PITCHING ASSESSMENT

TEAM

Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your staff is critical to the success of your ball club. With objective data on their stuff (velocity, spin, movement, etc.) coupled with their mental makeup, arm health, etc. you will have a very strong handle on your staff.
​
Benefits
  • Objective data on pitchers
Each pitcher will receive an assessment of each of their offerings including Velocity, Spin Rate, Movement. Arm Path and more. No more guess work.
  • Player buy-in
Eliminate disagreements and differences of opinion. When the discussion is formatted around objective data, players buy-in much more readily. When you can show them data on their strengths and weaknesses they focus on improving themselves and not criticizing the coaching staff.
  • Cost
There are a number of ways we can structure the event to raise money for the program.
  • Targeted development programs for players
The data can be used to create more targeted, individual specific development plans. Each pitcher can work on individual development in a team setting.
​
Each player will throw 5 pitches for each of their offerings. We will measure the velocity, movement, spin and more. Each pitch will be given a Stuff value (relative to playing level). The Stuff value is a measure of how effective a pitch is with 100 being the average value.

What is a pitch arsenal assessment?
It’s a bullpen session where the velocity, movement and spin are measured for all of your pitch types (Fastball, curveball, slider, etc.). Once this data is captured, each of your pitch types will be given a Stuff value; a metric that grades a pitch based on its velocity, spin and movement. It’s scaled to your playing level.

Why do you need a pitch arsenal assessment?
Players
  • To know how good your stuff is
  • To share with coaches/recruiters
  • To identify where to spend your training time
  • To check your progress from your last assessment
Coaches
  • To understand the strengths/weaknesses of your staff
  • Objective data increases player buy-in
  • Allows you to personalize player development plans

PLAYER

Next, we will make some recommendations for each of your pitch types that will improve your arsenal so that you can compete better. You will be shown the change in the Stuff+ metric for each pitch type along with its corresponding change in movement and velocity.
Finally, we will provide you with cues to help you make the adjustments required by the recommendations.

How do I schedule my Pitch Arsenal Assessment?

How do I work on the recommendations?

You can either do it on your own or schedule Pitch Design Bullpen sessions with us.
The benefit of pitch design sessions is that we have the technology to give you feedback on how the adjustments you are trying are working. Our blob tool makes your session far more productive.
