Joel Zumaya: At Major League Instructors, Joel translates his elite playing experience into instruction that helps developing pitchers maximize velocity, refine mechanics, and learn how to compete with confidence. He emphasizes not only the technical skills of pitching, but also the mindset required to succeed under pressure at the highest level.

Hall of Fame catcher Iván Rodríguez once said Zumaya threw the “fastest pitch I ever caught.”

Zumaya’s rookie season in 2006 helped propel the Tigers’ resurgence all the way to the World Series. That year, he held opposing hitters to a .187 average and earned a reputation as a fearless competitor in critical situations.

Zumaya amassed a lifetime 3.05 ERA with 210 strikeouts in 209 innings. He has been involved in player development since his playing career ended.

Aspiring players who train with Joel gain insider knowledge of what it takes to reach the professional ranks—and how to do so with both power and poise.

​

Price for pitching video review and 30-minute Zoom consultation is $69.99.
