The Pitching Command Show with guest Scott Lovekamp, the NY Yankees National Crosschecker.
With everyone throwing hard nowadays, command is now the separator. It’s no longer a choice between being either a power pitcher or a finesse pitcher today. You need to be both, velocity with command. Command is what separates pitchers from the pack today.
Scott has 31 years in professional baseball. 10 as a pitching coach with Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and 21 as a scout (San Diego, Pittsburgh and the last 17 with the Yankees), as an area scout until 2012 and then as pitching analyst until today as National Crosschecker, acting as a liaison between scouting and the pitching department overseeing analysis from the scouting dept and the flow of information to the Director of Pitching.
Requiring direct communication and personal involvement in development projects with a focus of integrating the philosophies of the player development side into the scouting department. Prior to his professional baseball career, he was a pitching coach in college for 8 years. MacMurray College 2 yrs., Missouri State 2 years and U of Florida 4 years from 1988-92.
Drafted in 1980 out of Concordia College (IL) and pitched 3 years in the minor leagues. In the fall of 1980 in Instructional League, had the luck meet and work with Bobby Valentine and Tom House who were starting out their coaching careers. This relationship continued when they took over the Texas Rangers in 1985.
A great discussion about training and measuring pitching control, command, sequencing and what it takes to pitch at higher levels of baseball.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
