Jason Burke - Lander University | From Ramping Up to Recovery - a podcast by Jeff Stanek

Jason Burke the Head Coach at Lander University, a Division II program in Greenwood, South Carolina. He began his collegiate baseball playing career at Lander University and finished it at Southern Wesleyan University in 2004. Not soon after graduating he began his coaching career, spending 2006-2007 as an Assistant Coach at Wofford University. Then, from 2008-2011 he was Assistant Coach at Gardner Webb University and from 2012-2016 returned back to Wofford University as an Assistant Coach. In August of 2016 he was officially hired on as the Head Coach at Lander University, where he still remains. 

We start off this podcast asking Coach Burke if he thinks it’s smart for a pitcher, at any level, to take a break from throwing and what he believes is the recommended time period.  Also, diving into a conversation about what it looks like for one of his pitchers to ramp up and get prepared for the long season.  

Coach Burke and I also discuss in-season throwing plans and the difference between starting and relief pitchers, as well as in-season lifting.  We finish off this podcast talking about picking an instructor and why Coach Burke finds it so important.  Lock into this podcast to hear and learn from Southern Wesleyan University Head Coach, Jason Burke.
