The Pitching Command Show with guest Ricky Meinhold, AppState pitching coach. With everyone throwing hard nowadays, command is now the separator. It's no longer a choice between being either a power pitcher or a finesse pitcher today. You need to be both, velocity with command. Command is what separates pitchers from the pack today. Over a 13-year coaching career, Ricky has worked across nearly every level of baseball, from pitching coach and pitching evaluator for Team USA's 17U and 18U programs, to coaching in college as pitching coach for the University of Missouri, in Minor League Baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets, in Major League Baseball with the Mets as assistant Major League pitching coach, as well as internationally as Director of Pitching for the Lotte Giants of the Korean Baseball Organization. And he is the pitching coach for App State. A great discussion about training and measuring pitching control, command, sequencing and what it takes to pitch at higher levels of baseball. Brought to you by Command Trakker , the professional-grade smart target that MLB teams and top D1 programs rely upon for automated measurement and training of pitching control, command, and sequencing.

Chattahoochee River reopens 2. GBI announces promotion of Mableton resident 3. And Woods takes over at helm of Marietta Center for Advanced Academics All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Commercial : ESOG STORY 1: river The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area has reopened all sections of the river that were previously closed due to high levels of E. Coli contamination caused by a release at the Big Creek Water Reclamation Facility in Roswell. Bacteria levels are now below the EPA's recommended criteria. The park is assessing the impact on wildlife, vegetation, and aquatic resources, and water quality will continue to be monitored at specific locations. Visitors are advised to wear life vests, check flow rates, weather forecasts, and bacteria levels before entering the water. Current information is available on social media and the park's website..................……...

In her new role, she will assist the Trace Evidence Manager in overseeing the section's daily operations and supervising personnel. Jewett has been with the GBI since December 2009 and has specialized in areas like hair analysis, fracture match analysis, and Gunshot Primer Residue Analysis. She has also led a research project on GSR contamination and received recognition for her outstanding achievements. The GBI is a state agency with four divisions and over 900 employees, operating with a budget of nearly $148 million. Story 3: woods Heather Woods, with over 20 years of experience in education, including 10 in Marietta City Schools, has become the principal of Marietta Center for Advanced Academics (MCAA). MCAA is a unique Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) school with a dual focus on high achievement and hands-on learning. It caters to about 310 high-achieving students across third, fourth, and fifth grades who test into the school. The curriculum includes units in various STEAM areas. The school also emphasizes "House Challenges" where students work together to solve real-world problems and develop essential skills like collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking. Woods is enthusiastic about maintaining and enhancing partnerships with community organizations and businesses, fostering a unique learning experience for the students. we'll be right back Break: CU of GA - Dayco – Ingles 1 STORY 4: cognia The Marietta Board of Education has decided to delay paying an annual membership to accreditation firm Cognia while exploring other options for accreditation. One possibility is seeking accreditation through the Georgia Accrediting Commission, although it accredits individual schools rather than entire districts. The board is also exploring whether Cognia would accredit the district without an annual payment. Cognia faced controversy in 2021 for a review of Cobb County School District, which was eventually voided due to evidence ignored during the process. The board voted 6-1 to table the payment, with concerns about potential risks for students and the monopolistic position of Cognia in Georgia's accreditation landscape. Research and discussions are ongoing to find the best solution for maintaining accreditation. STORY 5: hall The Georgia Law Enforcement Organization is raising funds to support Hall County Sheriff's Deputy Patrick Neil Holtzclaw, whose wife and young children tragically died in a fiery crash in Habersham County. The crash involved a speeding Corvette colliding with the Ford Explorer driven by Holtzclaw's wife. All occupants of both vehicles were killed. The fundraising efforts will help Deputy Holtzclaw with funeral expenses. The Georgia Law Enforcement Organization is a 501c3 non-profit, ensuring that all donations will go directly to Deputy Holtzclaw without any deductions. The community has been urged to offer support and prayers during this difficult time. Story 6: park A new skate park at the Silver Comet Linear Park in Powder Springs, Cobb County, has officially opened. Designed by California Skateparks, the 20,000-square-foot park cost $1.8 million and can host Olympic qualifying competitions. Powder Springs Mayor Al Thurman expressed his excitement, calling it a "dream come true." Skaters and bikers were thrilled with the park's features, and it's expected to be a safe and popular gathering spot for skateboarders in the community. The skatepark is seen as a valuable asset to the city of Powder Springs and is expected to inspire future generations of skateboarders to enjoy the sport in a secure environment. We'll be back in a moment Break: Drake- Elon- UMC 30 Story 7: transit Cobb County is planning to build a new transit center in south Cobb to improve access to different bus routes of the CobbLinc transit system. The project aims to enhance transportation options for residents and ease traffic congestion. Two existing transit centers in Marietta and Cumberland are also being considered for renovation and relocation. The studies will help the county access federal funding for the project. The completion of the centers is expected to take five to seven years. The proposed transit center in south Cobb is likely to be located near Wellstar Cobb Hospital, with the exact site to be determined. Story 8: team usa Three Cobb County baseball players, Levi Clark, Bryce Clavon, and Michael Mullinax, have been selected for Team USA's 18U national team training camp roster. They earned their spots after competing in the Prospect Development Pipeline League. The training camp will take place in California, and the final 20-man roster will be announced on August 25. The team aims to defend its world title in September. The training camp roster features players from 19 states, with California having the most representatives. The 18U national team will be managed by Michael Cuddyer, a two-time All-Star. Story 9: smart At SEC Media Days, Georgia coach Kirby Smart said he is focused on the present and not getting caught up in making history by potentially winning three straight national titles. The Bulldogs have a shot at achieving a rare three-peat, with Minnesota being the only team to have done it before in 1934-1936. However, Smart believes in taking it one day at a time and not relying on historical feats for motivation. Georgia is coming off two impressive seasons and is considered the favorite to win it all again this year, but they remain focused on the new challenges ahead.

We are going to explore what it means to enroll in a junior college program instead of heading straight into a 4-year college, among other topics. This is a great option for many high school athletes for a variety of reasons and this podcast is a great listen on the topic.This past year, Coach "Bomber" began his 18th season as the pitching coach / recruiting coordinator at Sac City and he is pretty much an institution on the West Coast at this point . Since coming to Sac City, 49 pitchers have transferred to NCAA Division 1 universities, 17 have signed professional contracts, and 4 have reached the Major Leagues. He is responsible for all aspects of the pitching staff development and coordinates the program's recruiting process.He began his collegiate coaching career in 1996 at Eastern Kentucky University. At EKU, he was responsible for the development of the pitching staff and coordinated all their recruiting efforts. He has also spent the last three summers assisting USA Baseball with the selection of the 18U national team.He has a BA from Sonoma State in Business Administration and a Master's degree in physical education from Eastern Kentucky University (which makes a lot of sense to me, we'll get into that more a bit later).
