @RioBaseball @HitmenOhio @rioredstorm @URioGrande @CadetBsbl

After several great conversations with @CoachK_MissionU I am honored and blessed to have received an offer to play college baseball for the Mission University Patriots! @mupatsbaseball @HitmenOhio @CadetBsbl
