Garrett Baker, Skill Acquisition Specialist and pitching coach with the New York Mets, returns to the Adaptable Athlete Podcast to dive deep into the realities of skill development in baseball.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why breaking free from “perfect mechanics” often unlocks better performance
• Why pitching velocity isn't everything
• How reframing pitchers as “out-getters” changes the way we think about training
• The pitcher-batter relationship and its central role in pitching success
• The impact of conviction and intention on the mound
• Why variability and “serious play” are critical to long-term development
