Baseball is a game of small intricacies and mini battles.  Within the overall war between two teams, there are several smaller battles taking place on a more personal level.  …

Why is it, that it seems like the best thing we humans are good at, is taking something so simple and joyous, like the game of baseball, and make it as complex as possible?

Here's another question that I get all the time.  "What stretches should I do before I pitch?"

Let me tackle that loaded subject with a couple of references, and one personal take on the subject.

 The Science

Stretching does NOT increase performance, and…

Here is audio of a high school baseball coach talking with his team in the locker room after a game.

An Inside Look into the Harsh Conditions of Minor League Baseball

Don't let time decay the memory of your hard work

It's freezing out.  There's frost on the outside of the window.  I barely made it into work this morning because my car would crank…

All around the country, even the world for that matter, there are baseball players of all difference molds.  There are big, "country-strong" hitters wielding logs for bats and crushing baseballs, and then you have little pesky hitters with exceptional eye-hand abilities, you know, the ones that are impossible to strike out.  

Some Pitchers are tall, lanky, wiry, or however you want to describe them, but they resemble someone out of a Tim Burton movie.  You also have your "big…

Rob is a former minor league strength coach with the Royals, Blue Jays, and Cubs.  He has also worked with MLB International, training players in South Africa and parts of Europe, giving Rob a very unique perspective on the differences in training perceptions.



In this episode Rob talks a lot about "the basics," and how not to overcomplicate your programs.  At the end of the day, there's no substitution for hard work and repetitions, and that's what Rob tries to drive home to the…

"How can I increase my velocity?"  

Man, I believe the adage would go something like this, "if I only had a penny for every time a kid asked me that..."

First and foremost, who doesn't?  Take a poll of every single baseball pitcher and ask them if they'd like to throw harder and you'll find one of two things.  One, EVERYBODY wants to throw harder and, two, if they don't I'd be willing to say they're lying.

Assuming that you could keep all the…

So, you want to throw harder?  Well, just get in line right over there behind the other 4 million kids that were here first.

Lets take a little dive into this request, because something is starting to bother me.

I've already been coaching for over a year and a half.  I know, I know, there's many of you out there that have been tackling this coaching thing for decades.  I don't mean any disrespect, but more so just simply acknowledging how quickly the time goes. …

Matt Stark who operates International Performance Baseball (IPB) took $2,995.00 from me for a "World Free Agent Spring Training" event in Florida which he cancelled.

Stark took my money in October 2013 and has not refunded any of it..

He no longer responds to my emails and it looks like he cancelled one of his email accounts.

He now is operating ProBaseballTryouts.Net which is just a website that links you back to the IPB website.

He has a blog page on this…

I think we've all been there.  Most of the time we don't mean to be, but we are.  A pitch right at the knees, on the black, and the umpire blows the call (at least in our opinion, right?)  "How could he possibly miss that?  This son of a bitch is out to get me!!"
