Coach Blanc

Happy 4th birthday to our little man. 4️⃣

4 years down and a lifetime of chaos to come 🎃 🤛

What do 96+ mph arms actually share mechanically?

Watch any compilation of elite velocity and try to find the “checkpoints” they all supposedly hit. Leg lifts, postures, pelvis positions, arm actions, every single one varies.

Swipe through the breakdown. 👉

If elite velocity were as simple as “hit these positions,” we’d have an army of guys living in triple digits.

Positions matter, but the TIMING of those positions matters a whole hell of a lot more.

Physiology shapes function → function shapes organization → organization shapes timing → timing shapes output.

Every arm has its own signature.
Train accordingly.

Signed. ✍️

Congrats to Josh Winder on signing with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Nobody sees the Monday morning throws and workouts in an empty facility. Nobody claps when you hit a checkpoint on a rehab progression. But that’s where this was built.

Cueing isn’t free.

Every instruction you give an athlete pulls attention off the target and onto the body. One cue is manageable. Four cues and you’ve got a pitcher running a checklist instead of competing.

External focus wins for a reason, the intent organizes the movement better than your verbal instructions do.

Give them a target.
Give them a task.
Give them a reason to care about the outcome.
Then get out of the way.

The pattern shows up on its own.

Most coaching jobs hand you a radar gun or Trackman iPad and a plan someone else wrote.

This one hands you a force plate mound, 3D kinematics, and the authority to build the program yourself.

The radar gun says he’s back, the data may say otherwise.

New research tracked every MLB player who had a shoulder labrum repair from 2017-2024 and the comeback story splits hard by position.

Position players? They bounce back.

~93% return to the majors, with no real drop in power, contact, or defense.

Pitchers are a different story. Under half make it back, and it takes them ~7 months longer. Here’s the kicker: their velocity, spin, and movement all return to normal - but the advanced metrics that grade pitch quality (Stuff+, Pitching+, Location+) crater to league-average or below. The fastball looks the same, it just doesn’t miss bats anymore.

The takeaway for anyone managing a throwing athlete: don’t clear a pitcher on velocity alone. Track command and pitch-quality metrics deep into late-stage rehab, plan for a longer timeline, and reset expectations for that first season back.

Swipe through for the full breakdown 👉 Save it for your staff and send it to a coach who needs to see it.
