• Gather additional momentum to use

Strategies to make bullpens game-like:
• Use stand-in hitters
• Throw with intensity
• Switch the ball every 4-6 pitches
• Simulate hitters/situations (Ex: runner on 3rd, 1 out)
• Throw up/downs, simulate an inning then sit for 5 min, then hop back on mound

Velocity tip 💡
• Throw against a closed front hip to give yourself a fixed post to rotate into
• Think about wrapping your back hip into your front hip

Pitching philosophy
Staying aggressive means less overthinking.
• Play OFFENSE on the mound
• Know the hitter to control the hitter
• Keep pressure on the hitter
• Present pitches as strikes & let stuff play in & out of zone
• Throw any pitch in any count

Addressing your goals for the off-season should be simple. Here’s an example:
1. Establish ground connection
2. Establish active tendencies through the middle of my body
3. Begin to implement momentum while maintaining the feeling of pelvic rotation

Playing catch with a softball is a great way to learn to get your hand out front.
Throwing a softball can also,
• Strengthen your arm
• Improve your arm action
• Help you learn to drive the ball to the target
• Build enhanced feel of your off speed pitches

Foot down, then throw. The feeling we’re searching for.
Allow your delivery to happen, get to a strong position at foot strike, then bring down the house.
Stay sideways as long as possible.
Rhythm before foot strike & violence after. Rotate late, be patient.
