Emmet Sheehan wasn't much of a pro prospect until revamping his pitching style. In his major league debut, he threw six no-hit innings for the Dodgers.
“Everything I’ve been trying to do since I got drafted, all the work that the Dodgers have given me, and all the work I’ve put in on my own,” Sheehan said, “it’s just paying off.”
Dodgers pitcher Emmet Sheehan, left, and catcher Will Smith bump fists after Sheehan completed six no-hit innings against the San Francisco Giants on June 16. To keep his mind sharp, Sheehan read self-help and motivational books, most notably one from marathon runner and former Navy Seal David Goggins .
First, Sheehan studied videos from renowned pitching training centers like Tread Athletics, picking up techniques on how to throw harder and dial in his command.and Gerrit Cole, looking for facets of their game he could emulate himself.
