Tyler Rogers is the only MLB pitcher with an average release height under two feet. The focus of my off-season training has been lowering my own release point from roughly three feet to Rogers-range, but twelve years using the same slot has grooved an extremely deep attractor well. Early... in the off-season, @Crider_HP programmed variable slot and implement work to destabilize my old angle and open up different solutions within my movement landscape. More recently, I’ve built familiarity with my desired slot by constraining start positions at/below the goal, adding rhythm to access the new angle dynamically, and then using variability/representative context to stabilize the pattern. My recent bullpen average? 1.8 feet. Good training, as they say.show more

should probably just get a job

I’m trying Mike

Giving Rogers a run for his money! I feel like my low back would turn into jelly throwing from that slot

how does your stuff compare at the extreme low arm slot? i can get real low but i notice my velo and movement gets worse the lower i go. i throw my mix from about -25 degrees release. but been playing with a 4 seam “change up” released as low as possible

Did hip mobility restrictions get in your way at all?

@OnePitchOneSoul The primary mobility considerations were hip flexion and spinal flexion/lateral flexion. The amount of side-bend Rogers gets leading into release is absurd.

Do you mean hip flexion with IR or did IR not matter much? I assumed it'd be important to open pelvis despite steep hip tilt (right hip sinking)

Awesome, Josh! Wish you all the best!

Post career, you have a future in rock skipping!

Good luck to you. Seriously dont know why more guys who are struggling to break through dont try this, or anything, different from everyone else.

Would velo be a problem? I don't think Rogers ever hit 90

WELCOME TO TEXAS GOAT

You’ll be sorry

I hope you have a good chiropractor. My back hurts just watching that. 🙊

let’s fuckin go

Best of luck. Good work.
