ABOUT ME
HEY! MY NAME IS ROMAN KIMBALL AND I'M A FORMER DIVISION 1 BASEBALL PLAYER, BASEBALL INSTRUCTOR AND CONTENT CREATOR. I HAVE PLAYED AT NOTRE DAME, SOUTH CAROLINA AND CENTRAL FLORIDA. I HAVE 5 YEARS OF UNIQUE EXPERIENCES AT THE HIGHEST COLLEGE LEVEL THAT HAVE INSPIRED ME TO WANT TO HELP DEVELOP YOUTH, HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE PLAYERS INTO THE BEST POSSIBLE PITCHERS THEY CAN BE! ON THIS WEBSITE YOU CAN FIND INFORMATION ABOUT MY PLAYING HISTORY/EXPERIENCE AND MY BASEBALL CONTENT, ALONG WITH A FORM TO SIGN UP FOR REMOTE LESSONS, AND LONG TERM REMOTE TRAINING.
MISSION
MY MISSION IS TO HELP DEVELOP PITCHERS INTO THE BEST PITCHER THEY CAN BE THROUGH COMMUNICATION, ANALYSIS, SCIENCE AND COLLABORATION. I HAVE 7 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE STUDYING MECHANICS, DATA AND ANALYTICS WHILE ALSO STILL USING IMPACTFUL BASIC FUNDAMENTALS THAT SOMETIMES GET LOST IN THIS AGE OF TECHNOLOGY. I HAVE HAD REAL EXPERIENCE WITH ALL OF THESE AS A PLAYER AT 3 DIFFERENT DIVISION 1 POWER 4 CONFERENCE SCHOOLS. I LOOK FORWARD TO HELPING YOUR DEVELOPMENT AS A PITCHER!
PLAYING HISTORY
I WAS VERY FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PLAY 5 YEARS OF DIVISION 1 BASEBALL AT NOTRE DAME (ACC), SOUTH CAROLINA (SEC), AND CENTRAL FLORIDA (BIG12). I PLAYED UNDER 5 DIFFERENT PITCHING COACHES IN 5 YEARS AND HAVE ALSO WORKED WITH 3 DIFFERENT DATA AND ANALYTIC COORDINATORS. I ALSO HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH MAVEN BASEBALL LAB AT SOUTH CAROLINA WHO HAS WORKED WITH COUNTLESS BIG LEAGUERS INCLUDING SPENCER STRIDER, MAX FRIED, HUNTER GREENE, DYLAN CEASE AND BEN JOYCE. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MECHANICS, DATA AND ANALYTICS, HOW TO ADD VELOCITY, HOW TO USE YOUR ARSENAL EFFECTIVELY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOW TO ACHIEVE ALL OF THOSE THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. I HAVE PITCHED 126 COLLEGIATE INNINGS, STRIKING OUT 156 BATTERS. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO ATTEND THE MLB DRAFT COMBINE TWICE AND WAS A TOP 150 DRAFT PROSPECT MY SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL.
HOW I STARTED CREATING CONTENT
AFTER I MADE THE DECISION TO SPEND MY SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL AWAY FROM HOME AT A BASEBALL ACADEMY IN SOUTH CAROLINA AT P27, I HAD THE IDEA OF DOCUMENTING MY EVERYDAY LIFE THROUGH A CAMERA LENS TO HELP GROW THE GAME OF BASEBALL. THIS HAS ALLOWED ME TO GROW MY BRAND AND TEACH PLAYERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OF WHAT IT IS LIKE TO PLAY BASEBALL AT THE DIVISION 1 LEVEL. ALONG WITH WHAT IT'S LIKE BATTLING LONG-TERM INJURIES IN COLLEGE.
