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...

We welcome the 2013 Off-Season Pitching Class:

Adam Birt

FALL LEAGUE (HITTER OF THE WEEK)

Rocky Sizemore (Fall of 2013)
WEEK 2
HITTER OF THE WEEK

Rocky Sizemore (11) has been selected our Fall League's Week 2 "Hitter of the Week" for an absolute bomb he hit in Saturday's game action.

In the second game of a double-header Rocky got ahold of a pitch and launched it an estimated 260 to 270 feet in the air before coming down.

Rocky circled the bases with his first home-run of the 2013 Fall League Season.

Good Job Rock!

FALL LEAGUE (DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK)

Dylan Mann (Fall of 2013)
WEEK 2
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Dylan Mann has been selected our Fall League's Week 2 "Defensive Player of the Week" for an incredible catch he made while playing center-field.

On a sinking line-drive Dylan had to travel a good ways in and to his right, when he completely laid out an made an awesome diving catch!

Great work Dylan!
