    What's your nastiest pitch?

      Curveball. I used to have trouble commanding it, now i can throw it for strikes and dirt balls. I also tunnel it well off my fastball.

      For me it is my slurve. I throw from a very low 3/4 slot (some would call it sidearm) which allows me to get a ton of sweep on it. Yesterday in live abs I threw to a lefty in a 3-2 count. It started on almost the outside chalk of the batter's box and ended up perfectly painting the outside corner.

      my curve, it ends up like a sweeping curve but the vertical drop is so sharp yet curved and focusing, you miss the horizontal movement entirely, i also can the horizontal movement independently from the vertical, which is a nice bonus.

    21.2 inches of vert and 100% efficency on the fastball is insane

      We've had some higher slot guys try it, and they can still drop the axis pretty well with it. It's worth trying

    What is tread's take on the recent rise in TJ surgeries and overall elbow injuries?

    • @treadathletics
      @treadathletics  9 месяцев назад +5

      There isn't necessarily a rise. It's just more notable names on the IL. At this point in the year, this is not the highest of all time. Travis Sawchik had a great tweet about this:
      twitter.com/Travis_Sawchik/status/1778059354857476256
      In terms of the landscape of elbow injuries, we agree with what Justin Verlander has stated in terms of throwing at max intent on every pitch. Unfortunately, the current competitive landscape of the game doesn't allow pitchers to cruise at 90% of their max, or else they will not perform the same was as they would at 100%.
      Obviously, your risk level increases as your intent increases. But Tommy John also isn't the same death sentence it used to be. There are different versions of the procedure that allow for faster recovery times as well as high success rates. Unfortunately, it's become "part of the game"." But teams and pitchers are not incentivized to throw slower, because it's less successful than throwing harder. Our founder Ben Brewster is going to be sharing his thoughts today on a few platforms.

      We are not a "velo club" but you can learn about how we train our athletes here:

      And secondly, there are obviously going to be more surgeries in the amateur side because there are < 400 MLB pitchers at any given time. There are hundreds of thousands of pitchers on the amateur side, so if we're using a counting statistic like "the number of surgeries" then yes, there will obviously be more of them on the amateur side.
