This will include Bands- Med ball Routine and much more to maintain flexibility, strength throughout the pitching program and really focus on the guys understanding the importance of this, before we get started in October. This program the boys will start with band work and med balls and plyo balls before they even pick up a baseball in the pitching program, {IF YOU MISSED this in Phase 1 and signed up for Phase 2 we will have a couple of Arm Care classes in early January.

WE STILL FEATURE :The Pitching Lab will feature a brand new plyo wall for our Driveline program, will feature  rapsodo  which is the leader in sports analytics. gives you all the information to improve your pitches, video analysis technology also in the new lab. so excited to have all this for the upcoming player development season.

We now have added the weight room as part of the program. We will have different classes for different age groups and skill level. We have set up a weekly routine for all levels to follow with our professional staff overlooking the development. 

We have the knowledge of pitching like no other pitching program, our average Velo was over 4-5 mph last year and more importantly the pitchers learned how to pitch and learned arm care.

Training Info

Week one will be a testing week that will measure progress and performance. We will establish a personal workout schedule based on the testing results. We will make sure we progress velocity gains and improve mechanics on a weekly basis, we will use videotaping as a tool for your development. all weekly updates and velocity and zone tracking will be posted each week to challenge each other.  Please remember this is advanced class and our expectations is to improve each player, but will not hesitate to let players go who are not working hard or doing work on their own.

Velocity Plus Development

We will use a radar gun for both High School and Youth Development, so many new techniques have been added to develop velocity and will be used thru this program. On a weekly basis we will be incorporating band work, strength work, long toss programs, flexibility programs, weighted balls, and more. We promise increase velocity if program is followed on a weekly base.

 Strike Zone Development

With or without velo, you still need to throw Strikes, our increased Bio Mechanics and extensive drill work, will improve our pitching zone location. With video tape analysis, and throwing and working on grips to location, this is part of the Velo Plus.
