LET’S GET REAL ABOUT COMMAND!


Don’t get us wrong, velocity WILL get you notice, but it’s command that guarantees a long and prosperous pitching career.

Baseball’s Artificial Reality

The baseball community misleads and deceives you into thinking velocity will get you where you want.

Therefore, the baseball community’s artificial consensus turns velocity into a manufactured reality.

Don’t get us wrong, velocity WILL get you notice, but it’s command that guarantees a long and prosperous pitching career. 

How do you measure command?

Just like velocity, command is a black-and-white observation. Did the ball travel directly into your target or didn’t it?

You measure command as the ratio of pitches traveling directly into your target compared to the total pitches thrown.

The higher the ratio, the more effective you are as a Pitcher.

How did velocity become an artificial reality?

Because Pitching Coaches don’t know how to teach command, they’re not going to measure something they can’t teach.

Velocity is easy to measure and, as such, becomes a Pitching Coach’s go to measurement.

What’s Your Reality?

 When you pitch professionally, everyone around you throws as hard as you. It’s at this point that command separates the “haves” from the “have nots”.

When you execute your pitch directly into your target, the professional hitter you’re facing is less likely to drive the ball.

Without command, you risk missing your target over the plate, the hitter driving the ball and your Team asking someone with command to replace you.

Unfair, but true.

Your Pitching Coach is going to teach velocity, not command.

It’s unfair and your chances of success are slim, but to achieve your pitching dreams, you become responsible for teaching yourself something your Pitching Coach can’t.

Here’s the good news.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches command. No matter where you live, we skillfully use Facebook Messenger to make you indispensable to your Coach and your Team.
