The idea for Baseball Media started on a minor league bus somewhere between Boise and Vancouver.
In 2001, while pitching in the Chicago Cubs organization, I launched a simple email newsletter to share pro-level instruction with players everywhere. What I learned on the way up — and what I wished I'd known earlier — became the foundation for everything that followed.
That newsletter became a book. Then a website. Then TUFFCUFF — a complete training system trusted by thousands of pitchers around the world.
Today, Baseball Media's websites, pitching programs, and email newsletters reach over 50,000 players, coaches, and parents each month. What began as one pitcher sharing what he learned has become a trusted resource for training smarter, playing better, and reaching the next level.
PitchingTips.com & YouthPitching.com — Mechanics, mindset, and complete training plans for youth and high school pitchers, built around the trusted TUFFCUFF system.
PitchingWorkouts.com — The home of the TUFFCUFF Pro and Junior training programs for serious youth and high school pitchers.
TryoutCamps.com — A subscription-based platform featuring the most complete list of verified MLB and independent baseball tryouts.
