Do you have a summer throwing program for pitchers?

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

How do you assess pitchers ball movement patterns?

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)
