Note to self, don’t set up your phone with confidence u can avoid throwing pitches right down the middle and that it will be cool to see the break on off speeds. First fastball of the day. I’m not that guy 📝 @PitchingNinja @FlatgroundApp @LUvikesbaseball

2 weeks ago I was grunting for 85 on the flatground (1st clip). Today, while building up for pulldowns, I was sitting 87-89 from the flat and got an 89.6 at what felt like low effort. Me and @imstilllucas identified the issue, hammered some drills, and 2 weeks later here we are…

Woke up at 8am. Drove 4 hours, moved into my dorm, only put a PB&J, protein bar, and an energy drink into my body all day. Showed up to @RhinoWisco and did a 4-step limit pulldown at 99. #fiwb #bulldog @TreadAthletics @LUvikesbaseball @imstilllucas 100+ on a full pulldown Monday?

100mph pulldown, 99mph condensed pulldown, and today I hit 98 on a shuffle throw… god I hope this can translate to a mound. My VELO has stayed up as a get a shorter and shorter delivery. 95 or die once I’m up on the bump🧃⚡️ @TreadAthletics @imstilllucas

First throw off the mound since July. 75-80% short box at 55 feet. Clocked 87.1 and felt very effortless. You can see the shock on my face. 1 year ago today this would be a PR. ⚡️📈 @imstilllucas @LUvikesbaseball @LUvikings @TreadHQ @TreadAthletics Catcher @hoh_jack

Good news and bad news. The bad news is that I only topped out at 91.4 on the bump today. Good news is that 96 and 97 is looking extra silky and effortless. Just gotta find a way to blend it. @TreadAthletics @TreadHQ @imstilllucas @LUvikesbaseball

Adding intensity every week until lives this winter. 85% all the offspeeds. CB needs tuning but slider has come a long way for learning it this summer and not throwing it much since, and the splitter is easily best pitch. Fb- 86/88 2300 CB 73/75 2500 SI 78/81 2300 Sp 75/78 450🤌

Got checked out for shoulder pain. Irritation because my scap load is too deep and my pec is fighting it and the external rotation. Great news, a few mechanical fixes and we are back. Also got MOCAP and found out my scap load is 70 degrees #yearofthepec went too hard @JohnEcreel

Buildup throw from yesterdays VELO session. Been doing a lot of kikuchi drills trying to feel myself sit into my backside. Mechanics have been really bad out of the stretch but this throw was the best I have felt in a while. Not only that but the 85 was pretty low intent🧃⚡️📈

Two of the best mechanical throws I’ve made in a while. IMO. Slo-mo at end Arm path is looking very smooth, something that has never looked that good, and my separation is much better. Curious to what all the twitter coaches have got for me #baseball #pitcher #mechanics #coach

Saw this photo from @dhayes422 on IG. This position is absurd. His front leg looks soft in video, but I wish I could get into a position like this. In my eyes, this shows perfectly how it’s not about pushing off the backside but rotating and snapping that back leg down.

@Challenger_ST @CoachTrott I’m my opinion, this is a very bad take. Basketball started and I immediately saw gains in baseball. Not only that but it was the best shape I had ever been in. Maybe a school doesn’t want you because you’re good at another sport. But it doesn’t hurt being a multi-sport athlete

@TreadAthletics I believe this is my lowest hanging fruit. I’m trying to get more of a coil and implement the drift. Bottom video is me over the summer with no drift. Top is what I’m trying now. Both lower intensity but the changes are obvious. Hoping this can help translate pulldown velo-mound
