What happens when cutting-edge analytics meet old-school competitiveness?Penn State pitching coach Will Jauss has the answer — and it’s changing how college baseball develops pitchers. In this exclusive interview, Jauss takes us deep inside the Nittany Lions’ pitching laboratory, where numbers meet nuance, and technology fuels transformation.From bullpen sessions wired with TrackMan, Rapsodo, and high-speed video, to in-game decision-making based on release consistency, spin efficiency, and pitch tunneling, Jauss reveals how Penn State blends science, structure, and feel into a unified system for success. But beyond the metrics, he emphasizes what can’t be quantified — the mindset, discipline, and daily habits that make great pitchers great.Discover how Penn State’s staff teaches its arms to command the moment, not just the strike zone; why command beats velocity every time; and how Jauss is preparing his pitchers to thrive against Big Ten lineups — and beyond.This isn’t just a look at baseball’s next frontier — it’s a masterclass in how data, development, and determination come together to create pitchers built for the modern game.
