This weekends tournament was one of the best tournaments we have played. We runned ruled every team we faced going 4-0 and scoring 50 runs. In this picture is are starting 4 pitchers, we all completed are games that we had started in. My personal stat line was 5ip,2 runs allowed, striking out 3, and only walking two. I was a bit upset because those walks ruined my shut out, so for up in coming starts I just have to be smarter on the pitches I throw and when I throw them. We have one more tournament this up in coming weekend before we take a break until spring ball starts. I think this week I am just going to give everything a rest and just do light stretching because I want my last start to be my best start. Also this weekend I touched 77 so that is a new personal best and I was very pleased about that. Hopefully this weekend I can go up one noch ending the season reaching 78 witch will be a huge win going into off season.

It is tournament week so therefore i have to get back into the routine of things to get ready.This weeks focus is heavy lifting arms and legs and working on mechanics and throwing bullpens. For the lifting aspect i will be doing Front squats, back squats, dead lifts, heavy dumbbell lunges, and heavy step-ups. For arms i will be doing Bench,dumbbell bench,curls,hammerheads,triceps pull downs,push-ups, and weighted jump ropes. As far as the mechanic side goes just working and making sure my glove gets tucked in to my left side causing my throwing side to wip around quick. For this weekend i am just looking to have a high strike percentage,less walks, and a couple more Ks.Hopefully hitting a new velo pr,thats my goal every tournament to get one + what i got last weekend.
This Past Weekend i had a decent showing while sitting 74-76 the whole weekend. I gave up 3 runs 5 hits 3 walks and 5 strike outs. This is a win in my opinion because i normally sit any were from 73-74-75 but for me to be sitting 74-76 constantly is improvement. For this week i I am going to be working on mechanical stuff but also letting my arm rest just because of how much it has been used. A lot of people think arm care isn't important but it effects so much like tightness,soreness,and flexibility.This week is all gonna be about heavy lifting and throwing in preparation for this weekends tourney. I feel like i am making progress on velo but the results arent quite there, two weekends ago i was still sitting 77 and i was really hoping i would have hit a pr. But i cant rush it and have to realize its going to take time, yes i was down about it but it only motivated me more. But as far as this week goes i will be hitting heavy legs and light arms just because i am stil going to be throwing and i dont want to be tight and sore. |
