Every pitcher asks it. The honest answer: velocity is not found, it is built - in four places at once.
Most velocity is trapped, not missing. An efficient delivery moves energy from the ground through your hand. We break down your video frame by frame to find where yours leaks.
A stronger athlete throws harder, period. Your plan includes strength and conditioning guidance matched to your age and training access.
Random long toss is not a program. Structured throwing with progression and intent, built around your season and your schedule.
Arms grow when they rest. Recovery routines are built into the plan because breaking down is the fastest way to lose everything you built.
It starts with your video. We assess your delivery, your athleticism and your current numbers, then build an individualized plan aimed at the specific things holding your velocity back.
Then the real work: weekly check-ins, video reviews, and adjustments as you progress. You are never guessing whether you are doing it right.
The receipts: athletes in the program have added up to 6 mph - and our first commit, Max Seidl, gained velocity on his way to committing. Your coach is an active Division 1 pitcher who trains the way he is asking you to train.
Anyone promising you a number in a fixed number of weeks is selling something. Velocity comes from doing the right work consistently - our job is making sure the work is right and that you actually do it.
Velocity is built through four things working together: efficient mechanics, strength, a structured throwing plan, and recovery. The Diamond Blueprint assesses your video, finds what is holding your velocity back, and builds an individualized plan with weekly check-ins and video review. Athletes in the program have added up to 6 mph. No shortcuts and no promised numbers - consistent right work.
Usually one of four things: mechanics, strength, the throwing plan, or recovery. Most velocity is trapped, not missing. Your delivery is broken down frame by frame on video to find where energy leaks between the ground and your hand, and the plan is aimed at the specific things in the way.
Yes. Random long toss is not a program. You get structured throwing with progression and intent, built around your season and your schedule, with recovery routines built in because arms grow when they rest.
It includes strength and conditioning guidance matched to your age and your training access. A stronger athlete throws harder, so strength sits alongside mechanics, the throwing plan, and recovery rather than replacing any of them.

Longer than a camp and shorter than you fear. Mechanical change becomes automatic over about three months, which is why the core program runs that long. The first month is a full video assessment and the initial plan. With consistent, correct work, 3 to 6 mph over a year is realistic for many high school pitchers, and athletes in the program have added up to 6 mph.
Yes, but the plan changes shape. In season the throwing work bends around your starts and bullpens, the strength work gets lighter, and the focus is holding velocity and staying healthy. The bigger jumps come in the off-season, when the plan gets heavier. Your weekly check-in is where that shift gets made for you, not guessed at.
Not to start. The assessment works off your video, and a phone is enough to film the reps that matter. A radar device like a Pocket Radar helps you track your sitting velocity over time, so it is worth having once the plan is running, but nobody waits on one to begin.
It depends on the age and the level you are aiming at, and the honest ranges are on the age pages: is 70 mph good for a 14-year-old, how fast a 15-year-old pitcher should throw, how fast a 16-year-old should pitch and how fast a 17-year-old should pitch. Velocity alone does not get you recruited, but it opens the door.
If your coach sees your real training film every week, yes. Velocity is built in four places at once, mechanics, strength, a structured throwing plan and recovery, and all four live in a weekly plan, not a one-hour lesson. That weekly loop is what the online pitching mentorship for high school pitchers is. You film, your coach reviews it against last week, you adjust on the call.
Apply, send your video, and the first conversation is about where your velocity actually is - and what is in the way.
