Top Gun – Throwers Off Season Development Program

Please bear with me, just a quick story:

“Two years ago a young man showed up at Gamespeed. He had been cut from his high school team his senior year. Now he was entering his first year of Junior college but still had the desire to play. I asked him how good he was and he said he didn’t “throw very hard but I know I can play”. I said let’s get you evaluated. I sent him to a very knowledgable and respected pitching coach in the area. After throwing for the coach , he was told pretty much “he didn’t have it”, his velocity was 72-74mph and he was 18 years old, just too far behind. He was undersized and his body unathletic and weak. I asked him what did he want to do, he said I know I can play, so I said let’s get to work. For the next two years this young man put his head down and got to it, he worked out 3-4 days a week a Gamespeed and did the homework I gave him. He rarely missed a workout and […]

Pitchers & Throwers Conditioning & Velocity Development Program

Pitchers & Throwers
Conditioning & Velocity Development Program

Comprehensive Conditioning & Arm Development Program.

Gamespeed in conjunction with Devalin Harper of Four Corners Pitching have put together the ultimate off season development program. Rather than relying solely on throwing exercises we are taking an “inside out” total body approach to developing your pitching and throwing talents. The four month program is modeled on a progressive development approach where each phase of training builds upon the previous phase. The result is a safer program with longer lasting effects.

We are finalizing the logistics and tweaking the curriculum. That’s where your input is valuable. Attached is a brief survey, where your input will allow us to offer the best program for your needs. Please take a moment to give us your feedback.

Thank you,
Aaron Thigpen, Owner Gamespeed
