Connor Blue | University of Cincinnati
Connor Blue started training with MPL as a high school junior. He was already a talented pitcher, but our initial assessment identified a few areas of emphasis: improving his front-side mechanics, developing a sharper curveball with a more consistent shape, and improving overall mobility to support his long-term health and performance.
When Connor first started with us, he was sitting 83–87mph. By the end of high school, he was sitting 90–93 and topping out at 96mph.
His freshman year at the University of Cincinnati, Connor became an integral piece of the Bearcats’ pitching staff, logging over 60 innings. Now a sophomore, he’s sitting 94–97mph and touching 98 this fall, putting himself in position to compete for a weekend starting role.
Four years of development, adjustments, and continued work. Connor’s progression is a great example of what can happen when talent is paired with a commitment to getting better.
Proud of the work he’s put in and excited to see what’s ahead.
