Welcome back, friends!   Excited to share this chat I had with Ben Brewster, a pitching coach and co-founder of Tread Athletics, a holistic coaching facility for baseball athletes in North Carolina.  Ben shared a thread on X titled, “The Problem with Interval Throwing Programs,” which caught my attention and acted as the springboard for this conversation.  We also chat about his training philosophy and have a candid conversation about what PTs can be doing differently to better support these athletes.
