Mike Marshall?? Read this!!

Save this topic fpr April 1.

DR Marshall was a pretty fair MLB Pitcher in his day

But if what you say he is doing is true, there must be a pretty long line of players with daddy/mommy at his door and all have them are sure to have written the check

As stated above-- save it for April 1

quote:

---

My friend has been told he will be throwing 100 pitches every day at over 100mph with 8 different pitches.

---

someone told me it was 200 pitches a day at 105 mph!

What is happening on April 1st?

It sounds pretty interesting to me. I think it's worth looking into.

Too funny!

Wow. 100 pitches a day! 100 MPH! 8 different pitches! If Kerry Wood, who throws mid-90's fastball, curve, slider and change-4 pitches, started every game, and threw 100 pitches each game, wouldn't he be having surgery by the end of the week? Baseball's been around for a while, don't you think that every way to throw a baseball has been developed? I'm curious to know what this "brand new way to throw a baseball" is!

Where can we read more information about this? It certainly sounds too good to be true!

Here is his website.

I've been e-mailing him back and forth for a few days. It sounds very interesting to me. If you saw how he teaches to throw, you would think he was crazy! It's almost like throwing a dart and a screwball move with the arm.

What's the saying about if something sounds too good to be true??

Loved the bolded part:

b. Coaching


Dr. Marshall charges ten dollars ($10.00) per day for coaching. On their arrival, fifty-week and forty-week partners pay two thousand eight hundred dollars ($2,800.00) for coaching and two hundred and eighty-nine dollars ($289.00) for equipment. On their arrival, eight-week partners pay five hundred and sixty dollars ($560.00) for coaching and one hundred and forty-four dollars ($144.00) for equipment.

Thereafter, for as long as college and recent high school graduates pitch college baseball, they can train for free. If they get an opportunity to pitch professionally, they pay Dr. Marshall five percent of their professional baseball-related income in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per month. If partners desire, Dr. Marshall will represent them for only approved expenses.

Geez, what are you gonna say when you go to a camp and the scout asks you what pitches you throw? "4-seam torque maxline fastball, 4-seam maxline pronation curve, 2-seam torque sinker, and 2-seam maxline pronation screwball".

Ted Williams book was called The Science of Hitting, not the Rocket Science of Hitting. I like batspeed.com better because it has explainable science-not rocket science- and a discussion board.

The network I run in say Marshall is either 20 years ahead of his time, or other.

Now that his video tapes are out, it's easier to 'see' his teaching approach.

His "short" program is a 10 month committment.

And get this. He uses 6# wieghted balls

Let's see.
That's 100mph with 100 pitches, That's about...1mph per pitch!!
