Jump Farther Throw Harder

The conventional response to the statement, Jump Farther Throw Harder, would be that just because you can jump high, doesn’t mean you can throw hard. The conventional pitching coach might say, if this is true then why couldn’t Michael Jordan throw 95 mph when he played baseball?

Alan Jaeger vs TopVelocity.net

I have been pretty tough on Alan Jaeger’s approach to pitching on this site. Just recently, another well know pitching coach Paul Reddick reached out to me,with the suggestion that I should have a man to man talk with Alan Jaeger in hopes that we could get on better terms. I decided to take Paul’s advice because Paul has been in this business for a while and he is a good person.
