Elite Throwing Program
Data-Drive. Indvidualized.
Elite Throwers are Developed. It doesn’t just Happen.
What We Believe About Throwing…
Technical—throwing is the act of moving efficiently within the context of fielding a ball— uncoiling the body to deliver the ball to the target at maximum velocity.
Efficient and Effective—the ideal throwing action differs from infield, to outfield, to catcher, and each thrower has a unique throwing action. We strive to build efficiency and effectiveness within that uniqueness based on prominent position played.
Velocity and Arm Strength—Arm speed is trained—not born. We build it systematically:
Structured throwing progressions that increase intensity with intent
Layered volume and recovery built into the weekly program
Regular velocity checks to measure adaptation and guide adjustments
Arm Care and Recovery— Just as pitchers need to take care of their arms so do position players. Arm care for the shoulder elbow ensure that we maintain strong healthy tissues to maximize throwing velocity while minimizing injury risk.
The Process
Evaluate. Plan. Grow
Evaluate—A process without a plan is a process that plans to fail. For us we start our plan with a mechanical evaluation to determine any throwing deficiencies.
Plan—Once we evaluate, we can develop a plan to address deficiencies, and build arm actions that fit that athletes natural motor pattern as well as their particular position.
Track and Progress—Arm speed is trained — not born. We build it systematically:
Structured throwing progressions that increase intensity with intent
Layered volume and recovery built into the weekly program
Regular velocity checks to measure adaptation and guide adjustments
Arm care woven throughout to keep the athlete healthy and on the field
