## Resource

The Royals’ bullpen just got a game-changer: a physical strike zone made of pipes and bungee cords that’s helping pitchers like Noah Cameron nail their spots with laser precision. Inspired by assistant coach Mike McFerran, this visual training tool gives real-time feedback—like an automated strike zone—so pitchers can see exactly where their pitches land. Even road trips got a boost with a portable version built at Home Depot. The philosophy? Making practice harder builds better in-game performance. Pitchers like Randy Dobnak say it’s a game-altering upgrade for accuracy and confidence. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
