Holup leads Jackson Memorial to OCT Championship!
Boswick is PERFECT!!!
All pitchers start the game striving for perfection but only a very few have achieved that goal.
On Tuesday, Shawnee High School’s Kevin Boswick joined the group of the very few when he threw a five-inning perfect game as the Renegades blanked Triton 11-0 in an Olympic Conference baseball game.
Boswick didn’t allow the Triton batters much of a chance. He faced 15 of them and struck out 12, He never had a three-ball count, and he struck out the last six batters he faced.
West's DelMonte whiffs 18 in win
Brenden DelMonte had the Pennsauken batters mesmerized on Monday, when the Cherry Hill West senior lefthander set a school single-game record with 18 strikeouts - including 17 in a row - and his teammates picked him up with a two-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning to win the Olympic Conference baseball game, 2-1. DelMonte, who has an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, retired the third and fourth batters of the game on strikes and then struck out the side in the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings.
Casey Cannon having dominant season at LeMoyneThe Junior is 8-0 with 1 save, in 72 2/3IP he has given up a mere 35 hits while striking out 53 and posting a 1.11ERA, leading all NCAA DII pitchers!Discounted package plans available for the next two weeks, offered in groups of 10, call the Atlantic Club for more information!732-223-2100

Dan LaMorte fires no-hitter against RFH!!!
Junior Dan LaMorte fired a no-hitter to lead host St. John Vianney to a 1-0 win over Rumson-Fair Haven on Thursday in a Shore Conference Class A Central game.
LaMorte struck out nine, walked none and hit a batter. It was the second no-hitter thrown at the Shore this season. Manchester’s Tim Rogers had one on April 2 against Lacey.
LaMorte (2-0) worked through four baserunners, including two that reached base on errors and another on a catcher’s interference.
St. John Vianney (4-1, 4-0), ranked No. 8 in the Asbury Park Press Top 10, scored the only run LaMorte needed in the bottom of the fourth. Andrew Lewnes walked, went to second on a groundout and scored on Steve Callari’s double to the right-center field gap.

What makes Biopitch the best choice for professional pitching instruction?
IT’S SIMPLE: SCIENCE DOESN’T LIE!!!
Up until recently, the world of pitching relied heavily on opinion-based theories and conventional wisdoms. Unfortunately these so-called “wisdoms” have been leading us down the path to ineffectiveness, inconsistency, and the increased probability of injury. Included in these philosophies are:
· Use a glide step
· Stay back
· Stop at the top
· Pull your glove to your hip or armpit
· Replace your shoulders
· Come to a balance point before going to home plate
· Drag your foot on a changeup
· Snap or twist the curveball
· RHP should throw from the right side of the rubber and LHP the left side
However, thanks to the use of modern technology and endless hours of scientific research and clinical studies by the American Sports Medicine Institute in conjunction with the National Pitching Association and BioKinetics 3D Motion Capture, we can definitively prove that the theories previously mentioned are not based on science, nor do they add to a pitcher’s ability to throw a baseball efficiently. Conversely, these teaching methods will increase the risk of injury. Isn’t that what we all want to avoid? Shouldn’t injury prevention be paramount to wins and strikeouts?
The findings of the aforementioned people and organizations have provided us with a set of guidelines on how to train the human body to throw a baseball most effectively and efficiently without “cookie-cutting.” Baseball is no longer a spring/summer sport. Our children are playing on multiple teams for a duration of nearly 9 months out of the year. Proper year long training is mandatory in order to ensure that our children are being pro-active in the prevention of injury while competing at their highest levels.
WE WON'T ALLOW YOUR SON TO THROW INTO A NET OR TARP, CATCHERS ARE PROVIDED FOR EVERY LESSON AND THEY THROW OFF PROFESSIONALLY BUILT CLAY MOUNDS!!!
Are you struggling
with a loss of control or pitch velocity?
(Kyle Kennett, St. Rose HS/Rider University)
Do you have a nagging baseball injury
that could be caused by your pitching mechanics?
(Tyler Gebler TR South/Rutgers Univ.)
Have you felt that your pitching
should be better than what it is now?
(Anthony Montefusco, Shawnee HS/George Mason Univ.)
Kinesiology is the study of human motion and looks at the muscles and joint actions as it applies to sport skill and technique. It allows us to understand and describe movements, key actions necessary for efficient movement, what muscles do what in the performance of the sport skill, and basically everything that involves understanding how sport motion can be most effective. Biomechanics is a specialized field of Kinesiology that deals with the factors that are physics related: speed, acceleration, levers, and force.
By applying scientific laws, sport scientists have come up with accurate descriptions and angles that should occur within efficient pitching mechanics. It is only by comparing your pitching to these sets of standards that you can understand what needs to be changed to make your pitching more effective. Additionally, knowledge of the key role of each muscle during each part of the pitching motion allows us to understand what specific movements need to be made more powerful in order to improve the pitch velocity.
(Chris Napolitano, St. Rose HS/Marist)
Biopitch will perform a functional analysis of your pitching which is a systematic observation and assessment of the quality of your performance based on the above-mentioned principles. The purpose of this scientific approach is to create the most appropriate intervention to improve you and move you in the direction of optimal velocity, accuracy, and consistency. Scientific teaching methods complete the cycle from the diagnosis and intervention to the solutions.
(Bryan Solomon, Jackson Memorial/Eastern Kentucky)
The Functional Analysis requires the integrated use of information from the following areas:
- Biomechanics
- Exercise Physiology
- Structural Kinesiology
- Motor Control & Development
- Sport Psychology
- Sports Medicine
How Biopitch will work gathering the information? You can expect the most integrated approach to the analysis, game plan, and intervention for the solutions to your pitching issues. You can also expect the same level of tremendous results that have been reported by players at all levels of baseball. The solutions will provide immediate results as well as give you a roadmap for your continuous progress over the coming years.
(Casey Gaynor, TR East/Rutgers Unv./Cleveland Indians)
Biopitch’s pitcher training protocol is a one of a kind proven compilation that includes biomechanical drills for performance mastery, functional fitness/flexibility assessment and training, mental/emotional preparation, recovery cycle education, and college placement counseling.
