Rediscover your instincts and tap into your roots with Jon Huizinga, the founder of Fuel Factory Pitching Development. A coach who finds his foundation in the breath, body and baseball. This week's episode is with a former professional baseball player who remains unretired. As he continues to pursue the professional ranks of pitching, he also maintains a strong foundation as a pitching coach to numerous Major League Baseball players.    Zing is a student of the game and you find his passion for baseball easily throughout the conversation. His love for nature and creative expression blends many unique ways in which he coaches. From pitching specific training to nature excursions, Zing certainly finds a way to teach a traditional game in an untraditional way. Enjoy!
