About

Built Different.
Train Different.

After 5 years in the Chicago Cubs organization, I learned what separates good pitchers from great ones. It's not just talent—it's the relentless pursuit of mastery and the discipline to train smarter.

Now I've dedicated my career to passing that knowledge on. Over 1,000 athletes trained. 180,000+ followers learning from my content. Two bestselling books. And a community of pitchers who refuse to settle.

Knuckleball Breakthroughs

"Only day 6 and I have gotten my first 5 nasty knuckle balls. One of the times, I got no spin, and the ball moves slowly right and then sharply left"
Yoann D.
Knuckleball in 6 Days
"I threw some knuckleballs today and had some really good ones with zero spin and good movement"
Manu F.
Perfect Knuckleball Spin
"Throwing 'insane' knuckleballs that were straight then like just before the plate they were falling on a side or else so the catcher couldn't catch them"
Yoann D.
Unhittable Movement
"Up to 67mph with my fastball, 62mph with my slider, 58mph with my knuckle, 57 with my knuckle-curve"
Yoann D.
Complete Arsenal

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. The knuckleball is one of the most unique and unpredictable pitches in baseball — and that's exactly what makes it so effective. While it's less common, it's been used at the highest levels of the game for over a century. Hall of Famers like Phil Niekro and modern pros like R.A. Dickey built entire careers around it. The knuckleball's slower speed and unpredictable movement can throw hitters off balance in ways no other pitch can.
We've had students as young as 8 years old successfully learn the knuckleball. If you're a pitcher who wants to extend your career, protect your arm, or separate yourself from the competition — this program is for you. The knuckleball can be your solution whether you've had arm injuries, lost some velocity, or just need something to stand out.
Many students see significant progress in just weeks. Our system is proven to get you throwing a knuckleball within 3 months (or sooner) as long as you follow the program. We're so confident in the training that we guarantee you'll add the knuckler to your arsenal in three months.
In many cases, our online training is more effective than traditional once-a-week lessons. You'll have a clear progression of drills to follow every day, rather than forgetting what to practice between sporadic lessons. You can re-watch the instructional videos as many times as needed. Plus, with our weekly Zoom calls and video analysis, you're getting consistent, personalized feedback — it's like having a coach with you all the time.
Yes — Coach Zeller offers in-person lessons in Redondo Beach, California for those who want hands-on training. Local pitchers can schedule private sessions to supplement the online program. However, the core of the academy is online for a reason: it's highly structured and convenient. In-person lessons are totally optional — our online students get amazing results on their own.
