Welcome

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my Blog. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Michael Gedman I am currently the assistant baseball coach at Bryant University a division 1 school in Smithfield RI. I played division 1 baseball at Lemoyne College in Syracuse NY for my freshman year before transferring to the University of Massachusetts Amherst for my final 3 years of college. In college I was a two way player pitching and also playing first base. I just finished my rookie season of professional baseball for the Worcester Tornadoes of the Canam League where I was a left handed relief pitcher.

I have to give credit to Chris Colabello for showing me the way. He writes an excellent blog: http://everythinghitting-cc20.blogspot.com/2011/10/whos-this-guy_12.html where he dives into all sorts of hitting subjects. I use a lot of his information with my hitters at Bryant. My blog is for pitchers only as there is not enough good information out there for pitchers looking to improve their craft. I want to put together some information for you on all aspects of pitching. There are many pitching coaches out there that are teaching kids the wrong way to go about delivering a baseball. There is no quick fix to becoming a better pitcher. Pitching is all about consistency and being able to repeat the same delivery over and over again. However, the most important element of pitching is the mental aspect. There are countless pitchers out there who could throw a baseball over 90mph that never had a chance to play professional baseball. They had the physical tools necessary but were unable to master the mental side of the game. I hope that you can take some of the information from this blog and use it to bring your game to the next level!
