A Q&A with new Arizona pitching coach Kevin Vance, who’s a big believer in baseball’s Data Revolution but also values balance between the science and art of the discipline.
Michael Lev Had baseball’s Data Revolution begun a bit earlier, maybe Kevin Vance would’ve made the big leagues.
Although he excelled as a high school player and as a collegian , Vance had the coaching bug since his teen years. When he made the transition to coaching in 2017 with Rhode Island, the revolution was well underway. Vance vowed to use every piece of data at his disposal to get the best out of his pitchers.
Vance discussed his background, his coaching philosophy, balancing the science and art of pitching, and other topics. The conversation has been lightly edited.A: “The program, the history of it. The things that you can do at Arizona are obviously very intriguing. “I want to understand each pitcher on a physical level. I'll break it down with them and give them a full movement assessment. What you do well? What do you not do well? And teach them about it.
“If they have ideas, a Twitter post or an Instagram post that they want to send me, that type of thing, I'm all ears. I'm always learning and learning alongside the guys. That's the best way to get the most out of everyone — to build that trust and bounce ideas off each other.
