Rooney Baseball @ The Players Athletic Club
“A baseball experience about baseball experiences” is a podcast built around real conversations from experienced people in the game. From coaching and player development to life in professional baseball, each episode shares stories, insight, and lessons from those who have lived the sport firsthand.
“When it comes to the art & science of pitching, Jimmy Rooney is arguably its most knowledgeable and effective teacher in recent Rockland County history. He played an incredibly valuable behind-the-scenes role for the legendary OTB Pirates dynasty that dominated NY State American Legion Baseball from 1990-96, and was a very real factor in developing the staff that led us to the 1993 World Series. Rooney served a long and successful career as the minor league roving pitching instructor and developer for the Milwaukee Brewers after his own promising career was cut short by an arm injury. He knows the game, communicates effectively with teens and has the quiet connections that might make a difference in your son’s life. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn and improve under his watchful eye.”
“It is always a pleasure to cross paths with Jim Rooney and pick his brain on the art of pitching. Very insightful. Highly educated. Jim has always been someone with an elite pitching mind. His knowledge of the mental and physical skills are invaluable if you are seriously pursuing baseball at the highest level. The game of Baseball is better for having people like Jim Rooney educate its past, present and future competitors. Whether you are an aspiring pitcher or coach, Jim's information and passion will make you better.”
“I've known Jim Rooney for better than a decade, as a coach, a scout, and as a man. This guy is always ahead of trends and bases his work on what is best for the pitcher. Whether you need to learn the "in the trenches" stuff from a longtime baseball man or to break down the newest data, Rooney can be old school and new school, making Triple Spin a great place to learn for any pitcher.”
“From our days together working for the Milwaukee Brewers, Jim Rooney is one of the most impressive pitching minds I've come across. His ability to see a pitcher and almost immediately see where the disconnect in the delivery is stemming from is remarkable. Furthermore, he has the knowledge from the Ivy League classroom and from being a player, coach, pitching coordinator and scout to know what needs to be done to begin the process of adjusting the delivery to allow the body to get the most out of the individual delivery. Jim can help pitchers of all ages and is a wealth of information. He's a teacher at heart which helps him deliver a relatable, useful and impactful message. I wish I was around more people like Jim when I played because I would have been a better player. I'm excited to see that his thoughts will be out there for everyone now because I've certainly learned a lot from Jim along the way - and I know that everyone who signs up will too.”
“Had the opportunity to work with Jim for years with the Brewers. His knowledge and understanding of the biomechanics of pitching is exceptional. He’s an excellent resource and we use many of his teachings with the New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series and Program15. His passion and ability to evaluate and develop pitching is of the highest level, and his commitment to elevate his own skill set is truly in rarified air. Can not recommend Jim highly enough for any pitcher and at level to consult in their journey to become the best they can be.”
“Jim’s a good man and knowledgeable about pitching at the highest level!”
