Recently got back from our sunny Florida trip last weekend and had an amazing time (even though we didn't play as well as we would have liked to). The week started off pretty good weather-wise; sunny and 85 the first two days but it slowly got colder and cloudier down to around 50 midday the last day. I can't be upset though, we were complaining about having to put on an Under Armor while the northeast was complaining about one of the biggest snowstorms ever hitting them mid March.
Back to freezing old Herk for us now. Sweatshirts and snow coats replace our bathing suits and sunscreen. This also means back to work, for school and for baseball. I recently created a new Twitter account to follow where I'll be posting some quick thoughts of mine and retweeting other accounts that you guys might find interesting.
Check it out if you'd like and make sure to keep warm.

Casey Weathers Velocity Work
Hello again to all my baseball fans,
I hope spring break started out good for everyone! I'm down in Florida with the team until Thursday playing in this 80+ degree heat having a real good time.
I finally got my first start yesterday which I've been looking forward to for a long time. After working with Driveline all winter and sticking with it through the spring I've been working hard at getting my velocity up. For my first outing I was decently pleased to hear that I was sitting upper 80's and hitting 90 mph a couple times throughout the game. It's promising to know that because last year's first game I was barely hitting 86, maxing out at 90 in the summer.
As objectively impressive as that might sound, I am completely outshined by many of Driveline's athletes, and definitely one in particular: Casey Weathers. This is a video of one of his "run 'n gun" sessions, which means you basically try and throw these weighted balls as hard as you possibly can. Please take the 2 minutes to watch this video it's literally amazing.
(Keep in mind a normal baseball is 5oz.)

Hey guys, how’s was everyone’s weekend? I just bought a new pair of cleats for the season so I can't complain about mine.
I just created a Facebook page to go with this blog. Feel free to check it out, the link is posted below.
Hope you all have a nice week. Luckily, later this week I’ll be in sunny Florida with my team for a 10 game tournament.😎
Until next time,
Jon
