Billy Wagner Reveals Game-Changing Pitching Secrets for Young Pitchers and Baseball Parents

Описание: Jeff and the guys sit down with 2025 MLB Hall of Fame inductee Billy Wagner, one of the most dominant closers in baseball history, a right-handed kid who transformed himself into an elite left-handed pitcher and finished his career with 422 saves and 7x All-Star selections. Billy reveals his inspiring baseball development journey, overcoming a childhood full of adversity to become a two-sport athlete at Division III Ferrum College and ultimately an unlikely first-round MLB draft pick. He also takes listeners inside his unforgettable Hall of Fame induction weekend in Cooperstown, sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes stories and powerful moments with legends of the game.

Since retiring in 2010, Billy has become a highly respected high school baseball coach, mentoring the next generation of athletes, including his sons, Will, now playing in the Blue Jays organization, and Kason, committed to pitch at Coastal Carolina in 2026. With a front-row seat to youth and high school baseball development as both a coach and a dad, Billy shares essential advice for young pitchers, including how to build velocity safely, the truth about travel baseball, why fall baseball can be overused, and what really develops elite-level mound presence. Billy delivers game-changing guidance for baseball parents and coaches on avoiding burnout, navigating showcases and recruiting, and supporting long-term athlete development. His message is a must-listen for any young player who wants to grow, compete, and succeed on and off the field.
