Just bought Dear Baseball Gods on audible...... listening Wednesday thru Friday while driving...... thanks Coach

[@nelsoncruz184]

Very thorough video coach Dan. Whip is a good indicator of pitching efficiency, and Batting average against.

[@joegeren8929]

10 year old..... 27 innings pitched... WHIP is 1.40.... 56 K, 24 BB, 14 hits... great info on using more white of plate early in count. Thanks Coach. 4 tournaments left.. including State and 2 World Series tournaments. I’ll write u back at year end. See if we can get it to 1.2...

[@DanBlewett]

10 is young, so don't stress the stats. But pitching more to the white is a great thing at his age.

I’ve been wondering this for years

[@DanBlewett]

Bad WHIP = Bad Pitching, Good WHIP = Successful Pitcher

[@jimschneider5193]

I honestly try not to get caught up on statistics at 12U. But after you explained this I had to look at his. With 35.4 innings pitched his Whip is 1.121 with a ERA of 2.019. Also after he watched your Change up video, he tried your grip, and his ball had great sink. Appreciate your video's. He didn't even tell me he was trying the new grip till after last game. Lol

[@DanBlewett]

A WHIP of 1.12 means he's pitching well - controlling a good amount of the game; the ERA could vary a lot more at his age even with a good WHIP. Glad the videos are helping!

[@mephistoninja2213]

I think I said this on another video but you should make a slider course like you have for your curveball.

[@DanBlewett]

Well I have a paid course for the curve, changeup and sinker - all three pitches. But I didn't throw a slider (except for trying to, kinda, one season) so I just really don't feel qualified to teach it. I think I'm pretty honest about what I know and don't know, and try not to step over that line. I've taught a lot of kids sliders over the years but it's just a lot more of a nebulous thing compared to the curveball, and I'm much better at teaching the curve since I threw it for 15 years as a player.
