This week on Keep Klimbing, Brett continues building out the pitching arsenal — moving from last week’s cut fastball to one of the most effective weapons in baseball: the sinker.

Brett breaks down what makes the sinker unique, how to understand the movement profile you’re trying to achieve, and why this pitch is built on leverage, intent, and movement quality. From identifying your natural strengths to shaping the right grip, Brett shows how pitchers can create downward action, weak contact, and consistency on the mound.

He also discusses:
• How a sinker plays off your existing arsenal
• Spin direction & the movement profile that creates true arm-side run + drop
• Finding the right grip variations for your hand and release
• The mindset needed to execute the pitch on game day

As always, Brett uses his own experience to help pitchers understand how to keep building, keep refining, and Keep Klimbing.
