Detroit Pitching Development is a performance training system designed specifically for high school and college baseball pitchers seeking to elevate their game to the next level. Combining cutting-edge sports science, biomechanics, strength and conditioning, and individualized coaching, the program focuses on improving velocity, command, pitch development, and injury prevention.
Each athlete undergoes a comprehensive assessment, including video analysis, mobility testing, and workload tracking, to create a personalized development plan. The program integrates progressive throwing protocols, weighted ball training, strength training tailored for pitchers, recovery strategies, and mental performance coaching. Emphasis is placed on proper mechanics, efficient energy transfer, and long-term durability.
Athletes train in a competitive, supportive environment under the guidance of experienced coaches, former professionals, and performance specialists. Whether in-season or off-season, the Elite Pitching Program prepares pitchers not only to dominate on the mound but optimize your ability throughout your game.
