Great interview!

I’m 80 and so much of what you’re saying is very true. Improper “coaching” destroys a lot of young kid’s arm for the sake of winning the next game (no matter the cost!)…but, to realize the real reason all you need to do is “follow the money trail”, guys! When you put that $$$ carrot stick out there, both coaches & young athletes want to imitate their MLB superstars who just so happens to have signed a million dollar contract with a $250k signing bonus (just out of HS) or …or $500m/6yr contract, etc. These are life-changing propositions that most kids have no ability to handle…being “coached” in high school by men who want to be known for developing more players for college recruiters than anyone else on the planet. The seed is planted that MONEY is everything….”go for the gold” mentality. Thus, in many unplanned cases the “love of just playing a game” has been totally overlooked and it has become “all about the money”…IMHO. I’m not saying 100% of all coaches (in all HS sports actually) are guilty of this, but I believe you’d be amazed at how high the number is IF it was actually known. And while I’m at it…Football is even worse! You’ve got HS teams now not even wearing knee pads & cutting the pants off ABOVE the knee!!?…and wondering why there are so many season-ending injuries…one after the other? C’mon man! A team can be losing 40-0 in the last 2mins and you’ve got a bunch of guys doing a choreographed end zone dance because one of ‘em just intercepted a pass!!?? And you see 8-10 yr old Little Leaguers doing the same things! It’s a sad case, brothers….but I applaud your efforts to bring these points up. Unfortunately, the die is cast…but maybe, just maybe there are some men out there who will pay attention and save a few of these kids BEFORE the next level of sharks prey upon them with cash in their pockets! God bless you, my friends.

my 12U goal. Middle School Team 7th grade. 14U Goal High School Team. 18U goal? Education and Back-up plan.

Big problem with JC/CC is no strength coach no baseball trainer.

Calvert Hall High School in Maryland does this to their pitchers. It's a bunch of old men that are the coaches there and they have that old school mentality to ride their best pitchers into the ground. Multiple arm injuries across the board there. Sadly alot of these kids there are D1 caliber pitchers but by the time college comes around alot of those kids arms are cooked.

You guys say you don’t know why HS have baseball in October? For the school my son goes to, they have the incoming freshman playing with a select few upper class men.

That’s my trainer @silver

I can see silvers palms sweating from here

As a 13 years old boy im impressed hes already throwing 68 in 10 wow its almost dead straight

So how long should they rest between seasons? And what kind of training do they do during the off season?

Never misses

Professionals giving professional advice. So much knowledge out of these two, it’d be a crime not to listen and learn from them

Grew up in Upland and Rialto! I'ma a Dodgers fan but I love seeing this dude do his thing. Gotta represent the I.E. ... I see Joe Kelly in Rancho

Sí

He does not all that fast that is cap

Save his arm and work on the techniques. No need for speed at that age. Great arm though 👍 save it until hes fully grown.

When Fred says “Arnold” he’s really talkin about me

enlighten me

Faaacts! Great stuff coach! So many ppl think they do “everything” Are you really doing everything? Or did you go out after the football game knowing you have a saturday morning work out? Oh ok so youve done a few things ….

Kind of podcast I can continue to listen to keep up the good work men

Stop the 🧢

Pushing off your back foot

Driving of the back leg

Driving off the back leg

To be explosive off the mound

Shot in the dark but it’s training where to feel weight on the load

It trains your ability to quickly turn around and throw the ball

As a softball pitcher some of us use this to train for line drives coming back to us

I throw 70 in 8th grade

That's my little cousin Victor!!!

I threw for 76mph in 9th grade.

90 right on the money

I top 66 at 14😢😢

This is Anthony Guardado. He was the 89th overall pick in the 2015 MLB draft. Because of injuries and c**id he had stepped away from the game. He’s back and ready for more. Top 99mph

I played against 12 year olds that throw 80

Feel sorry for his elbow

Tommy John in about 2-3 years

That’s memorial park in upland

Is he Russian or Ukrainian ? Just curious

2024 prices for good baseball's is so expensive

That was an excellent location to use for games..Will get many hitters out throwing like that...Keep up the great work!

I’m 11 and I can through 60, I’m 5’6 tho

13 years old Aaron is going to need TJ

no it even 50 I throw like 71

No close to 66

Fake Radar bud I throw 68 at ten and that’s way slower that’s like 54

I’m not good at or interested in baseball, but that is very impressive

I’m in 6th grade and can shuffle 76.

I fucking love Dave

Skiball pro! 😂
