Baseball Pitcher Evaluations

7/24/2008

All the time and effort I have spent analyzing the pitching mechanics of major league pitchers has paid off. I have started working with a major league team evaluating the pitchers they are considering drafting. As part of this process, I have developed a unique methodology that allows me to evaluate a pitcher's mechanics from the standpoint of...

     - Performance
     - Effectiveness
     - Injury Risk

As part of this process, I compare each pitcher's motion and mechanics to two groups of professional baseball players whose mechanics I have analyzed...

Pitchers with long, injury-free careers.
    - Roger Clemens
    - Greg Maddux
    - Nolan Ryan

Pitchers with short, injury-plagued careers.
    - Mark Prior
    - BJ Ryan
    - Kerry Wood

If you would like me to evaluate the pitching mechanics of yourself, your son, or one of your players, then e-mail me or call me at 314.494.1324.
     The way this works is that I will ask you to e-mail (or snail mail) me one or more clips of the pitcher. I will then analyze the clip looking for problems, their root causes, and what to do about them.
     The amount I charge for this service depends on how much detail you want me to go into and how much time you want me to spend on the evaluation. I charge $20 for a basic thumbs up or thumbs down evaluation of a clip, $100 for an evaluation with a detailed write-up, and $200 for a frame by frame analysis.
     If you are interested in learning a little more about me and how I do my pitcher evaluations, I have posted to my web site a document that explains who I am as well as an example of a detailed write-up .
