Hitting - Exit Velocity:
Zach, your ability to stay tall and drive through the baseball is a promising foundation for developing consistent exit velocity. Maintaining an upright posture during your swing ensures that you can generate optimal power and keep the bat in the zone longer, increasing your chances of making solid contact. As you continue to refine your mechanics, focus on maintaining this tall posture from the start of your swing through to the finish, which will help you maximize the energy transfer from your body to the ball.
To further enhance your exit velocity, incorporating a well-rounded strength training program can be incredibly beneficial. The weight room truly can become your best friend in this journey, as increasing your overall strength—particularly in your core, legs, and upper body—will provide you with the additional power needed to drive the ball with authority. Consider working with a strength coach to develop a program tailored to your needs, emphasizing explosive movements that mimic the kinematics of your swing.
As you work on these areas, it's important to remain patient and persistent. Gaining strength and refining your swing mechanics take time, but with dedication, you'll see improvements in your performance at the plate. Continue to focus on staying tall and driving through the ball, and invest time in the weight room to build the strength necessary for higher exit velocities. You're on a great path, and with continued effort, you'll be able to take your hitting to the next level. Keep pushing forward, Zach!

Pitching – Changeup:
Zach, your changeup is currently one of your standout pitches, characterized by its good spin and precise location. This combination makes it an effective weapon in disrupting hitters’ timing and keeping them off balance. Maintaining this level of control and movement is crucial as you continue to develop, so prioritize your focus on consistently replicating this pitch’s mechanics in your training sessions. Your ability to command the zone with your changeup at this level is a promising indicator of your potential as a pitcher.
At 70 MPH, your changeup velocity sits at an ideal range for creating a differential from your fastball, which is essential for the pitch's effectiveness. To enhance this even further, consider working on refining your arm speed to ensure it mirrors that of your fastball delivery. This subtle adjustment can make your changeup even more deceptive, as it will be harder for hitters to recognize the pitch out of your hand. Drills that focus on maintaining consistent arm speed across all your pitches will be beneficial.
As you continue to hone your changeup, remember that experimenting with grip variations can also help you find the most comfortable and effective version of this pitch. Each pitcher has a unique feel, and finding the grip that provides the best combination of spin and control will serve you well. Keep up the excellent work with your changeup, and continue incorporating it strategically into your pitching repertoire. This pitch will undoubtedly be a key asset as you progress in your baseball career.

**Pitching - Curveball Evaluation:**
Zach, your performance at the HBCU/NAIA Fall Evaluation Camp was impressive, particularly with your curveball. The movement you generate on your curveball is a standout feature of your pitching arsenal. This movement not only makes it challenging for hitters to make solid contact but also enhances your ability to keep them off balance. A curveball with such good movement can be a game-changer, and mastering it will significantly improve your effectiveness on the mound.
To further enhance the impact of your curveball, focus on maintaining a consistent release point and arm speed. This will help you disguise the pitch more effectively, making it harder for batters to distinguish it from your fastball. Additionally, continue working on your grip and wrist action to ensure the movement remains sharp and late, which is crucial for deceiving hitters. Incorporating video analysis into your practice routine can help you identify any inconsistencies and make necessary adjustments.
Overall, your curveball is a tremendous asset that you should continue to develop. Pairing it with a well-located fastball will make you a formidable pitcher. Keep up the hard work, and don't hesitate to ask your coaches for specific drills that can help refine your technique. With dedication and focus, you have the potential to become an even more dominant presence on the mound. Keep pushing forward, Zach!
