Advanced Pitching Academy

  Gaining velocity and throwing hard is an essential part of being a successful pitcher and gaining interest of coaches at the next level.  We go through an extensive throwing arm and full body strengthening program using the latest tools like bands, weighted balls, throwing tubes, medicine balls, dumbbells, and various other strengthening items to help develop arm speed, arm strength, and full body strength.

 With the help of the Rapsodo PRO 2.0, we spend a lot of time focusing on pitch design. Whether we are looking for the best breaking ball to pair with an individual’s fastball, or designing a completely new pitch, we have all the tools necessary to quickly shape your most effective offerings. Understanding your pitch metrics is a must in today’s game, and will make you a more effective and efficient pitcher. 

 Having efficient mechanics is the only way to effectively convert strength and arm speed into velocity from the mound. We use video analysis to detect mechanical problems, and a series of drills to correct flaws. This helps pitchers to build confidence in their delivery and their ability to repeat a mechanically sound and healthy pitching motion. 

Throwing the ball where you need to is a huge part of being successful as a pitcher. We train pitchers to not only understand what it takes to make the ball go where they intend but also design drills set to acquire a feel for mastering each location.

 We help all participants build an individualized arm health care program so they can stay healthy and prevent setbacks.  A good arm health program not only prevents injury, but allows pitchers to recover faster.
