Things I Did to THROW HARD (Part 2 of 3) | HEAT CHECK 8

This is Part 2 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 where I threw hard, but each experience entailed completely different approaches to the same goal — so it's fun to reflect, unpack it all, and hopefully it's of value to those listening in.

In this episode, I pick up where Part 1 left off and dive into the Winter of 2017 moving into 2018. I'll set the stage with the full context — Big League Spring Training with the Cardinals, getting released, Indy ball, Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico, and then the specific mechanical approach that unlocked some of the best stuff I've ever had. This one gets into the loading phase, Hector Barrios, and the biggest lesson I learned about trust in this game. Experience-based, not absolute. Hope this helps someone!
