Gamespeed’s Stephenson twirls six scoreless frames

Robert Stephenson: Baseball MLB Pitcher, Triple AAA

Gamespeed Training: Off Season Conditionng, Custom Training since 2009.

Still on the rise, Gamespeed’s Stephenson is getting control issues under “well control”. Says he’s feeling physically fit and excited about the direction he’s going.

Louisville right-hander overcomes hitters’ counts, walks just one

For a while there, it seemed like right-hander Robert Stephenson’s season was slipping away. Now he’s in Triple-A and seems to have a firmer — if not quite complete — grip on things.

The Reds’ top prospect shined in his second International League start Wednesday, tossing six scoreless innings for Louisville in a 3-2 win over Indianapolis.

The right-hander scattered four hits while striking out six and walking one. Over two starts with the Bats, he’s 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA.

Stephenson was promoted to Triple-A after making 14 starts for Double-A Pensacola this year. The first part of the season featured a few disastrous outings for the 22-year-old, including a two-start stretch in which he walked 11 batters over seven innings.

The 2011 first-round pick (27th overall) had a particularly tough time gripping his fastball early in the year, leading to control issues. He worked […]

Andre Ward victorious over Paul Smith

Andre got it doe agian. After a 19 month lay off he came back to the ring to demolish another opponent. With Smiths crew throwing in the towel in the ninth round. As with his previous four fights he did conditioning training with coach Aaron Thigpen of Gamespeed. Here are a few personal pics I took at ring side.

Welcome back, Andre “S.O.G” Ward (28-0, 15 KO). After a 19-month layoff, the WBA super middleweight champion returned to the ring with a dominant ninth-round TKO over Paul Smith (35-6) on Saturday night in Oakland, California. It wasn’t a title defense, but Ward looked like a champion against a clearly inferior opponent.

…Ward pounded on Smith with combinations from multiple angles. Smith’s face broke up under Ward’s shots, and his corner mercifully threw in the towel to save their fighter from unnecessary punishment.

….S.O.G had quite the cheering section. TheScore NBA has Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors carrying one of Ward’s belts in the ring:

…..Smith looked like a handpicked opponent, but he gave a valiant effort to make the fight with Ward semi-competitive. He landed a […]

Gregg P. wins MLB: Pitch Hit Run Competition.

Congratulations to Gamespeed’s Gregg P. Gregg won the Pitch Hit Run Competition held at Giants stadium. He was behind the leader until the final event, the base dash. In true Gamespeed fashion he blew the competition away and won the whole event!

It reminded me of another Gamespeed youth Callan Bard who won the NFL Punt Pass Kick Sectionals back in 2011.

November 27, 2011 by qckstep

Congratulations to Callan Bard (Napa) who won the NFL Pepsi, Punt, Pass & Kick Sectionals in Daly City last Saturday and will perform at the beginning of the 49er game next Sunday Dec 4th. This serious gridster is an athlete. He makes the drive on Sundays the day after pop-warner games for private sessions. When most kids are taking the day off playing video games he enjoys working on his receiving skills and speed. Good luck Cal.

Stephenson spins eight one-hit innings Reds right-hander strikes out seven batters in longest career outing

Robert Stephenson: Pitcher Cincinnati Reds Double A

Gamespeed Training: Pitchers Off Season Conditioning, & Custom Programming 2009-2015

Reds right-hander Robert Stephenson went through a rare rough patch at the start of the season because he was trying to be too fine with his pitches and too fast with his tempo.

He gave up five runs in Birmingham and four more — two earned — against Biloxi five days later. He was chased in the first inning in Jackson and then issued a career-high seven walks against Tennessee. Something had to change and it was as simple as taking an extra breath and checking finger placement on his delivery.

Any way you look at it, the numbers were troublesome for a highly touted first-round Draft pick and top Cincinnati prospect who has averaged more than 10 strikeouts per nine innings over his four-year Minor League career.

If the start of the year represented his worst, his past couple starts are a good showcase of his best.

Stephenson allowed an unearned run on one hit and a walk while striking out seven batters over a career-high eight innings in the Double-A Pensacola Blue […]

Andre Ward back at Gamespeed before re-entering ring June 20th at Oracle Arena

Andre gets ready at Gamespeed with the push sled. Andre supplements his boxing training with speed and power work with Aaron Thigpen at Gamespeed.

Andre Ward, the super middleweight champion from Oakland who is returning to the ring after a year and a half layoff, will fight England’s Paul Smith on June 20, promoter Roc Nation Sports has announced.

The fight at Oracle Arena will be televised by BET and will start at 7 p.m., according to ESPN.

Ward is 27-0 with 14 knockouts, but the 31-year-old boxer has not been in the ring since beating Edwin Rodriguez in a November 2013 title defense in Ontario. Ward’s absence from the ring was partly due to a shoulder injury, but it was mostly because of a lengthy battle over his promotional contract with late promoter Dan Goossen, who died in September.

Smith, 35, has a 35-5 record with 20 knockouts. He is a former British champion who has lost his last two fights to Germany’s Arthur Abraham, both on Abraham’s home turf. According to ESPN, the first fight was close, the second was one-sided.

Ward […]
