I’m getting pretty annoyed by pitchers showing vids of them hitting personal best numbers doing what look more like OF pull downs off the mound (and also flat ground). Saw a kid I know throw 91 using this technique and he is top FB 85 but settles in at 82-83. It just reminds me of kids chasing and posting amazing exit Velo and are usually 0.125 with nearly the same OBP. Maybe I’m wrong to be annoyed 🤷‍♂️

Do you think a College Coach (or anybody with a brain stem) is going to believe it without physically being there? Coaches trust their eyes, stopwatch, and other experienced coaches. This is one of the reasons recruiting goes on for months. The guy (typically HC) has to see the recruit with his own eyes (sometimes many times) before making the offer.

Don't think twice about these videos because nobody else does including the people that matter most.
