Mike Crawford, Elissa Sivel, George Ryder, Tyler Randerson, Robin Mackin, Todd Martin, Mark Smith, and Bruce Casselman have unique insights into what it takes to be a successful pitcher. This group has pitched and coached at the highest levels and will share tips and insight into how pitchers can develop and help coaches know what to look for when working with pitchers of all levels.
The panel will be interactive and the experts will chat and ask each other questions. Members of the audience are welcome to ask questions as well.
Coaches will earn PD Points to maintain their NCCP certification and pick up a lot of tips to help their pitchers.
