Things I Did to THROW HARD (Part 1 of 3) | HEAT CHECK 7

This is Part 1 of a 3-part Heat Check Series where I walk through different points in my career journey in which I threw hard. There’s been 4 specific occasions throughout my journey that I threw hard but each experience entailed different approaches to the same goal so it’s fun to reflect/unpack it all and think it could be of value for those listening in.

In this episode, I reflect on my high school years and what I was actively doing to influence my throwing velocity which landed me the 88th overall pick in the 2010 MLB Draft (when things were so simple lol) Then we’ll dive into the 2014-2015 season, breaking down how athleticism, long toss, mindset, and freedom played a massive role in power output. This is experience-based, not absolute! Hope this helps someone!
