PITCHING RESULTS
Blake Cairnes UGA RHP
With only 7 days of training before he heads out to Summer Baseball. We focused heavily on creating Blake's linear movement; adding a new Power Angle, learning to use his drive leg, balance issues, learning to trust the fall and keeping hips closed for as long as possible, adding more hip shoulder separation, and learning how to stick his landing leg. During this time he has added 130 RPM's with 30 points of less stress on his arm (giving the feeling of no effort throwing), adding 11 MPH (based on his Day 1 test of 83 MPH at 70% effort), and reaching a personal PR goal of 92 MPH in a bullpen with 70% effort (previous was 90MPH at 100%). Since our sessions Blake has consistently hit 96 MPH.

Hayden JUCO RHP
Hayden, coming off of Tommy John surgery, we had to first attack the pressure in his arm. Using to much arm to throw the ball we first had to sync up his trunk should rotation. Through a series of drills utilizing weighted balls we were able to introduce him to the FEEL of trunk/shoulder synchronization, allowing to take over 30 points of torque off his arm and increasing RPM by over 150 points. We then attacking incorporating his drive leg and lower half more efficiency taking even more stress off his arm and increasing his velocity.
