1. When doing drills in the T position, always  make sure you stay on your power line.

2. Work on your wrist snaps on a daily basis! They can be done anywhere.

3. Stay focused during bullpen sessions. They are crucial for game day performance.

4. If you try to over throw or “muscle” the ball, you will lose movement. Rely on your wrist and hand to do the work.

5. During games always know your count and be on the same page as your catcher by communicating between innings.

6. Be sure your catcher knows how you feel and what pitches may or may not be working that day.

7. If it seems like the ball is moving a little slow, try increasing your arm speed and leg drive.

8. Have a goal set for each bullpen, there is always something to work and improve upon.

9. Always make sure you have command over your fastball. It’s the easiest pitch to spot.

10. If you throw a bad pitch, never let it affect your next one, shake it off.
