The Quality Start Is Dying—and So Is a Starting Pitcher’s Value
Modern pitch limits are erasing the quality start—and with it, the long-term value of starting pitchers. Here's how the system is failing them.
The Cost of Chasing 100mph: Jared Jones and the Modern Pitcher’s Dilemma
Why did Jared Jones throw 100mph in a meaningless September game? His injury highlights MLB’s growing velocity obsession—and how it's sidelining top arms before they ever reach their full potential.
The Blueprint for Pitching Longevity Has Been Hiding in Plain Sight
Pitchers are breaking down faster than ever, but the blueprint to longevity has been right in front of us for decades. Learn how efficient movement, sequencing, and proven mechanics—exemplified by legends like Gaylord Perry—can help today’s pitchers stay durable, throw more innings, and extend their careers. The blueprint is here—it’s time to stop ignoring it.
The Roller Coaster Effect: Unlocking Velocity Through Momentum and Sequencing
Throwing harder isn’t about forcing velocity—it’s about allowing energy to transfer efficiently. Learn how momentum, sequencing, and biomechanics work together to maximize velocity and durability in pitching by riding the roller coaster effect.
The Stretch Effect: A Sustainable Approach to Pitching Velocity
Sustainable velocity isn’t just about throwing harder—it’s about optimizing mechanics and energy transfer. The Stretch Effect maximizes separation between the pelvis and upper body, allowing pitchers to generate more velocity without excessive arm stress.
In this article, we break down how Nate Reed, a College of Charleston commit, applies this principle to refine his delivery.
The Best Amateur Pitching Delivery I’ve Ever Seen
Logan Jarosz had the most mechanically efficient amateur pitching delivery I’ve ever seen. This post explores his natural motion, the challenges he faced in player development, and the importance of mentorship over technology in coaching. Discover why individuality in pitching mechanics matters.
