🥎 **Pitching Clinic Spots Are Filling!**

I’m so excited for the upcoming **Sara Jane Pitching Clinic** and we’re already down to just a few openings!

**Beginner Session:** only **4 spots left**
**Advanced Session:** only **5 spots left**

These clinics are designed to give pitchers focused, small-group instruction while working on mechanics, body control, consistency, confidence, and understanding what’s happening in their own pitching motion.

If your pitcher has been wanting to get started or is ready to take the next step in her development, now is the time to grab a spot!

💜 Message **Sara Jane Pitching** for registration information or just do so here: https://forms.gle/Kpd5mUfSDsDxwaPV9

Baseball has always been instilled in Brady Bouchard since he was born. Baseball is a family game for the Bouchard’s, which pushed Brady to pursue the game growing up. When he reached the high school level, Bouchard realized focused in on the game.

Bouchard was both a position player and pitcher, playing shortstop growing up. As he progressed as a pitcher, Bouchard transitioned strictly to pitching as he reached the college level.

In his time at Binghamton University, the Bearcats won back-to-back America East Conference Tournaments, allowing Bouchard to pitch in two Regional Tournaments, facing Georgia in 2025 and Wake Forest this past spring.

“Both of those environments were insane,” Bouchard said. “The most recent regional was the elimination game against Wake (Wake Forest). That game, even with Wake not being the home team, there was still just a ton of people, you can't really beat it, especially the adrenaline you get, just standing on the mound is different.”

After appearing in the NCAA Regional this spring, Bouchard returned to Mystic for his second season with the Schooners.

“I was looking forward to it, especially when I heard [Pitching Coach] Bud was coming back. I really enjoyed Bud last year, and I learned a lot going into the fall,” Bouchard said.

For Bouchard, coming to Mystic has helped with his mentality while on the mound, which has allowed him to find great success as a starter with the Schooners. This summer, Bouchard has pitched to a 2.19 ERA across 24.2 innings pitched, posting a sub-one WHIP.

“Mentality, that's actually been something I've been working on, figuring out what I need to really think about mindset wise when I go out and start,” Bouchard said. “It's kind of been just go with Bud and everything, just go hitter by hitter just attack inning by inning. “Don't try to do too much at once.”
