A) Training at RPP
At typical day of training at RPP generally requires 2-3 hours at the facility. You can think of it in four distinct parts:
-
- Warm-up / Soft Tissue Work – The initial portion of your day could take 20-30 minutes
- Hitting / Throwing – Working on your craft whether it’s hitting / throwing / pitching or doing related drill work could generally last around 60-75 minutes
- Strength Training – Weight lifting portion of your day will take approximately 60-75 minutes
- Recovery Work – Finishing your workout with recovery work will require approximately 15-20 minutes
Training with other high performance athletes in a culture that breeds excellence can also lend itself to hours of conversation and learning outside your specific training sessions. Given the setting and culture, it would not be unusual for athletes to remain at the facility for many more hours than highlighted above.

C) Pitching Programs
Yes, we do! Our 12-week Summer Throwing Program is specifically designed for pitchers whose main priority is to improve their velocity and overall performance.
Upon starting the program, each athlete will receive a thorough assessment that will provide us with the necessary info to provide each with a customized blueprint and a plan. All athletes in the program will also receive nutritional guidelines as well as the opportunity to receive manual therapy. The following is a summary of the various components of the program which would be included in each athlete’s programming:
-
- Movement Physical Assessment
- Video Analysis
- Pitch Design (data and video)
- Throwing Program
- Strength and Conditioning Program
- Recovery

The introduction of new tech like Rapsodo cameras is changing the landscape for pitchers at all levels. Working with our pitchers here at RPP, the first thing we do in Pitch Design work is get what we refer to as the pitcher’s DNA, which generally requires a full bullpen on the Rapsodo camera with at least a dozen pitches by pitch-type.
From there, we break it down into several components and review each piece of information in-depth. It’s basically like preparing a game plan. Let’s go over step-by-step what we look for and how we assess the results:
-
- Spin Efficiency %s
- Movement Patterns
- Differentiation and Relative Movement
- Holes in the Movement Pattern
- Consistency of Pitch Axis by Pitch Type
- True Spin Rates
- Arm Slot (Release Height and Side)

D) Hitting Programs
Yes we do!
The Hitting Development Program is a comprehensive 12-week protocol and it’s heavily reliant on data analytics to assess and develop players. It includes an extensive upfront assessment covering various hitting metrics, and the athlete’s strength and mobility profile.  The information allows us to prepare a customized hitting program and individualized strength training specific to each player’s needs. The following is a brief summary of the initial evaluation:
-
- Movement Assessment
- Strength and Power Assessment
- Kinematic Sequence Patterns
- Swing Path Metrics
- Batted Ball Results
Please click here for additional details.

As an athlete, you are not able to move efficiently if your body isn’t in a position to do so. Incorporating assessments, strength training and data analytics into how we train players is a bit of an art. Since each and every player is different in every way, the key is to parse through the information and determine which pieces are relevant for each player. Below is a typical testing day for position players at our facility and it’s broken up into several sections:
-
- Movement and Strength Assessment
- Video Review and Analysis
- Kinematic Sequence Analysis
- Swing Metrics
- Batted Ball Results

As our business has evolved and grown during the past couple of years, many athletes have been asking us about visiting on a short-term basis and then continue with their training closer to home. So, the topic of how long you need to visit with us at RPP, when traveling a distance, is a great topic to go over.
You CAN visit with us for a short-stay and then train on a remote basis, or choose to stay longer altogether. Â Your options are as follows:
-
- 2-days (initial assessment)
- 5-days (assessment and introduction to programming)
- Longer Stays (assessment and training)
You can complete this form “scheduling a visit” or click here for additional details.
