Pitching lessons and where to go for them

TP, with an attitude like that, and a willingness to fork over your own BDay and XMas $$$$ for lessons, Sandburg will be LUCKY to have you. Plus, mid-70's should WELL-qualify you for a freshmen team, even at a school as baseball-solid as Sandburg. I wish you were up north, with your approach and willingness to work, I'd give you some free lessons in exchange for doing some work around my facility. Best of luck to you, and it sounds like Sandburg is getting a good kid!

Man, I could go for some free lessons. Everywhere that i have looked wants me to sign my life over to them before they will even talk to me. Where can a guy who wants to work hard and pay little go?

One way to be economical is to go to a coach that you respect.....take some lessons and have him tell you what you need to do mechanically to improve. Maybe 3-4 lessons.(Whatever you can afford) Then continue to work out and every few weeks go back to make sure you are where you need to be. Being able to self-analyze and adjusting are key parts to your developement as a pitcher.

I sent you a PM.

Thanks for the input guys..and if anyone else has any specific recommendations on instructors I can see for a good price that would also be appreciated.

TP...Call Bob Gillund at the Ball Park in Mokena.

Explain your situation to him and he might give you a break on lessons.

He was at Andrew as their pitching coach for a long time. Think he's at TP now, but knows the old SICA West teams and coaches very well.

Can't go wrong. Tell him John Petrulis told you to call him and he might give you a free pop. (lol)
