Show Notes
For this week’s episode, we make a call to the bullpen and bring in Twitter sensation and MLB contributing analyst Rob Friedman, "The Pitching Ninja". We unpack Friedman's journey through coaching and his commitment to lifelong learning, questioning his thoughts on the game and bringing an open mind to the ballpark - and to Twitter - which helped lead him into his transformation into the most famous masked GIF warrior on the internet, the Pitching Ninja. Friedman breaks down the ins and outs of his path to social media stardom, connecting and even finding mechanical and pitch design solutions with MLB stars and his new venture, Flatground App. A first-year member of the ABCA, Friedman details his story of how he and Major League Baseball got on the same page about his account, which includes MLB footage and has his handiwork featured around the world.
