Feeling stuck in your career? Go here: ------------------------------- Shane McClanahan looks like he's back. 🔥 ∙10 starts ∙2.52 ERA ∙164 ERA+ ∙2.79 FIP McClanahan is one of the most electric pitchers in the game when healthy. He also has one of the most unique deliveries in the big leagues, highlighted by his leap off the rubber. 🦵 Pitching is fundamentally a rotational movement. The forward move creates linear momentum, but you have to convert that into rotation for it to efficiently make its way into the ball at release. Most guys who leap land in full extension and lose the ability to rotate. McClanahan is an exception. After the leap, he relaxes the back knee back into flexion, clears the back foot, and lands with enough hip and knee flexion to still rotate. It takes a lot of athleticism to pull off. While early in his return, he's about 1 mph down on average velo, 2 mph off his max, and 2" short of his average extension. He's yielding great results thus far, and will be an exciting arm to watch as he settles back in post-op! We broke down his leap off the rubber back in 2023.

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 ------------------------------- Twitter: Instagram: ------------------------------- Free downloads: How does remote coaching work: See our athlete results here:
