"I went from being a timid pitcher, thinking about whether baseball was for me or not... to now. I just feel like a completely different picture. I feel ready to dominate." 

Alejandro Maltos-Garcia is a dedicated baseball pitcher who, at one point, found himself at a crossroads, questioning his future in the sport. Despite his passion, he faced significant mental and physical hurdles that were holding him back from reaching his full potential on the mound. 

The Challenge 

Before connecting with Soul Throwers, Alejandro was grappling with a complex set of issues. Mentally, he was caught in a cycle of worrying about external perceptions and things that ultimately didn't matter, leading to a significant lack of confidence. This mental strain directly impacted his physical performance, with his pitching velocity dipping to a concerning 86-87 MPH. He described himself as a "traditional lift heavy guy but was slow," indicating a disconnect between his training efforts and actual athletic improvement. This combination of mental and physical stagnation left him feeling timid and unsure if baseball was truly for him. 

"I went from kind of worrying about the things that don't matter... I mean, Seth, Tommy, really kind of what to focus on and kind of what's the distractions out there and kind of how to show up and be the best person you can be." 

The Solution 

Alejandro found his answer in Soul Throwers, specifically through working with Seth. What immediately stood out was Seth's holistic approach. Instead of generic programs, Seth delved deep into understanding Alejandro's mental state and personal challenges before even touching on baseball mechanics. This focus on internal well-being helped Alejandro shift his mindset, teaching him to filter out the noise and concentrate on what truly mattered for his development. Seth also revolutionized Alejandro's training, revealing that many of his previous methods were counterproductive. He introduced a process-oriented approach, emphasizing that real improvement takes time and consistent effort. 

"The first thing I'd say that I noticed when I started working with Soul Thrower, specifically Seth, was the holistic approach that he took to figuring out what was wrong with me and what I needed to get better." 

The Results 

The transformation Alejandro experienced with Soul Throwers was nothing short of remarkable. Mentally, he evolved from a timid, self-doubting pitcher to one who feels "ready to dominate" every time he steps on the mound. His confidence is now "insane," a stark "night and day" difference from before. Physically, the results were equally impressive. His pitching velocity, which had been down to 86-87 MPH, soared to a consistent 90-92 MPH, a significant increase of 4-5 MPH. Beyond just velocity, his overall athleticism and coordination dramatically improved, and he developed better command of his pitches. This newfound confidence and physical prowess have allowed him to enjoy the game more, focusing on dominating rather than worrying about his velocity. 

"I'm a completely different pitcher. I'm throwing harder, have better command, and I'm just dominating a lot more than I was before I was working with them."
