We rely on objective data to identify what might be missing when an athlete isn’t achieving their desired results. It’s also essential to remember that there are always two sides to the equation: what you’re doing outside of training is just as important as the work you put in here.

Everything needs to be considered to get the full picture.

UCL injuries aren’t just a pro problem.. they’re showing up earlier and more often in youth baseball.

Between year-round travel ball, early workload spikes, and the pressure to chase velocity, young arms are under more stress than ever.

We’re not just chasing metrics, we’re developing sustainable athletes.

That means training with intention, managing workload, and prioritizing both performance and long-term health.

Hard work is necessary. But smart work is non-negotiable. Velocity matters. Longevity matters more.

Not all throwing reps are created equal.

Catchers who transition to pitching often carry over movement patterns that limit their ability to get into positions needed for velocity and efficiency.

Less layback. Less external rotation. Different arm paths entirely.

That’s why individualized assessment matters because how you moved in the past affects how you move today.

A lot of players assume college coaches will handle their development. But that’s not always how it works.

College coaches have one main job: win games.
Our job? Develop players.

We study mechanics, velocity, command, and performance so when that coach is making lineup decisions, you’re ready to compete.

Different focus. Same goal. Player success.

This is what an Athlete Development Plan with us looks like

▪️ Medical Assessment
Full-body movement assessment. Orthopedic exam conducted by a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Dynamometer testing to measure strength and functionality.

▪️ Strength Assessment
Upper body and lower body biometric testing. Evaluation of spinal capacity from both isolated and global perspectives.

▪️ Throwing Assessment
Optional motion capture biomechanics data Detailed joint-by-joint analysis during pitching. Objective metrics for testing and retesting to track progress.

MOCAP ▪️ Something we use to set a baseline in the offseason, figure out what needs improvement, and track key metrics over time. It’s not necessarily about overanalyzing every little movement. It’s about making smart adjustments and knowing that what you’re doing is working.

It’s also important to remember that it’s not a magic fix. It’s simply a tool to track progress and make sure the work you’re putting in is actually paying off. 🫡

We’ve shifted the way we train athletes over the last few years. Not necessarily by doing more, but by doing it smarter.

From weekly force plate testing to dynamometer assessments, we’re using objective data to manage workload, guide recovery, and communicate directly with coaches.

Whether it’s a 16-year-old phenom or a future D1 starter, our goal is the same: keep them healthy, progressing, and performing at their peak.

Technology isn’t replacing coaching but it is reinforcing it. And that’s how you build longevity in the game. 🫡

Thinking about getting a PRP injection for your elbow?

Before you do, make sure you understand what actually impacts your outcome.

✅ Success rates sit around 50–60% for throwers.
✅ Tear location and timing of the injection matter.

If you’re shut down for 6–8 weeks, do you have another 6–8 to build back up before your next season?

We’re always here to help answer any questions if this is something you’re looking into.

Investing in smart training and movement quality upfront isn’t expensive.. it’s preventative.

Unpopular opinion: PT should come before strength training and skill work.

Let’s talk about managing expectations with UCL repair or reconstruction.. really, any UCL surgery.

A common question is, “How fast can I get back to playing? When will I be at full performance again?”

For athletes with an internal brace, the timeline is typically around 9–10 months. For those undergoing a full reconstruction, it’s often 12–14 months.

If you’re an athlete going through UCL recovery, it’s crucial to manage your expectations and understand that rehab isn’t linear. There will be ups and downs.

Our best advice? Focus on one milestone at a time.

When will I be out of the brace?
When can I lift and train in the gym again?
When will I start plyometrics?
When can I play catch?
When will I throw off a mound?

Taking it step by step, instead of fixating on the final return date, makes the process mentally, physically, and emotionally easier to handle.
