Had a great conversation on the Freshman Foundation Podcast breaking the mental side of pitching!
Are pitchers chasing the wrong thing?
Too many pitchers chase velocity, mechanics, and the perfect “feel.”
But feelings disappear when the pressure hits.
The pitchers who succeed build a repeatable process they can trust on the mound.
At the end of the day, the job of a pitcher is simple:
Get outs.

🚨 CARBS vs KETO: The Muscle Growth Showdown 🚨
Hey lifters, here’s something that might shake up your meal prep plans… 👀
A study in Nutrients (Paoli et al., 2021) had natural bodybuilders go head-to-head on two diets for 8 weeks:
🥩 Keto (low-carb, high-fat) vs. 🍞 Western (higher-carb, same protein + calories)
Guess what happened?
👉 The keto group gained over 4x LESS muscle 😳
👉 Drops in testosterone, IGF‑1, insulin = 🚫 anabolic signaling
👉 But hey, inflammation went down & BDNF (brain gains 🧠) went up
Translation?
If you’re chasing maximum gains, cutting carbs might be holding you back—even if your protein is high and training is dialed in. Carbs do more than fuel your workout—they help signal your body to grow. 💥
✅ Keto = better for fat loss & inflammation
⚠️ But maybe not your best bet for hypertrophy
So unless you’re deep into cutting or have specific goals, don’t fear carbs—use them strategically to unlock growth. 💪🍠

Wrapping up an Amazing Chapter!
I’m so grateful to these two incredible Men for trusting me and giving me the opportunity to grow and contribute. Being part of the Champion family has shaped me in more ways than I can count, and I’m leaving with nothing but appreciation and great memories.
Excited for what’s ahead!

Shout out to .sumner for hitting all time PR today of 88mph as a junior in HIGH SCHOOL! Kid has been bought in since last offseason where he came in throwing 80-83. He’s not done yet, look out for this kid in Rhode Island this spring!
