The Pitching Academy

After the first lesson, I could see a visible improvement in Mitch’s velocity while still maintaining his control. Dan has done an exceptional job with all the pitchers on the team. He has the ability quickly analyze and determine what specific area of mechanics each pitcher can focus on to improve. He has the ability to do this in a positive manner with each pitcher...

I first met Dan watching kids pitch at a local ball park. My son Mitch, who was 13 at the time was pitching, Dan seemed very interested in how my son pitched. Dan indicated he had pitched at multiple levels and had received a pitching certification from the world renowned “Tom House School of Pitching”. Being familiar with a couple of books Tom House had written, I started to ask him some questions in how Mitch could improve. Dan indicated Mitch had good mechanics but at times opened up a little at front foot landing. I took one of Dan’s Pitching Academy Business cards, with the thought that I would contact him just before the next season, as I was very impressed in his knowledge and his personal demeanor with parents and kids. This year, the team Mitch is playing for brought in a highly recommended pitching instructor to work with all the pitchers. To my surprise the instructor was Dan. I was very pleased to have Dan work with my son on his pitching mechanics and on the pitchers attitude.
