P90 Pitching Development –

Project 90 is a program for pitchers that will give athletes the opportunity to continue their development and prepare them for the upcoming fall season. 

‍Programs will be unique to each athlete. The initial assessment, workload from the spring season, and personal goals will dictate which direction each pitcher will go with their summer training. Each program will include strength and conditioning, mobility, and a throwing program with an emphasis on pitch design, velocity, or recovery. Through oversight & small group work, Project 90 will create a competitive environment that will challenge athletes & assist them in pursuing their goals.
