"Ability" moves you past pitchers with "potential".


Your skills at your current level show the ability to compete at the next level.

Most pitcher get promoted based upon their "potential".
  • They get promoted and, because they don't have the "ability" to compete, come right back to where they started.
By using your mind's "built-in response mechanism" to power your skills, your show next level evaluators that you have the "ability" to compete at the next level.
  • As soon as a scout sees you have the "ability" to compete, you move past the pitchers who have a lot of "potential".
  • Better yet, once you do get your promotion, your "ability" makes you instantly competitive.
At the next level, the hitters will most assuredly be more disciplined and more patient.
  • Your "ability" makes you more likely to stay at the next level than pitchers with just "potential".
  • With "ability", instead of having a results orientation, you need to focus on your motion.
With "ability...
  • You motion produces your results. Your results don’t produce your results.
  • Your motion produces pinpoint location.
  • Your next level catcher places his target in a spot where your next level opposition can't drive the ball, you hit his spot and you instantly dominate at the next level.
  • Your motion shows the next level hitter, no matter your grip, a deceptive fastball arm speed.
  • Your spontaneous throwing reaction channels your lower body energy into your throwing hand which generates much later ball movement.
A focus on your motion shows a scout you have the "ability' to keep your next level opponents off balance and prevent them from driving your pitches.
