ROT (Return on Time) Improves your Results


To become YOUR best, you must set the right goals, listen to yourself, focus on what you do well and measure your location.

Time is your most valuable asset!!!

The sooner you start focusing on your ROT, the sooner your opponents begin struggling to make solid contact with any pitch you throw.

ROT Tip #1 - Your Goal

1. The fastest way to stop wasting your time is knowing the answer to this question …
“What is the goal of your goal?”

Finding the answer to this question means you won’t bite off more than you can chew and, by realizing these smaller victories, your results will improve exponentially.

ROT Tip#2 - Care About You

2. Stop listening to everyone else’s opinion and start listening to your inner-most thoughts.

This stops you from letting others disrupt your natural flow and, with your natural flow intact, you instantly begin producing better results.

ROT Tip#3 - Think about What You Do Right

3. Think more about the things you do right than the things you do wrong.

Stop focusing on the things you do wrong and your positive energy drives better results.

ROT Tip#4 - Keep It Simple

4. Keep it simple.

Measure the frequency of your balls traveling into your target. The more your ball travels into your target, the more the measurements the baseball community wants to see falls into line.

Stop Wasting Your Time

To become YOUR best, you must set the right goals, listen to yourself, focus on what you do well and measure your location.

If You’re Aiming, You’re Blaming


My “Winning Pitch Location Strategies©” offers cutting-edge, dynamic front leg lifts that are guaranteed to engage your lower half and, without having to aim, force you to deliver your pitches directly into your target.

Location is all about your safety

Your body signals your brain about your position, alignment and movements. Your brain uses this information to keep you upright and injury free. When necessary, your brain automatically makes corrections that’ll keep you from getting hurt.

In pitching, your drive for safety becomes your advantage!

The conscious work you put into your front leg lift combines with your throwing action to force your stride.

Once you complete your stride, to get back in balance, your body goes through an array of automatic actions. To your advantage, a critical piece of this spontaneous response is your throwing action.

Continually combine your dynamic front leg lift with an automatic stride and, without any conscious thought, your movements produce the same excellent results over and over and over again.

Sustainable pitch location is complicated, but far from impossible

Ending your front leg lift in a dynamic position requires a working knowledge of every Law of Nature. 

Overlook even the most insignificant factor and, because you’re dealing with balance, you tip the scales to losing your hips, struggling with location, tipping your pitches and showing your opponent a very predictable ball path.

My “Winning Pitch Location Strategies©” offers cutting-edge, dynamic front leg lifts that are guaranteed to engage your lower half and, without having to aim, force you to deliver your pitches directly into your target.

To be successful, you need the sustainable lower half driven location contained in my “Winning Pitch Location Strategies©”. To find out more, contact me.

Where does pitch location come from?


If no one you know can teach you to prepare, activate and trust your body to locate your pitches, the “Pitch Location Masterclass©” is here for you!

Location comes from the way your body works

When you step on very slick ice, without thinking about it, your body goes into alert mode and, to make sure you don’t fall over, your arms take on a life of their own.

Your alert mode ends when you no longer need your arms for balance. It’s only at this point that you can think about how you want to move.

Therefore, when in alert mode, you have no control over your movements, but, when you no longer need your arms for balance, you have complete control over how you want to move.

Location means you want to be out-of-control

Location means …
  1. Before you complete your stride, you create a moment of balance,
  2. You then use a pre-planned movement to trigger your alert mode, then
  3. You let your alert mode use your throwing action to get your body back in balance.

Location comes from proper preparation, understanding alert mode triggers and realizing the combination of the two makes your pitch location almost foolproof.

Location revolves around trust

Pitch location is and exercise in…
  • Preparing your body to go into alert mode,
  • Sparking your alert mode and
  • Trusting your body to produce the pitch location everyone else is searching to find! 
If no one you know can teach you to prepare, activate and trust your body to locate your pitches, the “Pitch Location Masterclass©” is here for you!

A Roadmap to Pitch Location


The “Pitcher’s Location Masterclass©” sets and keeps you on the path that’ll turn you into the Pitcher you want to be.

Slight changes, big consequences

Let’s forget about pitching for a second and take a pretend trip.
  • We’re in different cars driving side-by-side.
  • There’s a fork in the road where the forks are separated by a single degree.
  • You continue moving straight and I take the one-degree fork in the road.

At first the difference between us is very slight, but well down the road, we end up far, far away from one another.

Alter your path and you may never recover?

Your body is programmed to follow a single road map that’ll produce the location you need to constantly challenge all hitters.

Any variation from this path and you’ll never really know with any certainty where your ball will end up.
  •  A small (but critical) change takes you away from your desired, location-producing path.
  • Once this small change takes hold, because you’re not locating your pitches, you make another slight change.
  • To compensate, in an attempt to improve your location, you continue making change after change.

In a short time, you’ve made so many changes that you get lost and challenging the hitters you face becomes virtually impossible.

The solution

My “Pitcher’s Location Masterclass©” gives you your personal road map to productive location.

These Masterclasses give you …
  • An action plan for productive pitch location.
  • A vision of what your “good” looks like.
  • A method to leverage the way your body is built to work.
  • Long-term, productive habits.

The “Pitcher’s Location Masterclass©” sets and keeps you on the path that’ll turn you into the Pitcher you want to be.

Pitchers: “Standout location” tips the scale in your favor!

I’ve quietly spent 25+ years outside the baseball community figuring out how to teach “standout location”. I’ve gone unnoticed as I supplemented MLB Coaches’ directions and  helped their Pitchers use their location to log hundreds of MLB innings.  If you want “standout location”, I’m here for you too!


“Standout location” solidifies your pitching future.

Pitchers with “standout location” become the total pitching package.
  • You’ll know how to deliver each pitch directly into your Catcher’s intended target.
  • When you miss your target, you’ll put so much late movement on your ball that your opponent still struggles to make solid contact with the ball.
  • When you completely and totally miss your target, you’ll know how to get your next pitch to go where you expect.
  •  No matter the pitch called, your fastball arm speed will keep your opponent guessing about pitch movement and speed.
  • Every time you take the mound, your Team will know you’re capable of keeping them close enough to win.

When you show “standout location”, you become the Pitcher everyone expects and, in the process, you become the envy of every Pitcher who can’t do what you do.

Between your efficient-looking motion and your sustainably excellent results, you shout to MLB Teams that you’re a Pitcher ready to pitch 100+ MLB innings.

It’s never too early to develop “standout location”.

The earlier you discover “standout location”, the easier it’ll become to transition into High School, then College and, perhaps, beyond?

Don’t let your stats lull you into thinking you’re better than you are.

Without “standout location”, untrained, impatient hitters help you compensate for your inability to locate your pitches. They miss pitches they shouldn’t. They swing at pitches they can’t drive. They get behind in counts where they shouldn’t.

Since measuring your ability to locate your pitches would bum you out, you happily let hitters pad your stats, then you use their stats to give you the warm-and-buzzy feeling that you’re better than you really are.

MLB Teams need Pitchers with “standout location”.

MLB Organizations don’t know how to and don’t have to teach location. If they did, there would be a surplus of quality pitching!

Instead, MLB Teams rely on numbers to compensate for their inability to teach location. They continually sift through the available Pitchers, pick the one with the best location and wait to see the results. When the Pitcher they picked doesn’t work out, they fill the slot with another Pitcher. This cycle continues and, when they eventually find a Pitcher who displays “standout location”. the Pitcher is there for 100+ MLB innings.

Eventually location determines your future.

Against MLB hitters who get paid to drive your mistakes, the advantages you had against lower level hitters totally disappear.

It’s at this point that “standout location” becomes the gateway to your pitching future.

There’s only one place to learn “standout location”!

By association, any past or present MLB Pitcher or Coach has done and is doing some extraordinary things, but, when you see the lack of pitch location within the current pitching population, it’s obvious they don’t know how to teach “standout location”. Therefore, to learn “standout location”, you must go outside baseball.

To this end, I’ve quietly spent 25+ years outside the baseball community figuring out how to teach “standout location”. I’ve gone unnoticed as I supplemented MLB Coaches’ directions and  helped their Pitchers use their location to log hundreds of MLB innings.

If you want “standout location”, I’m here for you too!

Your center of gravity centers your location.


Over 20 years of seeing the various paths pitching careers can possibly take, right now, this instant, your pitching career is at a crossroads. The way people remember your baseball career will reflect on the decision you make today!

Maintain your center of gravity

When you place your center of gravity just in front of your back-foot, you force your body to spontaneously bring your throwing hand through the same spot on every pitch.

Getting your body to revolve around your center of gravity forces each pitch to travel directly into your intended target. Consequently, your pitching stands out as markedly better than any pitchers competing for the same openings as you!

Lose your center of gravity

The instant your movements place your center of gravity over your back foot, you force a front-to-back or back-to-front weight shift, you use your throwing arm to stabilize your center of gravity and, consequently, you never really know with any confidence where any one pitch will end up.

By placing your center of gravity over your back foot, you place your motion in a state of chaos, your release window changes from one pitch to the next and the Pitchers who end with their center of gravity in front of their back-foot outperform you.

Stop wasting your time

Learning to manage your center of gravity can happen in 5 minutes. Gaining the confidence associated with proper center of gravity management is what takes the most time.

You can use trial-and-error to learn proper center of gravity management or you can spend 5-minutes with me, get your body to rotate around your center of gravity and become the stand out Pitcher you always dreamed you’d be?

Where is your pitching career headed?

Over 20 years of seeing the various paths pitching careers can possibly take, right now, this instant, your pitching career is at a crossroads. The way people remember your baseball career will reflect on the decision you make today!

Ask yourself this simple question. “How does my pitching stand out from everyone else?”

If you must think about your answer, contact me immediately!

How to Produce the Best Pitching Results Ever?


Ask me to show you the movement patterns that are guaranteed to supercharge your pitching career!

What does a naturally productive throwing action look like?

A naturally automatic throwing action looks like this!
Should I ask you to make an imaginary throwing action, your entire body simply, naturally and automatically pulls your throwing hand into your make-believe release.
Miraculously, every time you make this throwing action, your throwing hand moves through the same spot.
That’s exactly what you want out of your pitching motion ... entirely natural, totally spontaneous and extremely repeatable.

How your “functional” motion can quickly turn “dysfunctional”?

When you “try” to deliver each pitch directly into a target, your very “functional”, totally natural and extremely repeatable motion turns into a “dysfunctional” mess and here’s why?
Let’s say I move back a few yards, hold my hand up to give you a target and ask you to use your natural throwing action to deliver the ball directly into my hand.
You do everything you did before and (ugh!) you watch the ball miss your target???
When I give you a second chance to hit my target, you compensate for your inadequate arm slot by consciously changing your natural movement pattern.

How I keep your “functional” functional?

You, like everyone, possess a natural throwing action where, every time you make a throwing action, your entire body pulls your throwing hand through the same productive release point all the time.
To keep you delivering every pitch directly into your target, I teach you the field-tested movement patterns that’ll force your body to pull your throwing hand through the same tiny, yet extremely productive, release window.

How you think and what you see measures your results.

No matter what anyone tells you, you have a dysfunctional delivery when ...
  • You miss your target and, to get your next pitch to go and do what you want, you change your arm slot.
  • You can’t trust any one pitch to go and do what you want.
  • You don’t regularly see consecutive strings of pitches traveling into your intended target.
  • Your bullpen sessions are consumed with “trying” to fix stuff.

When you can honestly expect each pitch to go and do what you want, you can be assured your body is naturally and automatically driving your pitching results.

How you spend your pitching career is up to you?

You can either …
  • Waste your pitching career “trying” to find the right movement patterns that’ll produce the results you know you need or
  • Ask me to show you the movement patterns that are guaranteed to supercharge your pitching career!

If the second choice sounds best, let’s talk.
