What’s New In October
October is here, and fall training is in full swing at The Circle Fastpitch. This time of year is a great opportunity to slow things down, evaluate where we are, and put intentional work into the areas that will make the biggest difference when spring season arrives.
​
We’ll continue focusing on the entire pitching motion—not just individual positions. Mechanics, strength, mobility, ground-force production, sequencing, and the mental side of pitching all work together. The goal is always to build pitchers who understand what they’re doing, why they’re doing it, and how to make adjustments on their own.
Strength and conditioning will continue to be incorporated into lessons. Developing stronger, more explosive athletes gives us a better foundation to build our pitching mechanics. As always, the focus is appropriate progression for each athlete rather than rushing to the next level.
We’re also continuing to use tools like PitchLogic to help us evaluate movement, spin, arm path, and other patterns that may not always be obvious to the eye. Data doesn’t replace coaching—it gives us another piece of information to help ask better questions and make more intentional training decisions.
Fall is where a lot of growth happens quietly. There may not always be games, tournaments, or immediate results to show for it, but the work being done now matters. Consistency wins, and the athletes who continue showing up with intention are building something they’ll be able to use when it counts.
Our Upcoming Clinics

Live Pitch Hit gives pitchers the chance to face live batters in game-like situations while receiving real-time feedback and adjustments from Coach Carollin. Each pitcher throws multiple innings against hitters, learning how to work the strike zone, manage counts, and compete with confidence. Hitters gain extra live at-bats, and catchers find value receiving reps from behind the plate while also hitting.
This clinic is perfect for athletes just starting their pitching journey! In this clinic, players will learn grips, mechanics, and drills that build a strong foundation. We focus on body awareness, spin, and confidence—so pitchers leave with the tools and “homework” to keep improving at home. Small group setting, positive coaching, and the perfect place to begin inside the circle.
