Meet Dylan Bundy, the Great Hope of Baltimore and the most fascinating pitching prospect since The Freak, Tim Lincecum.

Bundy is 6-0, 195 pounds, can squat 500 pounds and throw a 100 mph fastball. He’s a health and nutrition freak that eats homemade granola bars, drinks broccoli-and-barley smoothies (“Last time he touched a soda pop or hamburger was five years ago,” says his father, Denver), swims, boxes, and long-tosses for 30 to 45 minutes at 300 and sometimes even 400 feet, even before starts. He’s 19 years old, the best minor league prospect in baseball, and he’s about to change how we think about the development of the most valuable currency in the game: the young power arm.

About a year ago, as last year’s draft loomed, Dylan Bundy, his father and five officials from the Kansas City Royals were sitting around the Bundy kitchen table at their home, which is on 15 acres “out in the country with the cows,” Denver says, in northeast Oklahoma. The Royals, who were picking fifth (the Orioles would draft Bundy a slot earlier), were serious about taking the righthanded phenom who went 11-0 with a 0.20 ERA and 158 strikeouts over 78 innings in his senior year at Owasso High. But they also had deep concerns about Bundy’s unconventional pitching program.

“They did not like Dylan throwing long toss,” says Denver. “They were discussing the way he throws, how he shouldn’t throw on a long arc. Dylan and I were sitting there, just listening. And then, at some point, Dylan just took over. He took over the whole conversation, talking about specific muscle groups, why he does what he does. Before the session was over, he was teaching them about how the shoulder really works. They were in awe.”

Long-toss — a hot-button issue in the major leagues — is at the heart of Bundy’s pitching program. Bundy, as well as Diamondbacks uber-prospect Trevor Bauer, have become the poster-boys for the training method that many think is destroying young arms. Bundy and Bauer disagree. Last year as the draft both players advised certain teams to pass on them because of fears that the organizations would alter their throwing programs. About half the teams in baseball restrict their players to tossing at 120 feet; Bundy and Bauer like to air it out at 200, 300, and, on occasion, 400 feet.

Bauer went third, to the Diamondbacks, and Bundy went one pick later to the Orioles. Now they are the two most dynamic pitchers in the minors. Bundy is putting up mind-boggling numbers: he started the year with a 13-inning hitless streak, and over his first 17 innings has struck out 25, walked two and has yet to allow a run. Opposing hitters are 1-for-50 against him. Bauer is 6-1 with 1.96 ERA and 51 strikeouts in 41 1/3 innings for Class AA Mobile.

Like Bauer, Bundy has an insatiable mind and a tireless work ethic. This spring he was almost always the first player to walk through the doors at the Orioles training facility in Sarasota, Fla., at 6:30 in the morning, and would run for an hour before most of the other players showed up. Orioles strength coach Brady Anderson shadowed Bundy for a few days in Sarasota and signed off on his routine. Bundy has an 80-pound punching bag, which he brought with him from home, set up against his bed in his hotel room. “He’s in the room, with the music cranked up, on his knees, still doing his workouts,” says Denver.

Much of what Bundy does is about strengthening the range of rotation of his shoulders — “an emphasis of creating rotation in the shoulder and creating stronger legs,” says Denver. “It doesn’t do much good to create a greater range of motion in the shoulders, unless at the ends of that range you can add strength. One of the benefits I’m starting to see out of long-toss is that those guys are strengthening, stretching and increasing the range of external rotation of the shoulder by doing long-toss.”

Denver adds, “I know that when Dylan pitches he can come back and throw his long toss the next day. One reason is that if anything’s wrong, he’ll know right away, and something can be done about it. Since we’ve been doing that, he just never gets sore.”

As you probably already heard, a DSD family member passed away a few weeks back.

George Clinkscale was a special athlete and a special man and will be missed but NEVER FORGOTTEN.

If you didn’t know George please check out out last blog post about George…

http://thedsd.com/george-clinkscale-rip-dynamic-sports-development/

We had the opportunity to attend George’s memorial and celebrate his life and the awesome legacy that he left here!

George and his fiance have a 2 year old daughter and his fiance, CoCo is due anyday with their second child.

At DSD we have made it part of our mission to do our part during  this difficult time for Georges’ family.

We are excited to announce “Pulling For George!”

Coach Jaime has been selected to compete in a world championship powerlifting meet on 10/22/11, The Night of The Living Deadlift!

So Coach Jaime has decided to dedicate this event to Big G!.

Coach Jaime will be pulling for George to raise money for George’s family during this challenging time in their life.

George loved the weight room and loved powerlifting so we know that he will be excited about this!

This is George in highschool competing in a powerlifting meet, pulling 600lbs.

To honor George Clinkscale’s passion for Powerlifting, Jaime has committed his competition at Night of The Living Deadlift to George’s family.

Basically, we are giving you an opportunity to get involved and team up with Dynamic Sports Development and Coach Jaime to raise some funds to bless this family with.

Here’s how it works:

The pledge will be based on a money amount per pound lifted by Coach Jaime’s final attempt. (Example: Pledge $0.05/lb. and he  Deadlifts 500lbs, it will be $25 total).

Coach Jaime has been training hard and plans on pulling 500# at this meet.

So my question is, how much would you like to invest in George’s legacy?

Please note that Coach Jaime or DSD will  receive none of this money personally.

ALL proceeds will go directly to the family!

On October 22, 2011 Coach Jaime will compete at the Night of The Living Deadlift.

He will have 3 attempts to Deadlift as much weight as possible. His last attempt is what you pledge for…

You will then be able to write your check based on the amount you pledged per pound.

The checks will then be made out to Dynamic Sports Development and need to be collected by Wed. Oct. 26th

The total amount will be compiled into one check which we will then present to George’s family later that week.

CoCo (George’s Fiance) is  expecting the newest addition to the family the week of October  26^th. so this will be a HUGE blessing for them!

We need your help!

It’s not about how much will you pledge but rather if you pledge?

Whatever you decide to commit to pledge per pound just please email that and the following to jaime@thedsd.com

Name, Phone, Email, $/lb Pledge

We are excited to be able to bless the family of a GREAT man during a time of need!

We truly feel that we are blessed to be a blessing and what a great time to pick someone else up in a time of need!

Are YOU in?

We ask that you consider teaming up with all of us at DSD and showing this family that they are loved because of the impact that their Fiance and Father had on others.

Let’s do this!

Thanks!

The DSD Team
