Tom House never consider himself to be on the same level as the great baseball pitchers like Randy Johnson, who have "unconscious competence" (the ability to automatically perform their skills without thought). Instead, he had to figure out ways to elevate his game using superior pitching mechanics. Join him as he breaks down how he took legendary pitchers like Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson to the next level.

  • If Nolan Ryan did all that with old school technology, imagine if he was signed today he'd be unstoppable. This talks so friendly and humble like you'd want to sit down and have a beer with him just to hear him talk about baseball.

Im the short, fast, athletic guy that usually just gets on with base hit, I just hit a deep fly out.
