Are You the Hunter or the Hunted Pitcher Development with Colter Bostick

Listen on

Episode notes

How does your pitcher compare with these development benchmarks?

Sammy and Colter Bostick discuss:

• Colter's benchmark chart for development of velocity, long toss, and other key performance indicators across age groups for pitchers.
• There is a group of coaches who are against using radar guns and other tech for young athletes but your chart starts with 9U, would you use tech with younger athletes?
• How you make the measurements more understandable for the younger athletes.
• There are a lot of kids who are stuck at home and may not have access to tech like Rapsodo what are some things they can do with whatever they have from around their house.

Colter Bostick (@maximized_BSB on Twitter) grew up in the middle of the Rocky Mountains in Cody, Wyoming, a place that only played baseball three months out of the year. After being forced to travel around the country to seek out the best competition, he accepted a full-ride college scholarship that brought him down to Texas. His experiences taught him the importance of having elite-level training available for athletes. He has been able to work with players from every level, and influence great amounts of development for each pitcher he has encountered.

Colter's goal for every pitcher is for them to succeed at the next levels, and to become "complete" athletes.
