Episode 4: Jon Sintes & Cass Kreitlow

This week, I went down to San Diego to meet with Jon Sintes and Cass Kreitlow of Cutternation. Jon and Cass are teaching baseball a little differently. What started as a sit-down discussion quickly turned into mechanical demonstrations and live throwing. At Cutternation, they have developed some new rules that guide their throwing patterns. They are training athletes differently utilizing new tools like the Synapse. Through their collective experience, Jon as a player and Cass as a coach, both felt player development was lacking and they decided to take a unique approach. They are passionate about the game of baseball and had some interesting ideas about how to increase the popularity of baseball by utilizing the technology readily available to teams. After our chat, I had to get on the mound to try their "three rules" and of of course, to try and learn a cutter at Cutternation.
