Our Theme:
"Turning Theory Into Practice" 

To succeed in turbulent times, you must
turn new ideas into new actions for your pitchers

"Success leaves clues. Find people who are creating the results you seek, and listen to them." - Ron Wolforth 

Dear Colleague,

You and I can both agree: COVID-19 has turned the baseball world upside down.

Of course, we’re all excited that baseball is making its way back.

But your pitchers may be at serious risk for a painful arm injury ...

... because our normal training programs were interrupted back in spring.

This year we had a bunch of guys who were shut down in March ... they didn't train or throw hard for months ... and suddenly they were back on the mound and throwing fastballs.

The danger -- in 2020 and beyond -- is that pitchers may be throwing too hard, too fast, WITHOUT enough proper recovery.

It’s a recipe for disaster.

A rash of serious arm injuries is happening.

Major League Baseball is a perfect example. This season, the IL has been loaded with pitchers dealing with shoulder and elbow issues.

That's why now, more than ever, you need to join me and 75 of your peers at ...

The Ultimate Pitching Coaches Bootcamp

First, you must realize that we're in an uncertain time in 2020. There's NEVER been another year like this one for baseball players, especially pitchers. Spring training was messed up. The season delayed. Nothing is normal right now.

Second, realize this: Arm health and performance are NOT separate ideas. The two are inextricably linked.

Because if your guys have to rest and can't throw bullpens or train between starts, they're not developing as pitchers. They're not getting any better. And their future is bleak.

Which is why we put together this year's Boot Camp. To help your pitchers greatly reduce their risk of injuries, while throwing harder, with better command.

For 20 years now, I've hosted this symposium for pitching coaches of all levels, at the Texas Baseball Ranch.

Here we gather and hear top experts share training and development processes that could be implemented immediately. We have been blessed over that time to have the very best pitching minds speak on our stage.

I am so excited to tell you that this year, in honor of our 21st year, we have gathered the best of the presenters from the past two decades and brought them together for this year's theme: "Turning Theory Into Practice."

These are names you'll recognize as the true thought leaders and revolutionaries in the pitching universe.

This Year's Lineup:

• Andy McKay - Director of Player Development, Seattle Mariners
• Jono Arnold - Pitching Coordinator, Texas Rangers
• Josh Kalk - Pitching Data Analyst, Minnesota Twins
• Lee Fiocchi - Head S&C Coach, LA Angels
• Eugene Bleecker - 108 Performance
• Brian Kight – Founder, Daily Discipline
• Dr. Joe LaCaze - Rotex Sports

• Garrett Wolforth – Catcher, Cincinnati Reds Organization
• Chris Farish - Former Pitcher, Detroit Tigers Organization
  

Without any additional details, I think you'd agree, this event is set up to be absolutely incredible. 

But let's dig in deeper...

If you're not getting the results you want from your pitchers in 2020, you need to make changes. The UPCBC will showcase 16 top experts in player development who show you how to do exactly that.  

Many times -- as you already know -- it's not about working harder, it's about working differently.

Think about the guys you coach. In your stable, you almost certainly have several high-quality arms that are under-performing. 

Why is it that some guys respond to information right away, while others struggle? Some guys "get it" and can modify their movement pattern in just a few reps ... while others really scuffle to adjust. 

Why is that?

In my experience coaching players of all ages and abilities ... from high school freshmen to Cy Young winners like Justin Verlander and Barry Zito ... here's what I've come to understand:

If Our Guys Are Struggling in 2020, It's Not Them.
It's Us. We're Not Giving Them What They Need.
And We Have To Adjust ... 

For example, if 25% of our staff aren't developing better fastballs or secondary stuff, it's not them. It's us. And we need to make changes.

When pitchers fail to develop new skills, 9 times out of 10, we are contributing to that failure.

And ... bluntly ... sooner or later, that blame is going to attach to us. 

But that doesn't have to be the end of the story. We don't have to accept frustrating, mediocre performance. We simply need to take advantage of the latest scientific findings and "best practices." And the good news is ...

Solving The Problems That All Coaches Face Is The Sole Purpose Of The UPCBC  

When it comes to helping your players reach the next level ... 

... you'll find the answers you've been missing at the 21st Annual "Ultimate Pitching Coaches Boot Camp,” at The Texas Baseball Ranch, December 4-6, 2020.

Give us just 3 days in December, and we’ll give you one full year's worth of gains in your coaching skills.

Experts like Andy McKay from the Seattle Mariners ... Josh Kalk from the Minnesota Twins ... Jono Armold from the Texas Rangers you can see the whole list below.

Now, for the first time ever, you'll get access to latest coaching breakthroughs in 2020 and beyond.

Here's an example of ...

What The World Has Yet To Learn
From The Revolution In Weighted Balls  

The baseball world is like the rest of the world. Trends come and go.  

In 2020, weighted balls are a trend. You can find pitching coaches using them in every corner of the U.S. and Canada ... as well as such far-flung places as Italy, the Netherlands and Australia.  

But it wasn’t always this way.  

When I first started using weighted balls back in 1993, they were decidedly out of fashion. Baseball “experts” were almost unanimously against them. They thought it was reckless and put players at a greater risk of injury.  

In 2003, we invited Paul Nyman to speak at our Coaches Boot Camp.  

He was an engineer -- with a background in track!? -- and he gave two presentations that changed forever how we trained at The Ranch. He proposed a structured, incremental weighted ball throwing program, coupled with radar for feedback. To Nyman and his engineering/track background, it was common sense. To the baseball elite, it was heresy. To us, it was a missing piece in the puzzle.

In 2005, Dr. Mike Marshall, Cy Young winner, spoke at our Coaches Boot Camp.  

He delivered a fiery presentation that laid the foundation for how we train athletes today -- by preparing the soft tissue before any velocity enhancement program. And our weighted ball training efforts took a huge leap forward.

What's the moral of this story?

To the outside world, the revolution in weighted ball training may have been a surprise. But if you were here, at our Coaches Boot Camp, learning from the likes of Paul Nyman and Dr. Mike Marshall ... you had this information months and even years before "mainstream" coaches caught wind of the changes.

In other words ...

You Can Join Us Here And Get Ahead In 2020.
Or Stay Home and Risk Falling Behind...
At The Expense of Your Pitchers.
