@canaries must have been the 🐶 jerseys

@CoachK00635354 @FlatgroundApp 98 is the highest I’ve seen. I’ve heard 99 and 100 but they were in stadiums without radar displays so I take those numbers with a grain of salt

Looking for advice on transferring this to the mound @FlatgroundApp

@deltamilwaukee @FlatgroundApp Sounds good! I’ll give it a try

@NiccoBlank @FlatgroundApp Basically get to leg lift like your pitching, begin to hop forward 2 or 3 times while your leg is suspended in the air (to create extra momentum) then let it rip. Like an exaggerated walking windup but with a few hops to help your body learn how to transfer the momentum!

@deltamilwaukee @FlatgroundApp I’m familiar with the first two throwing drills but may not have a full picture on the pitching hop pull downs

@NiccoBlank @FlatgroundApp “Back peddle pulldowns” or “turn & burns” as others call them have done wonders in helping our athletes who usually have a deviation of 8-10mph from pulldown to mound velo. Same with “pitching hop” pulldowns. Feel free to DM us if you want some clarification pulldown variations.

@trog34 I’m not necessarily trying to fix anything. I just now know that I’m capable of throwing a baseball 101mph so I would like to hear strategies to transfer pull down velos to the mound

@GGrenert @FlatgroundApp Not sure yet. Haven’t had a mound session where I pushed the velo. My arm feels as good as it has in my career when I was up to 98

@NiccoBlank @FlatgroundApp What is that pull down translating to on the mound?

@jamescooley22 @FlatgroundApp Thanks for the input! I’ll give it a shot 👍🏼

@GGrenert @FlatgroundApp Thanks for the advice! I’ll give that a try 👍🏼

@NiccoBlank @FlatgroundApp Blending is good. Two pull downs, then two mound throws. Try to to translate one to another. 👍🏽

@WesAnde69775719 @FlatgroundApp Any preferred viewpoint?

@NiccoBlank @FlatgroundApp Can you send a clip of you on the mound ?

@Jfogg37 @GlendonRusch @FlatgroundApp I actually think they bowl in cricket 🤷🏻‍♂️

@GlendonRusch @NiccoBlank @FlatgroundApp I think that’s how they pitch in Cricket...

@jvanle78 @FlatgroundApp Maybe a runway like they use for jets?

@trog34 @FlatgroundApp Yeah cool, shoot me his number...

@McgovernSkippy @FlatgroundApp I use run ins to train staying closed while having my momentum carry toward the target. Throwing hard requires a guy as small as me to be extremely athletic and these run in throws really challenge my connection, timing, and overall athleticism

@JoePolek @ThaBrownBear @T_hennnyHEN @Jpayne3349 @Aaronvford9 @mpobereyko42 @Zanghi13 @KuhnaMatata16 Brand new stadium! If you can make it up let me know.

@NiccoBlank @ThaBrownBear @T_hennnyHEN @Jpayne3349 @Aaronvford9 @mpobereyko42 @Zanghi13 @KuhnaMatata16 I have been to HiToms stadium, but not Rockers. Maybe some time.

@NiccoBlank @ThaBrownBear @T_hennnyHEN @Jpayne3349 @Aaronvford9 @mpobereyko42 @Zanghi13 @KuhnaMatata16 Hey guys, where are you playing baseball this season? In any Bojangles' towns?

@cdimez10 Yeah but are you the same beast, and a different animal?

If I learned/was reminded of from 2018 it's that what you hope for and what you get are two completely different animals
