124 - Pitcher Quirks & Trusting Your Stuff w/ Trey Dombroski

What this episode covers

Trey Dombroski is a lefty starter in the Houston Astros organization, currently pitching Double-A ball with the Corpus Christi Hooks. Fourth round draft pick out of Monmouth University. Nearly 380 innings of pro experience and still climbing. But this conversation goes way deeper than stats. Trey breaks down what the Astros' velocity program actually did for his confidence on the mound, how the pitch clock forced him to condense his entire pre-pitch routine into five to seven seconds, and why flow state is the difference between executing and overthinking. We get into study guide days versus test days, the pitcher-catcher relationship, and why the locker room runs on banter as much as baseball. He also makes a strong case for multi-sport athletes, calls out burnout culture in youth baseball, and explains why the best ability is still availability. Oh, and yes, we talk quirks. Superstitions, game day meals, and the routines pitchers swear by and the ones they're trying to let go of. If you coach athletes who have to perform under pressure, manage routines, and show up for their teammates, this one is for you.
