Driveline Mechanics analyzes Wisconsin prep pitcher Brad Schreiber

When jihad posted a video he'd taken of Brad Schreiber, one of the best high schoolers in the state, I emailed it to a few of the preeminent mechanics analysts on the web, including Kyle from Driveline Mechanics. Kyle ran with it, resulting in this awesome post, which is way above and beyond the simple blurb I expected him to respond with.

Thanks so much, Kyle (and to jihad for the vid, of course).

The Brewers have won the C.C. Sabathia sweepstakes-Ken Rosenthal

Here's what I posted over there:

I’ll alert Brad to your breakdown, and maybe he’ll contact you- I know he’ll read it. Yeah, he didn’t pitch much for Kimberly as a sophomore, mostly because he didn’t have to, the team won a state championship- so it’s not like he lacks experience, just he hasn’t had time polish the mechanics and it’s difficult to justify tinkering with mechanics in-season when no one in Wisconsin has been able to hit him.

    As a result, I have trouble believing that he is consistently throwing 86-87 mph.

Oh, you can believe! The radar gun readings have been in that range- obviously not every pitch is there and as far as I know he’s topped out at 89… his change is usually around 80-81 (which is obviously a little fast for his fastball range), so that’s another indicator of how hard he’s capable of throwing.

——————————————————————————————————————————

Thanks for sending that to him and Gomez (and whoever else you did), it’s interesting stuff to read and I’m sure that Driveline post will confirm what Brad already knows or give him some extra information.

And neck size to baby eating ratio.
