This video provides a comprehensive guide on how college coaches evaluate high school pitchers for recruitment, focusing on statistical analysis, mechanical aspects, mentality, and work ethic.
1. Statistical Evaluation:
– Focus on key statistics like walks, strikeouts, innings pitched, strikeouts per inning, and ERA.
– Emphasize consistency in performance regardless of competition level.
2. Command Assessment
– Evaluate strikeout-to-walk ratio to gauge command.
– Aim for one walk every two innings for average command, three walks per nine innings for good command, and one to two walks per nine innings for elite command.
3. Mechanical Analysis:
– Check for smooth arm action, fluid motion, and effortless delivery.
– Assess fastball movement for vertical or horizontal break based on pitching style.
– Evaluate the quality and command of the breaking ball as a secondary pitch.
4. Mentality and Work Ethic:
– Assess the pitcher’s makeup, competitiveness, and composure under pressure.
– Look for a consistent warm-up routine, preparation, and dedication to the craft.
5. Body Type and Projection:
– Consider the pitcher’s body type, projection, and potential for development.
– Understand that left-handed pitchers may not need to throw as hard as right-handed pitchers for recruitment.
6. Velocity Assessment:
– Understand that the average D1 pitching velocity is around 89 mph, not 95 mph.
– Focus on being a pitcher with control, strategy, and consistency rather than just a thrower with raw velocity.
Notes:
– Emphasize the importance of command, consistency, and secondary pitches over raw velocity.
– Consider the impact of competition level and external factors on statistical analysis.
– Prioritize mental toughness, work ethic, and dedication to the craft in the evaluation process.
