From Backyard Reps to the Big Leagues

Pitch Break Company was born from one girl’s dream and a bucket dad’s belief.

Hi, I’m Samantha Menne (Skillingstad) — a pitcher who fell in love with the grind at a young age. My goal? Earn a college scholarship and compete at the highest level. It wasn’t easy. It took hours on the field, in the gym, and behind the scenes when no one was watching.

One of the tools that shaped my journey was the Pitch Break Spinner. My dad mounted one on my bedroom wall, and I’d hit 250 spins before school and 250 more before bed. That simple tool helped me become one of the top riseball pitchers in the Pacific Northwest — and eventually, an Oregon Duck.

Now, I’m here to pass that same edge on to the next generation of pitchers.
