At #BaseballActionID, we get these types of messages constantly.
A coach.
A player.
A parent.
Someone reaching out with the same story… again.

This time, it came from a coach who followed our course a few years ago.
He was sold from day one — not because of theory, but because of what he saw on the field.

“I was sold right away. What I saw in my players when I gave them the freedom to move naturally was unbelievable. They got better almost instantly.”

This week, that same coach reached out again — only now with a gut-punch of a story.

One of his former pitchers had just called him.
A guy who had once thrived under his guidance, because he was allowed to move according to his MotorBall profile.
Now? He had just been released from his MLB organisation.

Here’s what makes this so painful:

Just last season — same pitcher, same Minor League level — he was dominating.
He averaged 95–97 mph, regularly touched 98.
He had life on all his pitches.
He was in command of the strike zone.
His strikeout rate? 32%.

However, after switching to a new organisation earlier this year, everything fell apart.

New pitching coach.
New mechanical expectations.
No awareness — or interest — in how this pitcher was designed to move.

And then came the fallout:

– Velocity dropped to 91–93 mph
– Movement disappeared
– Command broke down
– Strikeouts fell to 13%

Same pitcher. Same level. Different system.

This is what happens when we ignore a player’s natural motor preferences.
When biomechanics becomes a one-size-fits-all religion, instead of a supportive tool.
When coaches chase symmetry instead of authenticity.

At #BaseballActionID, and through our #MotorBall system, we don’t guess how an athlete should move — we profile them, and then help coaches build around it.

Because when a pitcher moves within his natural blueprint, everything improves:

– Timing
– Command
– Feel
– Health
– Confidence
– Performance

That coach saw it.
That pitcher lived it.
Until it was taken away.

Let them move.
Let them be who they already are.
And watch what happens.
