- Master catch play
- Do your “drills” during this timeframe to add the feedback of ball flight into the equation
- Ball flight usually is a byproduct of your timing, tempo, and mechanical sequence
- Look at the best pitchers in the game, watch their catch play. Its not full of effort but its not lazy… theres a sense of urgency
- The ball just looks… “different”. They adapt to external factors. They aren’t just repping out full windup reps. Its done with purpose and precision
- So why constrain the throw? By physiologically limiting your levers it exposes and heightens your misses. It creates an instant feedback loop. When you fly open, rush the tempo, muscle up, the consequences are greater. Adaptations are forced early on instead of waiting for a feel or position to “click”.

Intentional catch play is a staple in our training system here at Ascent. Head to the link in our bio to begin today or DM us for more info⚡️

@hailstatebb commit, @landonb_rown has gotten busy this offseason🚨
An already freak athlete, Landon found himself at the beginning of the offseason getting in and out of the throw too quickly

The goal was to create more space and time for him to use his levers more efficiently and develop an upper 90’s throw with the least amount of effort possible

“Lengthening” Landon’s already “twitchy” throw consisted of
- A deeper sit into hip flexion
- Utilizing free energy through the ground, gravity and time

This promotes…
- A neutral posture
- Increased rotational capacity/clearance through a more stacked position
- Authentic separation
- Minimizes rib flare and early torso rotation
- Timed up arm flip up v. Disconnected drag through

Landon worked through drill progressions involving backhands and hop backs as well as the Kikuchi drill to drive vertical force application and the “Drop”

Shout out @primepitching_htx for providing the kid a great environment and great people to be a part of the rise of Mr. Brown💪🏼
