I have a question. Ive watched many videos from Tread and they have helped me in my efforts at a very small Christian school in AL. Was thinking of the physics of pitching and it caught my when you guys were showing it in your 3D analytics software. Was wondering where to look for said software...
Steven Strasburg had a 88-90 4FB in HS. They fixed his mechanics and he became a flamethrower. I shudder to think what he'll throw in 3 years. The fastball just detonates about 3 feet from the plate. That's an MLB out pitch right now. A++. Get additional velo, and it's a game changer. The off speed is scary. Youre not hitting that in HS if he's dealing. The slider is disgusting. Finally, he's exceptional at taking coaching. I just watched the Harvard kid's video. Night and day on the way they handled coaching.
It’s all training now. The boys all lift early and learn the kinetic chain. My boy is a soph and tops at 86. I remember watching mid major D1 guys throwing that but there are lots of arm injuries by the time they’re seniors. We had 3 seniors with ucl injuries and out for the entire season. I wish boys would not train so much for velo but that seems the direction all the young guys are going.
I wish I had access to this info when I was in high school. I was 5’10” and hit high 80’s. All my friends that hit low 90’s got drafted. 😭 I think I could have at least put 5 mph on my fastball with today’s training. However the undisputed hardest throwing pitcher ever threw in the 70’s and 80’s!
Wishing this young man the best of health moving forward. I worry for all of these young guys…so many high expectations. As a former pitcher and pitching coach, the only thing I’d like to see is a little more flex at the hips to help him drive through more smoothly, but this kid is super polished for his age and being coachable makes him that much more valuable.
yea dude his offspeed stuff is nasty. The fastball is pretty straight and can be timed pretty easily, but since you gotta be worried about a few nasty offspeed pitches this guy is so tough.
Can yall make a video on the “kick change” im a big supinator guy myself and have struggled with a changeup. Could be super helpful seeing a bit of a breakdown
His uncle (I believe) is the bullpen coach for the Pirates. Bryce’s ability to pick things up seems to be second to none, so this makes sense. Man was this a fun watch
Exactly what I was fixing to comment that’s crazy especially to get that much rpm without a substance if I’m not wrong correct me if I’m wrong but sum mlb pitchers can’t get that much rpm
I had a .587 batting ave in HS, just wait for that fastball and don't be afraid to swing for the fastball and miss to anything else. Always swing at the first pitch.
Damn. Imagine being in high school trying to hit a 95mph fastball. This kid has potential for sure. Be fun to see how he does in the majors one of these days
There was a kid I know who played at a small school in southern Missouri in the mid 1990s who was all state baseball and basketball. Dude could throw mid 90s, jump out the gym, and was super quick. He would’ve been an all state quarterback but the town was so small they didn’t have football. He went on to play baseball at Missouri State with Ryan Howard. Really nice guy as well.
Idk. That first slider was nasty. I’d abandon the curveball all together and keep his original slider. Work on a cutter if he needs 3 pitches with different speeds.
Great fb. However, he will have shoulder and elbow issues do to him not following through.His fb would increase if he followed through like Ryan , Seaver and many others.

Some of this has to be just genetics right? I mean this kid is insane. I would have been defeated in the on deck circle lol

kid is so coachable.
he’ll go far
Yeah, it annoys me he's with the Brewers(drafted at 57th and signed) but with pro coaches, he's going to be deadly.
Glad you included the slow motion - it's great being able to see how the ball actually comes out of the hand.
Especially for sweepers. I feel like I can't find a slow mo release of a sweeper anywhere.
I'm fully rooting for this kid, he seems awesome.

This kid has it all. Maturity, control, open mind and all the physical tools.
We got HS seniors throwing nearly 100mph. I cant imagine how much harder this sport is gonna be in 10 years.
the players have gotten better and better by the years, especially with new technology it’s gonna be a whole new game

whoa. that changeup. whoa... he JUST started throwing that? That changes the entire profile of his pitches. fuck.

Almost 3000 rpm on a curveball is insane for a HS senior when the average for the mlb is 2500
I know a guy that gets up to 2900 on his sinker lmao, its nuts

Wish this fella good health.and a fun senior season.
His control is impressive
Could you show side views of some pitchers?
If you can. Please 🙏
Yep praying this kid stays healthy cause he is gonna be an absolute stud. Wow.
Imagine being a freshman called up to varsity and 1st ab u meet this MF.😂
Story of my life
Impressive
We face him this year… take it easy on me Bryce

@WhiteGuyMike that's really good advice right there.
Attack, don't be attacked.

Crazy talent and brain.
telling the kid to hit the 97 mph was gross. This is why pitchers have been blowing arms out like crazy
Straight up irresponsible to coach like that
Amen, dude 95 for strikes, let him develop to 97...arrogant
@@matthewgriffith9249 can't throw 97 for strikes if you aren't trying for 97 at all
@@asimm03790 save the arm work the spots
@@matthewgriffith9249 you’re clueless
I like the shape of his pitches
The command on that fastball will be painting Major League corners in no time. He'd be a hell of a closer. Don't want to lose that arm being a starter
Damn, this kid is accurate.
I see a lot of Craig Kimbrel in his delivery. His fastball just goes. If he wasn't a starter, fastball/slider is all he needs.

Welcome to the brewers
Damn fast
Oh my. I want to invest in this guy. Give him a diet and exercises so he grows another 2-4" LOL
kid could be good. lets go!
Praying for his elbow to hold up. Kid can rip a ball!
That kid is going to be a nightmare for his final year of high school.
Ik a sophomore who throws 90. Wouldn't be surprised if he just touches triple digits by senior year
Please include more of the slomo out of the hand going forward. Could watch videos of just that
im takin this kid yard twice
Idk. That first slider was nasty. I’d abandon the curveball all together and keep his original slider. Work on a cutter if he needs 3 pitches with different speeds.
That kid can bring the cheese.
85 slide was disgusting
If he'd be 18 I offer him a contract!
Dude throws BB's
This kid is unbelievable. He’s gonna be in the bigs.
Top H.S. prospect in the country?? You're taking a risky stance by saying he's headed to the show.....😂
Filthy stuff, great attitude - the future is bright. Hope he stays healthy and one day we can watch him in the Show.
It’s like an RPG…
Great fb. However, he will have shoulder and elbow issues do to him not following through.His fb would increase if he followed through like Ryan , Seaver and many others.
