Side Session, July 30th
Yesterday I threw long toss and threw about 70 pitches from a mound to my workout partner, trying to stay loose and throw from a three-quarter angle that I had experimented with while I warmed up on Sunday at the PSSBL game. The difference was immediately noticeable - my control was a lot better, and though the mechanics were raw, the velocity was great. After some trial and error, I realized that I could easily throw a slider, split-change, and gyroball from this arm angle, all accurately and with good results. Obviously it’s a bit early to be trumpeting the fanfare, but I’m pumped to show this to my pitching instructor.
Hopefully I’ll get some more throwing in tomorrow, and video to come. My YouTube account was suspended due to posting MLB-related videos, but I’ll have another one up and running soon.
