-------------------------------

Swisher Cook (2029 VA) was topping 81 mph at a showcase in September.⁠

He began training with Tread in November and wrote that his goal was to throw 88+ and join the Canes National team.⁠

It's been 6 months since he signed up, and he's already snagged his first 87. 🔥⁠

The physical tools were never really an issue. He's a two-way and a multi-sport athlete (basketball). He can box squat 315 lbs x 5 at 185 pounds. ⁠

His throw was just mistimed:⁠
❌ Early rotation⁠
❌ Early extension. ⁠
❌ Early glove side⁠

Swisher's fix wasn't a drill. It was teaching his body to delay intent by keeping his chest down longer and letting the sequencing work.⁠

He came in-house for a bullpen in February, where he initially sat 78-79 mph. ⁠

His fastball spin efficiency was 20-30%, and after cueing him to drive his pointer finger through the ball, he left hitting 83-84 mph.⁠

At the end of his spring season, we reassessed the same red flags from his initial evaluation: ⁠
✅ Single leg balance⁠
✅ Hip rotation⁠
✅ Posture. ⁠

There was still room for improvement.⁠

The prescription wasn't more mobility work. It was to keep him athletic and build body awareness and proprioception through athletic catch play and constraint plyos (as shown in slide 5), as well as a weight room approach built around sprinting, jumping, and lifting heavy, rather than bodybuilder-style training.⁠

He topped 87 in early June, and there's still more in there. 88 should fall soon!

What is Tread? A message from Tread's Co-Founder, Ben Brewster

If you're new to this channel, my name is Ben Brewster, and since 2015 my partner Coan and I have run Tread Athletics, a remote pitching development company that has impacted thousands of high school, college and professional pitchers' careers.

Here's my story: at 15, I was just a driven but naive kid with a dream of playing at the highest level. This took me down a wild path, that included:

-Getting cut from travel teams and throwing low 70s as a 6'3" 155lb freshman.
-Being unrecruited out of high school (seriously, not a single offer to pitch in college).
-Landing a walk-on spot at the University of Maryland & earning a degree in Exercise Science.
-Getting drafted by the Chicago White Sox and throwing 98+ mph from the left side.
-Pushing through 5 surgeries in my late 20's, despite people telling me to throw in the towel.

Seeing that very few pitchers, like myself, had access to the types of instructors and information locally that would truly make a difference in their careers, Tread's remote coaching was born.

Today: Tread oversees the development of over 1,500 amateur and 500+ pro pitchers around globe (check out our interactive athlete map it's pretty cool), and has become home to over 50 of the top Pitching coaches in the world.

Our staff operates out of a 33,000 square foot training facility in Charlotte, NC that includes one of the top private pitching labs, a biomechanics team, world-class sports medicine staff & more, as we work to lead the charge on building better, healthier pitchers.

While my own playing career has been defined by more setbacks than successes, these personal struggles give me a crystal clear perspective that Tread isn't just about building superior pitchers – it's about fighting toward a shared dream; whether that means making your high school team, landing a college scholarship, signing a pro contract or debuting in the big leagues.

For these players, I'm all in -- let's continue to pursue the dream together.

-Ben
