So, how exactly does remote coaching work? You will have unlimited access to text and email your coach. Hop on weekly FaceTime calls and receive regular mechanical and training updates each day. Your plan will detail exactly what to do from start to finish with instructional videos for every single throwing drill, mobility routine, and lifting exercise. Nobody’s going to do the work for you, but we can show you the path to get there. It’s your career. Let’s get to work. Gross. Gross. Rapita. Rapita.
You want me to rip knuckle or just leave it with the slice? Huh?
Like I’ve been throwing in. If this one wasn’t working,
I’ve gone to this one. Let me see that one.
It’s typically not as good. But I can throw in like that’s what you said last time.

What would you rather, the slider cutter or the one that’s like up there? Like that’s that’s too close to the fast ball, right?
To an extent. Yeah.
I mean, when I was at home, I was throwing them with a little less intent and I I was less sweaty as well. I I might just need to rise. Yeah.
Those those cutters were on the other side of the line.
Yeah. I mean, again, you were just a little under it. That’s all. Right. I mean, that still plays as a six slider,
but like
Yeah.
See how much under you are though? Yeah. Very.
Like that’s just poppy. Poppy. That’s not hard intent, right? With like My bad. But with your profile, I like staying on this line.
Yeah. So, like if we wanted to try to expand out, not today or not prep for the poor uh showcase, but this vertical line, right? That’s money. I mean, this could be your your uh O. Yeah. Or strike out at the end of the count like beginning.

“You’re gross. We get it.”
Watch as John Higgins throws his last high-intent pen before throwing in the annual Tread Transfer Portal Showcase. A new indoor PR for the former D3 arm sets up a great TPS showing.

Following the event, Higgins committed to Division 1 Seton Hall University.

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 PhD-led biomechanics team, world-class medical 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 towards 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
