Phoenix Holiday Pitching Clinic
The Center for Athletic
Performance and Physical Therapy is proud to host a pitching clinic featuring the St. Louis Cardinals pitching instructor Brent Strom.
If your goal is to be the very best…to pitch at the next level…then getting in front of our staff is probably one of the most important things you could ever do for your career!
Brent Strom- St. Louis Cardinals As a former Major League pitcher and Major League Pitching Coach with the Kansas City Royals and Houston Astros, Brent has literally seen it all. Brent is considered by many as the quintessential bridge between the concepts, philosophies and teachings of Marshall, House, Mills, Thurston, Dixon and Nyman. He is the ultimate master teacher! He has studied them all and uses pieces of all of them. Brent is not a theorist. He is the consumate teacher motivated primarily not by ‘who’ is right but more interested in ‘what has been proven to work’. Brent has constantly wrestled with the established dogma and rigidity of professional baseball which is typically very reactionary to new things and has come out on the other end as a trusted pioneer and innovator. He is one of the most approachable men in professional baseball and is one of the primary reasons his pitching camps have become by far and away the most practical and useful camps for pitchers in the world today. Coach Strom is one of the world’s leading experts on developing the curveball and command of the fastball.
