🔥 How did Sam Alessi go from 86 ➡️ 98.5? 🔥
—
Freshman year: just 3 innings. Fastballs at 86.
Fast forward to this fall — he’s sitting 95–97, and ran it up to 98.5 on pro day 😤💨
—
So what changed? 👀
Sam already had a solid base to build from — we just needed to clean up a few key pieces mechanically. No magic programs, no gimmicks.
❌ No overload balls
❌ No underload drills
Just smart, intentional ramp up paired with the right mechanical adjustments.
—
Our main goals:
⚙️ Get him to load the backside instead of leaking into the quad
🎯 Sync the arm path and get it in plane
Once those clicked, everything else took off 🚀
—
The result?
🔥 Sitting 95–97 mph consistently
🔥 Touched 98.5
And the arsenal is just unfair:
💨 “Hand of God” sweeper
🌪️ Changeup hovering at zero vert
🧨 Newly added gyro slider up to 89
—
This is what happens when you build off a good base, move efficiently, and trust the process 💪
—
Big things ahead for Sam— and we’re just getting started 🔥🧱
—
Whether you’re 5’8 or 6’8, you’ve got to use your size to your advantage and be efficient.
Capitalize on what you have vs. dwelling on what you don’t! 💯 taken in Tread Athletics by @_samalessi
