Introducing our Pitch Design Training Program beginning in January 2019

In an effort to combine the best aspects of our current Velocity Development program with the latest technology and individualized coaching sessions, we have developed a new program designed to prepare high school players for their season. Below is a sample timeline for each session:

Warm-Up, 30 minutes: During this time, players will complete a dynamic warm up that includes active stretching, J-Bands, wrist weights, the Oates Shoulder Tube, and PlyoBalls that will prepare each player to pitch while developing strength and improved arm action.

Bullpen #1, 15 minutes: Players will utilize the Motus Sleeve and our wall mounted radar system  during this session. With a coach, players will be provided live pitching data including velocity, pitch count, elbow stress, arm slot, and degree of shoulder rotation. Players will focus on maximizing fastball velocity and command of the strike zone. 

Bullpen #2, 15 minutes: Players will work with the Raposdo pitching unit which will provide live data and feedback on each pitch. Data points include spin rate, spin axis, velocity, pitch break (both horizontal and vertical), and a strike zone analysis. With a coach, players will focus on developing their off-speed pitches during this session. 

Recovery and Strength Training, 45 minutes: After each pitching session, players will complete an arm recovery program and a specialized strength workout designed for pitchers. The arm recovery program strength workout is developed by Driveline Baseball.
 

Other Important Information:
  • This program is offered to players ages 11 and up and players will be grouped together by age and/or ability.
  • The class lasts 4 weeks and finishes before the start of OHSAA baseball tryouts.
  • Pitch counts will vary based on each pitcher's needs, however no pitcher will throw more than 60 pitches in a session.

What is Pitch Design?

"The most important tool we have in house is the Rapsodo. It provides instant feedback on the pitch’s velocity, spin rate, spin axis, and pitch break. This gives insight into what the pitch is actually doing, and by comparing to other MLB pitches, how it can be improved."-Driveline Baseball.

In addition to providing players with not only the latest pitching technology, our pitching coaches (Mike Grady and Jon Pusateri) will analyze the pitching data, use video analysis, and our coaching experience to aid in our instruction during this program

What about Private Lessons?

We have worked hard over the past year to develop a training program that includes the best aspects of a private lesson with the best aspect of small group training. We strongly feel this program accomplishes this by providing players with individualized instruction (only two players pitching at once), live data and feedback, a structured warm up and recovery routine, and a customized strength program.

What others have to say:

"My son is in Grady's VIP program and this was his first time focusing on training to be a pitcher.  The program is exactly what you want, there is a movement screening, data driven approach to pitch design, mechanics, velocity , and command, along with strength training.  My son has improved his velocity, command, movement and off-speed pitches but most importantly he has improved how he thinks as a pitcher and how to actually pitch, not just throw. 

My biggest takeaway from the program is that Mike and his coaches care about helping my son reach his goals and support him.  My advice to any parent is to sign your son up for the VIP program and make sure he follows it, you will not be sorry!" - Mike Hampu

"My first and lasting impression of Grady's Pitching School is the enthusiasm Mike and his instructors bring to EVERY lesson.  They genuinely interested in your players growth and improvement.  Mike isn't trying to make every pitcher throw the same way.  He analyzes and experiments with each pitcher, e.g. different release points, different grips, etc. to try and maximize their individual skills.  Mike's understanding of pitching and pitch design coupled with the technology is second to none.  Mike truly uses the technology to enhance the players' training experience.  A lot of young players don't understand or possess the self-awareness to make adjustments.  The technology and Mike's analysis with your player allows them to not only see what they are doing, but to see how the adjustments immediately impact the results." -Ian Schechterman
