Repeatable Mechanics Before Radar Numbers
Pitching lessons at BBT Rocklin work on a delivery a player can repeat under game pressure — arm path, lower half, balance, and the ability to throw a strike when it matters. Velocity follows mechanics; chasing it first is how young arms get hurt.
- Mechanics work on arm path, lower half, and a repeatable delivery
- Indoor throwing space at 4283 Duluth Ave for year-round bullpens
- Velocity development built on top of mechanics, not instead of them
- Convenient for families in Rocklin, Roseville, Granite Bay, and Loomis

Pitching in Rocklin: Common Questions
Where do Rocklin pitching lessons take place?
At 4283 Duluth Ave, Rocklin, CA 95765, on indoor turf with netted throwing space. Bullpens do not depend on field availability or weather.
Who coaches pitching at the Rocklin facility?
Gabe Emmett, a former Los Angeles Dodgers draft pick who focuses on pitching and velocity development, coaches at Rocklin. Jon Peters, the BBT owner, also works on pitching across both facilities. Call 916-465-5551 to confirm current availability.
My player throws hard but cannot find the zone. Can lessons help?
That is usually a repeatability problem, not an arm-strength problem. When a delivery changes slightly every pitch, the release point moves with it. Lessons work on making the mechanics consistent so strikes stop being accidental.
Is it too early for a young player to work on velocity?
For most 8-14U players, mechanics and durability come first, and velocity follows. BBT builds the delivery before pushing output. Call 916-465-5551 and the staff will give an honest read on where a specific athlete should start.
Does BBT offer pitching lessons closer to Folsom?
Yes. The El Dorado Hills facility at 4990 Hillsdale Cir, Suite 400 runs pitching lessons and is the closer option for Folsom, Cameron Park, and Shingle Springs families.
