Hosted by Tanner Jesson-Dalton and Ian Finlay
Special guests: Jordy Alexander and Cooper Finch
This camp is targeting players ages 15+ with a strong sense of wanting to focus on pitching as they move forward in their baseball careers.
At this four day camp, you will be using Rapsodo Pitching for ball flight analytics, video from behind to look at ball movement and tunneling, and side video for mechanics.
Pitchers will capture video and data on Day 1 as a baseline. This video will then be broken down to set up individualized drills for pitchers. We will then talk about how your pitches are moving, ways to increase movement, or how to stay consistent on your movements.
Catchers will be working with Cooper Finch and Ian Finlay. The focus will be on receiving, blocking, transfers, and in game strategies to elevate your game to the next level. You will also be working with specific pitchers to understand their pitch shaping, letting them know if they are ‘tipping’ pitches, along with giving constructive feedback. We will match up talent between pitchers and catchers so you are able to have the dialogue appropriate for your level.
Investment: $400 for 8hrs of small group training, video breakdowns, and notes.
