Personalized Training Programs for Peak Performance 📈
Throwing Program: Precision and Power on the Mound! ⚾
Elevate throwing mechanics, arm strength, and accuracy with our Throwing Program. Our expert coaches guide athletes through specialized drills and techniques to refine their throwing and pitching skills. Focusing on proper form, velocity, and precision, your athlete will become a formidable force on the field, confidently making accurate throws with enhanced arm strength. DREAM Team Sports Center features certified Rapsodo instructors and multiple Rapsodo stations.
Rapsodo provides the pitcher with near instantaneous feedback on their pitch history, and according to Rapsodo Inc, “pitching metrics, including velocity, spin rate, spin direction, and spin efficiency” (Rapsodo Inc, 2023), are all the measurables on their service. This means the coach can provide the player with the data to back up what the ‘eyes see’, and the player can use the information provided by Rapsodo to make the necessary adjustments and corrections. For instance, if the data is showing the pitcher’s fastball spin direction is more inline with a sinker or a cutter, then the coach can make the adjustments with the player to correct the spin and streamline it more in line with a traditional fastball, or to realign the pitch to develop that sinker or cutter variation.
Players could also use the Rapsodo technology to develop new pitches. Using the spin direction data and pitch break analysis to develop new pitches in their repertoire, such as a wipeout slider or a big lateral sweeper. Furthermore, here is a great video from Rapsodo where they explain their product.
The Throwing Program includes:
- Rapsodo Reports (video analysis: slow motion replays & video breakdowns)
- Personalized 1 on 1 work with a coach (Mound work, Pitching lab)
