What D1 coaches look for in a pitcher.

Do you want to pitch at the D1 level? This is what college coaches are looking for a high school pitcher. Number one is command. It's not all about velocity. It's about how you locate your pitches. How consistent are you in the zone. You want to shoot for 65% and above with your strike percentage. Number two, velocity. It does matter, right? And if you pair it with good movement, you're going to make hitters very uncomfortable at the D1 level. What we're looking for from from high school pitchers, by the time they're a senior in high schools, at least 86, 87 miles an hour sitting there. All right, for right handed pitchers, left handed pitchers, 84, 85 sitting there topping out four to five miles an hour above that. Number three is your secondary pitches. Great fastball is good, but how is your breaking ball? How is your command with that? Coaches want reliable secondary pitches. Do you have that? Number four is your arm action and repeatable mechanics. Coaches want good arm action, meaning it is loose and whippy. That shows projectability. And also repeatable mechanics shows that you're going to be consistent in the strike zone. And number five, mental toughness and body language. Are you a guy that stays calm under high pressure situations? And how do you bounce back after a tough inning? How is your body language? Are you a leader out there or do you. Do you really show your emotions in a negative way? Can guys get behind you? Do you think you have what it takes? Comment your go to pitch and share it with a friend who needs to see this.
