After college Sam took some time off from pitching until 2001 when he started pitching competitively again for an over 30 Team in Cape May. Since then he has pitched regularly for several South Jersey MSBL and NJIBL Teams. He has been selected to pitch in the League’s All Star Games on numerous occasions. Most recently, was last year, at 41 years old, when he played with many much younger players in an over 25 league, and was selected to pitch in the All Star Game at the Wilmington Blue Rocks Stadium.
Sam is a consummate student of the game, constantly studying and researching pitching to hone his own mechanics in an attempt to become an even more complete pitcher. He first learned about 3X Pitching online, while conducting research on an issue he is still trying to master himself – Hip/Shoulder Separation. Sam has learned a tremendous amount about pitching over his career and is still always learning. It is with 3X Pitching and a need for learning that has made Sam want to make the switch from doing, to teaching.
At the 3X Pitching Camp, Sam learned a tremendous amount about 3X Pitching and its effect on increasing Hip/Shoulder Separation and ultimately pitching velocity. Sam understands how important leg and core strength are to a pitcher and will certainly be asking his serious students to undertake a pitching specific strength and conditioning program like the Fusion System in the 3X Pitching Velocity Program as well. Aside from learning all the proper 3X mechanics at the 3X Velocity Camp, Sam is also a seasoned pitcher himself, and can therefore teach all aspects of the game including: types of pitches, setting up hitters, pick off moves and the often overlooked mental aspect of pitching.
