Dan Blewett
I am a pitcher and graduate of UMBC in with a B.A. in both Philosophy and Psychology. In the offseason I am a certified strength coach and pitching instructor specializing in baseball and sports performance.
My chief interests are baseball, training, nutrition, writing and philosophy. Though out of college, I am attempting to continue playing as long as I can.
This blog is intended to be a resource for others, in hopes that those who read this might gain something from the knowledge I have amassed in my struggle to become a decent ballplayer and athlete.
I entered college as a very average 168 pound, 10% bodyfat kid. Today I am proud to be 193 pounds at a steady 7%. Studying training and nutrition and learning from the best has allowed me to make a personal transformation, and the ability to get those same results for others.
If you have questions or comments, or if you’re interested in pitching lessons or strength & conditioning, please send me an email at dan[at]danblewett[dot]com

Ben is a rising high school senior with a passion for pitching and serious dedication to training and to himself. The first-hand experience he brings as a young but extremely knowledgeable athlete should serve as a reminder that you’re never too young to take you career into your own hands.

I recently moved down into the MD area (downtown Baltimore specifically). Do you know of any good leagues for a 24-y/o? Since it is the middle of the summer, do you know of any good fall leagues in the summer? Hoping to get back into it, have had a few things detour my pitching lately.
The Baltimore Baseball League is based in the Baltimore metro area. That is the most established semi-pro league in that area. There is also the Baltimore Latin League, which is primarily spanish speakers but isn’t limited to them. I pitched a few games in the BLL before I left for pro ball. Either league you can find via google, but I don’t have any direct contacts. I believe the BBL also has a fall league.
