The Pitching Command Show with guest Sean McGrath, University of Iowa pitching coach.

With everyone throwing hard nowadays, command is now the separator.
It’s no longer a choice between being either a power pitcher or a finesse pitcher today. You need to be both, velocity with command. Command is what separates pitchers from the pack today.

Sean graduated from Lafayette College in 2012 and spent the summer competing in Independent ball before becoming the youngest division 1 pitching coach the next year at Iona College.

He then spent the next seven years in division 1 baseball before making the move to professional baseball; working three years in the Mariners organization.

After spending the 2022 season with the Double A team, he took the pitching coach opportunity at the University of Iowa and is now in his second season.

In your eight years of college baseball, you’ve developed 6 pitchers who have been drafted in the top 8 rounds, including MLB all-star George Kirby who is the definition of a command artist.
A great discussion about training and measuring pitching control, command, sequencing and what it takes to pitch at higher levels of baseball.
