This week on the Prospect Podcast, Geoff Pontes and JJ Cooper take a look at some pitching myths that have been busted, and what teams know nowadays.

(00:00) Geoff is working on a pitching project

(06:00) Velocity can be taught and developed

(16:00) JJ goes on a rant about how pitchers are throwing harder. It's not just the radar guns.

(27:30) With changeups movement matters as much as velocity separation

(34:00) Don't focus on individual pitch quality, focus on the quality of the entire arsenal.

(41:00) Extension is a thing, but it's only some times a thing.

(46:00) Learning to throw harder doesn't mean you will be wilder
