The Pitching Command Show with guest Travis Hergert , Phillies minor league pitching coordinator.

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.

Travis is currently in his third year as the minor league pitching coordinator for the Phillies, after serving as the assistant minor league pitching coordinator beginning in Dec 2019. Before that, he had spent 7 1/2 years as the head baseball coach at North Iowa Area CC in Mason City, Iowa. A team that appeared in 3 JUCO World Series and had 10 players drafted over a 5 year span. He had served as pitching coach for 8 years prior to become the head coach.

A great discussion about training and measuring pitching control, command, sequencing and what it takes to pitch at higher levels of baseball.
