[QUOTE="eokerholm, post: 660040, member: 5007"] JacketOff, Yes VERY GOOD STUFF!! The cool part of DBo and his toys is he has this stuff portable. He has a hand held camera that records all that and gives him spin rates, axis, efficiency, etc. That is why he gets a following at the various events he goes to and said he gets a lot of hitting coaches following him as he's looking at pitchers and the other guys the batters. The pitching lab allows tweaking of each players capabilities, motion/release, finger placements, etc. and accentuates them. He's able to take a guy with less speed and give him better efficiency and spin rates to do more with the ball. It was a very fun conversation with him regarding starting at the plate and what the batter sees and working back to the mound and what is thrown and how. I thought it was very cool the way he mentioned they're not there to completely change someones mechanics and arm slot like other programs. He's recruiting elite arms, and they got that way, their way and he is here to build on that and take it up a notch. I mentioned that Christian's pitching coach was talking about picking up a 5th pitch, a sinker, this off season and spring and what he thought of that. He already throws FB, Change, Cutter/Slider and a Curve. DBo said based on Christian's metrics and high efficiencies and the way he naturally spins the ball it won't "Sink" as most do because he's so efficient and it would slide. Something they could use but said that they would work with him on other pitches that leverage and rely on how he currently throws and spins. I thought that was really telling of his capabilities. He was also super excited when he heard and got to see him dunking. He said his "brain smiled" when Christian told him his vertical is 34". He was doing all the force translations and such. He's going to have fun working [B]individually[/B] with each of our pitchers and really take them to the next level and bring great things to the program. You can see that in the metrics and improvements to them that he's posted already in the short time he's worked with the existing group. He definitely knows his craft and what he's doing and the word is out. It's going to be awesome! It is going to be really exciting to be with this program and Christian is super excited about working with DBo and the rest of the team and coaches. An incredible honor and opportunity we don't take lightly. Very much looking forward to getting on campus. He might come early in the summer of 2021 and take a few classes to get ahead academically. Jury is still out on that one.... [/QUOTE]
