Pitching Program

Take The Field Pitching Program Build a stronger, more complete, and more confident pitcher, and be ready for Day 1 of the season. Over 14 weeks, athletes work on arm care, pitching mechanics, arm strength, explosive movement, and functional movement patterns. They move from the fundamentals to live bullpens, so they're ready to take the mound when the season starts. Dates: December 1, 2026 – March 11, 2027 (with a break for the holidays) How the Program Works The program has three phases, and each one builds on the last. Phase 1: Arm Care, Strength & Mechanical Breakdown (5 weeks). Athletes build a strong foundation. They set up consistent pre-throw and post-throw routines, learn proper arm-care techniques, and build arm strength in a controlled, progressive way. We break down and analyze their mechanics, and train lower-half strength, stability, and functional movement to support performance and help reduce injury risk. Phase 2: Mechanics, Arm Strength & Pitch Development (5 weeks). Athletes keep building on Phase 1 while focusing on pitch development. They work on mechanical consistency, control, command, and strike percentage. They also refine pitch movement and learn how to create and maintain quality spin, using Rapsodo data to see where to improve. Phase 3: Live Bullpens & Game Preparation (4 weeks). Everything comes together in live bullpen sessions against hitters. Athletes apply their mechanics in a competitive setting, work on pitch selection and sequencing, make adjustments based on live results, and build confidence on the mound. What Athletes Will Gain • Consistent pre-throw and post-throw routines • Strong arm-care and recovery habits • Efficient, repeatable mechanics • Better command and a higher strike percentage • Arm strength built in a controlled, progressive way • Refined pitch movement and spin • Explosive, functional movement and better strength and stability • Sound mechanics that help reduce injury risk • Measurable data to track progress • Experience competing in a live, game-like environment Track Your Progress with Rapsodo Athletes get Rapsodo pitching data throughout the program, so they and their coaches can see real progress from start to finish. The data includes velocity (MPH), pitch movement (run and depth), spin rate, and other performance metrics. Use the Rapsodo link below to learn more.
