In this episode, we sit down with Rob Friedman, creator of Pitching Ninja, to unpack what it really takes to develop an elite pitcher in today’s game. From the rise of velocity and its risks to the pitfalls of early specialization, Rob shares hard-earned insights from coaching his own son to Georgia Tech and building one of baseball’s most trusted platforms. We cover how to choose the right pitching coach, when to introduce velocity tracking and breaking balls, and the habits that separate good pitchers from great ones, while also offering practical guidance for parents navigating the pressures of youth sports.
