Happy Memorial Day Weekend.

Normally on this weekend my college team (Sacred Heart University) is playing in our conference tournament and I'm so locked into that, I don't have time to think about anything else.

But while this was a rare bad year for our program, it did free me up to be able to be at my son's prom pictures and see his high school team win their conference championship.

And while this email isn't meant to be about me, I have not written in quite a while and this mailing list has grown by several thousand since my last communication.

So first off, who is Wayne Mazzoni, and what is D1 Pitching Academy...

• I've been a college coach since 1992, and just finished year 16 at Sacred Heart University​
• I'm a regular presenter at many national coaching conventions.
• I've been a columnist for New England Baseball Journal and author of several sports books, including three on recruiting.
• I've led recruiting seminars at over 1,000 high schools and am a regular on many sports radio stations on this topic.
• And through my D1 Pitching Academy I've worked with pitchers from little league to the big leagues on their physical, skill, and mental development.

Enough about me.

Most of my readers are either high school age baseball players or their parents and coaches trying to both develop their talent to the best of their ability, along with navigate the insane process of recruiting, summer teams, showcases, and on and on.

If this is you, or your son, player on your team, or someone you care about helping, consider me a resource.

Feel free to write back with any questions regarding your particular situation.

If you have time this holiday weekend, take a look at a one page sheet I wrote up recently that has gotten great feedback.

​10 Things I Need To See In My Pitching Recruits.​

If that one pager seems like it would help you, you might want to consider doing a live zoom, College Development Evaluation session with me.

On this call, I learn about your past pitching, your current development plan, future pitching goals, and then do a pitching analysis on your video.

I've done hundreds of these meetings and pitchers and their parents/coaches find it helpful to get insight from someone with my recruiting and coaching experience.

Thanks for your time, have a wonderful weekend, and reach out if you feel you need it.
