DOMINATE THE BUMP
WHAT WE TEACH OUR PITCHERS ⚾️
At Blue Collar, developing pitchers is about a lot more than velocity. We want to develop confident, competitive pitchers who throw strikes, repeat their delivery, and know how to handle the responsibility of having the ball in their hands.
CONFIDENCE
It’s difficult to succeed at anything without confidence, and pitching is no different. We want our pitchers to trust themselves and their preparation. Confidence allows them to attack hitters, throw strikes, compete—and enjoy having the ball when the game is on the line.
THROWING STRIKES
It starts here. Our first priority is teaching pitchers to control the strike zone and give their team a chance to win. Velocity and secondary pitches will develop with time, physical maturity, proper mechanics, and consistent training. At the youth level, learning to command the fastball is the foundation.
REPEATABILITY
Consistent mechanics lead to consistent results. We work to develop a delivery that is both safe and repeatable, giving pitchers the best opportunity to throw the ball where they want while building a healthy foundation for the future.
BODY LANGUAGE + BEING A GREAT TEAMMATE
You make a great pitch. You get the ground ball. Your teammate makes an error.
Now you have a choice.
Show frustration—or pick your teammate up, get the ball back, and attack the next hitter.
