Not widely known but Gamespeed provides a lot of training for baseball pitchers. Most go through our “Off Season Pitchers Conditioning Program” to improve velocity, endurance and durability. These guys put in a lot of hours and were starting to see it pay off.  Guys like James Marvel of Campo are already on the national radar but some others are starting to make some noise.  Anthony Olmo of Granada just got some local ink as he dominated in the title game of the Alhambra Classic.  (story below).

Congratulations to some early results and feedback from these Gamespeed hurlers!

John Pacha Alhambra FR. Playing JV and Varsity. John’s velocity has went from 67mph last year to 77mph as of last month. Most think he’s at 80mph  currently.

James Carter SR San Ramon Valley has reportedly touched 93mph  up from the mid 80’s last season.He’s sitting at the high 80’s now.

Anthony Olmo SR Granada fast ball has risen from 82mph to a high of 89mph and is throwing great.  He just threw an excellent game read about it here:

Granada Wins Alhambra Classic

Miles Mastrobuoni drove in three runs and Anthony Olmo spun a gem on the mound as the Granada High baseball team beat El Cerrito 4-0 to win the Alhambra Easter Classic championship in Martinez.

Olmo looked good from the start, mixing a sharp curve ball with an ability to spot his fastball. That spelled trouble for El Cerrito (10-4-1), which struggled to get base runners, let alone hits.

Though El Cerrito starter Shea Harrison was nearly Olmo’s equal, he couldn’t solve Mastrobuoni and that proved the difference offensively for Granada (8-6).

Mastrobuoni’s first clutch hit came in the second inning, when he sent a 1-2 pitch from Harrison back up the middle to plate Matt Richards and Dan Whitney.

That clutch hitting came into play again in the fourth, when Mastrobuoni punched a two-out single between the shortstop and third baseman, scoring Richards to make it 3-0.

From there, Olmo was in control. He struck out eight, and allowed just five base runners in throwing a complete game.

Charlie Caccamo collected El Cerrito’s lone hit, a single in the third inning. Harrison pitched 62/3 innings, allowing six hits and striking out three.
