Pitching coach in mass

Don't know my Massachusetts geography very well but you might find an NPA-certified instructor near Boston by looking here.

Steven Ellis - former Cubs pitcher who has his own website and who often advertises his book TuffCuff on this site - lives near that area (I think) and give lessons. You should be able to contact him through his site.

Disclaimer: Yes, I am biased on both accounts as I am NPA-certified and I am one of Steven's website admins. But I get nothing out of making these recommendations.

Thanks for the recommendation, Roger

How close are you to Holliston MA?

TRhit,

We are probably about 45 min-1hr from Holliston, just 5 miles north of Boston.

I've seen your posting on this website and wonder about your "not throwing enough" statement? My son suffered a fractured growth plate in his shoulder last summer, which the orthopedic labelled an overuse injury. As he was out of all sports for 3 month, we are trying to become mored educated about pitch counts, throwing, etc. Noticed the ASMI statement advising 3-4 months away from baseball each year. What are your thoughts?

I am not a pitching coach---I am talking about the kids throwing not pitching---playing catch which builds up the arm with minimal stress

O.K. thanks for the clarification!

Are you interested in the people I know in your area?

Absolutely! Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

TRhit,

Are you still out there? I've done a little research and come up with winning pitchers academy out of Springfield, Mass run by John Miller. Have you heard anything about the program?

I'm in Wellesley but not doing lessons this summer b/c I'm coaching our local 16U team. Some of the pitchers on my team have worked at Winning Pitchers, Doug Carrols Baseball Academy and Frozen Ropes in Framingham, MA -- all with mixed results. Depends on the instructor, in my opinion. There are also a bunch of Extra Innings throughout Mass. And the Strike Zone Academy in Danvers.

Good luck.
