OFF-SEASON PITCHING CLASS KICKS OFF WITH A SPECIAL GUEST INSTRUCTOR

Former New York Yankees pitcher, Horace Lawrence chats with the guys about pitching

Our 2013 Off-Season Pitching Class got started off in awesome fashion Tuesday night under the lights, with a special guest instructor, former New York Yankees organizational pitcher, Horace Lawrence. Coach Lawrence will be working with the pitchers and sharing his experiences often throughout the course of our Pitching Class 

Last season's 2012 Off-Season Pitching Class consisted of 10 players. Of those 10 players, 5 went on to throw no-hitters the following season and one threw a 1 hitter.

So were really looking forward to working with our Off-Season Pitching Class group of 2013 and wish for the same success our previous classes have achieved.

The goal of our Pitching Class is to start at the fundamental roots of pitching, beginning with the core mechanics of pitching out of the wind-up and going from there. Throughout the course of our Pitching Class players can expect to learn:

  • CORE MECHANICS OF PITCHING OUT OF THE WIND-UP
  • CORE MECHANICS OF PITCHING OUT OF THE STRETCH
  • CORRECT GRIPS & CORRECT WAYS TO THROW A WIDE VARIETY OF PITCHES
  • LEARN HOW TO HOLD A RUNNER ON AND ADVANCE PICK-OFF MOVES
  • AS WELL AS GAIN ADDITIONAL VELOCITY ON THEIR FASTBALL THROUGH LEARNING HOW TO USE THERE LOWER-HALF WHEN PITCHING
  • TO NAME A FEW...
