Bullpens are where the habits are built.

🎥 Changeup.
Different movement. Same goal.
Move it quick. Stop it quick.
Can you tell what changed between the two catches?

Pitchers and catchers — this summer is for you.
Introducing the Berg Backstops Battery Camps in Nashville.
These camps are built to develop both sides of the battery: pitchers sharpening mechanics, command, and ex*****on; catchers improving receiving, blocking, throwing, communication, and leadership.
Then we bring it together through competitive bullpens and game-like reps.

I’m excited to have Kaleb Kantola leading the pitching side of the camps.
Kaleb is a senior RHP, was named to the NCBWA Midseason Stopper of the Year Watchlist, and will bring detailed pitching instruction focused on mechanics, command, velocity, and competing on the mound.

Big-time throw from my guy Ale in our first game of the ASUN tournament.
1.76 pop time. Right on the money.
What stood out most was how smooth it was: clean transfer, controlled feet, no wasted movement and an accurate throw that gave the runner no chance.
With wet grass, the long hop was the right throw — firm, under control and easy for the infielder to handle.
Smooth is fast. Accuracy finishes the play.
