Ryan Flippo and John Lantigua sit down with Tread Performance Specialist and VP of Pitching for the Chicago Cubs, Tyler Zombro, for a deep dive into how pitching development really works at the highest level. They break down the difference between training and competing, how college and pro ramp-ups should actually be structured, and why most players peak at the wrong time. The conversation also covers workload management, deload timing, body changes, and how MLB organizations evaluate arms in today’s tighter roster landscape. If you want an honest look at what separates pitchers who move up from those who get left behind, this episode delivers.
