- At 14 years old, I learned there was a possibility I may not be able to throw again. After over 2 years of surgeries and rehab, I was topping 82 MPH at 17 years old. 18 months later, I was throwing 97… Here’s what you can learn from my journey🧵

00:00 - The drift can be a massive unlock for pitchers struggling to create velocity, learning it can also be a massive challenge. Relating the move to actions seen in other sports can help athletes grasp it better!⬇️

00:00 - Speaking of Kick Change… Tyler Schoff has showcased one of the best Change-Ups I’ve seen this off season. Getting up to 90 MPH at -6 VB and routinely sitting in the upper 80s below the 0 line, this is a brand new weapon for the Nationals Org RHP heading into 2025📈 @TreadHQ
