ELITE VELO PITCHING PROGRAM

THE ELITE VELO PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO BE AN ELITE PITCHING PROGRAM FOR THE ELITE MINDED PITCHER LOOKING TO DEVELOP VELOCITY, COMMAND, PRO LEVEL MECHANICS, SECONDARY PITCH DEVELOPMENT AND THE MENTAL PART OF PITCHING AS WELL AS STRENGTH TRAINING TO AID IN THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF THE ATHLETE. THIS IS AN ALL ENCOMPASSING PROGRAM THAT GIVES THE PLAYER AN ADDED ADVANTAGE OVER OTHER PLAYERS COMPETING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGIATE LEVELS. IF YOU HAVE THE DESIRE TO PITCH IN COLLEGE, THIS PROGRAM IS A MUST! THIS IS NOT YOUR GARDEN VARIETY VELOCITY THROWING PROGRAM.  THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU A BETTER PITCHER, NOT JUST HARDER THROWER!

****The reality is that pitchers are throwing harder now because of programs like this but pitchers are also throwing less strikes and don’t do the small things well like hold runners, pitch backwards, exploit hitter weaknesses.  College coaches want pitchers who throw harder, but if you cannot regularly get college hitters out it doesn’t matter how hard you throw, you will not pitch regularly!****

With Our Elite Velo Program you are betting on the knowledge of the people we have in place to help make you better!!

MANY PROGRAMS LIKE THIS ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER THE PLACE BUT ARE ESSENTIALLY “THROWING PROGRAMS" IMPLEMENTED IN SOME CASES BY SOMEONE WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN A PITCHER OR A HIGH LEVEL CATCHER.  THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IN GETTING BETTER WITHIN A TEAM, PROGRAM, LESSON OR CLASS IS THE INFORMATION YOU ARE GETTING AND THE WORK YOU PUT INTO IT!  IF YOU ARE INVESTING IN YOURSELF, MAKE CERTAIN YOU HAVE SOMEONE LEADING YOU WHO HAS THE BASEBALL PLAYING OR COACHING CREDENTIALS TO BACK UP THEIR WORK!

Other Programs or Devices we use within the ELITE VELO classes

J Bands
Jaeger Bands have been around for 10-15 years and have been a staple for many baseball players getting and staying healthy, throwing harder and learning the importance of arm care.  

Measure- Train- Perform Weightroom Assessment and Performance 

https://www.measuretrainperform.com/
Coach Beiting will put together and individualized program in conjunction with the your throwing program to maximize health and gains as it relates to pitching. Coach Jake utilizes Teambldr APP to upload individual programs that can be followed at home as well. 

 

PROPLAY AI 

Pitch AI will be used in conjunction with our spin rate and velocity measuring radar gun to help determine what mechanical adjustments we can make to help you perform better.  This software is backed by Driveline and Prep Baseball Report as well as MLB teams.  The technology is simple to use AND interpret!

 

PC 360 Powercore 

The PC 360 is a belt system designed to teach explosiveness in both the lower and upper half of the body.  The drills used help the player develop a better/quicker feel for how to maximize their energy while throwing.
