I recently ran across a Facebook quiz “Who’s your baby’s daddy?”  Sadly, my mind read, “Who’s your baby data?”  Sounds crazy, I know.  But I want you to think about it.  The quiz was designed to trace back your signs and symptoms of pregnancy.  The testing (data) in place would let you know that you’re […]

The reason most pitchers struggle to improve leg drive is simple… They focus on the legs instead of the hips. And with all the information out there and pitching mechanics breakdowns available, I can see why you’re confused as hell. Most pitchers are sadly taught to: Load the hips Stay tall Push off the ground […]

Crazy as it sounds… Journals are one of the fastest and most effective ways I’ve learned to “Teach Pitchers How To Teach Themselves.” I’ve been journaling for almost 11 years now and my library now includes 381 journals. Honestly, it’s to the point now that I FEEL anxiety when my journals aren’t at arm’s length. […]

The more in-depth I get with testing my clients using Motion Capture, the more convinced I am that most traditional pitching drills… Are a waste of time. Most of the drills we’ve tested using 4D Motion Sports capture showed an actual regression when attempting to transfer results to the mound. I know it goes against […]

It’s amazing how advanced player development has evolved over the past 5 years, or so. With the advancements in tech, and the emergence of experts and guru’s on every corner, it’s easy to see why. Because I’m no idiot, I decided a couple of years ago to adapt these lessons into my daily teachings as a […]

There’s a reason Pitch-a-Palooza has been called… The #1 coaching clinic in America, and… A 3-Day MasterClass in player development. Just take a look at this year’s line-up: Confirmed: Lantz Wheeler Kyle Boddy – Driveline Baseball Eric Cressey – Cressey Sports Performance David Ray – Bledsoe Brothers Hunter Bledsoe – Bledsoe Brothers James Ogden – […]

Ever heard the old saying… “You become what you believe?” If you say, “I suck.” You’re exactly right. You do suck. If you say, “I can’t do this” You’re exactly right. You just told yourself you can’t, so you can’t. Truth is… The kinetic chain starts with the brain!     Great news is… The […]

The greatest baseball speech you’ve probably never heard… Comes from one of the greatest men I’ve ever had the honor of meeting. His name? Tony Robichaux. Last week, Coach Tony Robichaux, the Head Coach of Lousiana-Lafayette passed after suffering a heart attack.  However, the legacy he left us will be carried on for eternity. Very […]

Lucas Giolito says… “It happened naturally without me having to think about it.”  If you’ve ever tried to change your mechanics but had no luck and instead found yourself not only losing velocity and command, but also confidence… You probably need to read this post. A couple of months ago I wrote an article about […]

A coaching buddy walks up to me and says… “Lantz, Why don’t you have more pro coaches speak?” There’s a reason no pro coach has spoken outside of Derek Johnson’s curveball demonstration.
