Rowan Trepicchio, a junior pitcher at Northern Highlands, came into the offseason with a strong foundation and plenty of upside. At approximately 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds, along with an excellent body fat percentage, Rowan already possessed a solid athletic base for his size.

With the opportunity to add muscle and improve the physical qualities that support high-level pitching, our work at RPP focused on helping him become more explosive, more efficient, and better equipped to translate his athleticism to the mound. Results speak for themselves. This spring, his peak velo is up 4 mph, T83 and with 32 IP, he’s carrying an ERA of 1.07.

This past off-season, we had the pleasure of working with Lodi High School’s Ryan Reynoso here at RPP, and the early results have been extremely encouraging. Ryan came into the winter at 5’9”, 178 pounds, with 15% body fat, giving us a strong starting point from a body composition standpoint. From there, our goal was to identify the areas that would most impact his athleticism, movement quality, and ability to transfer strength into performance both in the gym and at the plate.
