The Pitching Command Show with guest Scott Lovekamp, the NY Yankees National Crosschecker.
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.

Requiring direct communication and personal involvement in development projects with a focus of integrating the philosophies of the player development side into the scouting department.Prior to his professional baseball career, he was a pitching coach in college for 8 years. MacMurray College 2 yrs., Missouri State 2 years and U of Florida 4 years from 1988-92.
Drafted in 1980 out of Concordia College (IL) and pitched 3 years in the minor leagues. In the fall of 1980 in Instructional League, had the luck meet and work with Bobby Valentine and Tom House who were starting out their coaching careers.
