Kankakee NSA nightmare
That and all of those NSA Kankakee tournaments haven't changed in years. It's always the same issues. Take a look around there are other non sanctioned tournaments around. Again O'Fallon and St. Louis is place to be if you're A level if not, I believe there are other tournaments around the area...- Jay Bolden

A message to coaches from a pitching instructor.
Haha!! Honestly the college coaches should be the ones reading that. They are messing up the kids more than the HS coaches!- Jay Bolden

The Most Effective Drill You've Used to Build Drive Off the Rubber
All valid! Teaching shin and spine angle will help them not get to bent over. It's a sprinters lean, not bend. Several visuals and drills can help that. One thing I like to do with them is a trust fall forward where they keep the body straight and let it fall until the stride leg comes out to...- Jay Bolden

The Most Effective Drill You've Used to Build Drive Off the Rubber
Top 3 - 1. Split N Git 2. Skip In by @Doug Romrell 3. Jump Back, Split and Drive. I've gotten more into Springy type drills to help most drive mechanics- Jay Bolden

The Wrist
Tincher is very much into the long and "Fluid" release. IMO this causes way to much forward effort, and then the wrist now has to have some action on it. I am 100 percent in agreement with Balswick. Minimize forward effort, so the arm can do what it is supposed to do without too much or any...- Jay Bolden

No "load" for pitching? Anyone heard of this?
Far superior? Hmm. I don't see the fastest (speed) woman in the world in this stance. It works for some, does not work for all. Lots of kids in this stance, stand straight up, instead of going out. Again, watch NCAA softball. How many start in that stance, some, yes? Most no. Also pretty sure...- Jay Bolden

Help! Lack of Drop Ball Bite
All about Posture, Release and Spin. Height has absolutely nothing to do with break. Mike White actually stays back on his.... well all of his pitches look like this posture really. So if it aint bitting, it's an angle. Work on proper posture, relase and a good spin axis. Mike White Drop- Jay Bolden

Help! Lack of Drop Ball Bite
This is where Tincher loses me. Most of what is taught by them are angle pitches. (Hip angles, forced release usually on the drop. i.e look at their previous video of the curveball, with all students moving and pulling to where the curve is going. Very little break if at all) My guess is it's...- Jay Bolden

Anyone have thoughts on this Twitter thread?
Yes NC State will still suck this year because they have neither… a kid throwing 70+ or true spin pitchers… have fun going 15-21 again in the ACC - remember it’s all about that Homerun and throw the ball past kids mindset!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Jay Bolden
