Quote :

I know the injurious flaws in the
'traditional' baseball pitching motion that injures baseball pitchers
and how to eliminate all pitching injuries. I also know the mechanical
flaws in the 'traditional' baseball pitching motion that decrease
release velocity, release consistency and the variety and quality of
pitches pitchers can throw and how to correct these mechanical flaws.

In my fourteen years of major league baseball career, I used this
knowledge to set numerous major league records, including the four most
prestigious closer relief pitching records.


1. Most appearances - 106
2. Most closing innings pitched - 208
3. Most consecutive appearances - 13
4. Most games finished - 84

He has excellent academic credentials and is now training pitchers on how to pitch more effectively, WITHOUT THE INJURIES he, and most pitchers get!

There are lots of training videos on his site for those of you who want to learn how to pitch better.

I sure wish the Tigers would send some of our pitchers to him in the offseason!

To show you how good Marshall's revised methods of pitching are, and how narrow minded some in baseball are, when it comes to change, Watch this video of "Dr. Mike Marshall - James Jeffrey Sparks." Sparks did VERY WELL for Tampa Bay in 1999. The video show Sparks pitching for TB against various batters, including Maggs, Pudge, and many then Tigers!

Dr. Mike Marshall - James Jeffrey Sparks

Sparks is working with Marshall again, in 2007 and 2008. He needs to be brought into Tigers ST camp to see if he could help the team, on the cheap!

I remember when he pitched in over 100 games for the Dodgers one year....impressive.
And he was actually a short-time Tiger!!

I e-mailed Dave Dombrowski about Jeffrey Sparks and suggested he check him out as a non-roster invitee, for closer, for Spring Training this year. I received an e-mail back from him thanking me for the lead. He sent my e-mail to Al Avila ( Vice President, Assistant General Manager) and Scott Reid (Vice President, Player Personnel). So maybe we sill see Jeff Sparks in ST this year.

Cool!


And if Sparks makes the team

He has you to thank for it
