The Pitching Academy

Gunner is average to small in size and when people see him pitch, they cannot believe the speed that can come from such a small kid. I attribute this to the excellent pitching instruction he recieves from Dan. He not only teaches great mechanics, but he does it in a way that Gunner understands and enjoys. Dan is the best by far...

Dan is a wonderful teacher and is very talented at presenting the proper pitching mechanics in a way that even the youngest of kids can understand and implement. Dan takes his time and is very giving of the knowledge and natural ability he has perfected...

Dan's approach and emphasis on correct pitching mechanics based on his own experience and research makes him my choice to instruct my son...

I would like to thank Dan for clicking with my son and helping him in throwing and pitching. He has been commended on his pitching mechanics during games. He is also always excited to go and practice with Dan, and to hear what he has to say. I feel that Dan has helped my son in his pursuit of making himself a better ball player.

After the first lesson, I could see a visible improvement in Mitch’s velocity while still maintaining his control. Dan has done an exceptional job with all the pitchers on the team. He has the ability quickly analyze and determine what specific area of mechanics each pitcher can focus on to improve. He has the ability to do this in a positive manner with each pitcher...

"What magic potion have you given your son?” was a question coaches and parents asked last year after my 10-year-old went from one of the lowest-ranking pitchers to one of the best in about six weeks. The “magic” was a few pitching lessons with Dan...

Dan, Slade and I still talk about you and refer to the things you taught him 1 1/2 years ago!! Slade has been very successful pitching for his little league teams in California. He strikes out over 70% of the batters he faces and has a very low era (even though most of the hitters he faces are a year older)...

Having Dan work with my sons on their pitching has been the best thing I could have done for them. Dan's knowledge of pitching is vast and his teaching methods are effective

The results were instantaneous and my son was hitting the target more consistently and his velocity increased about 4 mph...

Dan's ability to spot improper mechanics and teach balance and correct pitching mechanics in a reasonably simplified manner is outstanding. I would highly recommend Dan Gazaway to anyone serious about improving overall pitching ability...
