The idea for Baseball Media began on a Chicago Cubs minor league team bus somewhere between Boise and Vancouver.
In 2001, while pitching in the Cubs organization, I launched a simple newsletter with one goal: to bring pro-level instruction to 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, my resources — like PitchingTips.com and YouthPitching.com — reach more than 50,000 players, coaches, and parents each month. What started over 20 years ago as one pitcher sharing what he learned is now a suite of tools built to help you train smarter, play better, and reach 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.
TryoutCamps.com — A subscription-based platform featuring the most complete list of verified MLB and independent baseball tryouts.
