Our 3 month offseason throwing/arm care program wrapped up last week. The goal is to have our athletes have a full understanding of what it means to have a pre throwing routine, a structured throwing program, and a post throwing/arm care routine. Additionally we work on overall movement and being an athlete. Structure and holding them to a certain standard/expectation is at the forefront of what we do.

The graphics show year over year progress for our athletes that participated in last year's and this year's program and train with us throughout the year.

We test and track a variety of throws including seated throws, one knee throws, pulldowns, and throws from the mound/positional throws.

High school average increase per throw:
Seated - 5.5 MPH
One knee - 6.7 MPH
Pulldowns - 9.5 MPH
Mound/Positional - 6.8 MPH

Grades 5-8 average increase per throw:
Seated - 4.6 MPH
One knee - 5.7 MPH
Pulldown - 10.0 MPH
Mound - 7.4 MPH

📈💪🏼🔥
