What is VAA? Why does it matter? Why are there guys that can throw 92-94 up in the zone for whiffs while some throw 95-96 up and it gets crushed? Let's talk about it⬇️🧵
16 year old @gholt27 saw some serious gains today despite an abbreviated (4 week) on ramp⛽️ On May 26th, he averaged 74.5 topping out at 75.1 and today he set a lifetime PR of 78.9 (77.9 for a strike)🔥 He also sat 75-77 overall today, hard work paying off!
Over the last couple of years in professional baseball there has been a lot of discussion about Batting Average and why current MLB hitters struggle to hit over the magical .300 mark. So... Let's Break Down Batting Average 🧵 1/13
You know you are training with the right people when you hear a couple training buddies chirp each other with- "Will you please stop being scared of things that make you better!" 🔥
One of the most slept-on aspects of training: the environment. It’s not necessarily about the newest facility or fancy training tools. It’s about like-minded people, accountability within genuine relationships, and systems that provide guide rails for efficient development.

A bad velo day isn’t always failure—it’s feedback. Truly a tale as old as time.
I love it when dudes start panicking because their velo in the off-season isn’t what it was when they PR’d in a conference tournament playoff game

🧵 I've been at Driveline for almost 3 months and I've learned more about player development than I ever thought possible If you're a college/high school coach wanting to turn your hitters into ANIMALS, this thread is for you 👇
10 pitches. 3 punchouts. Exclusively heaters. 95-97🔥 Pure dominance from Carson Lambert in his Lexington Legends debut. 📊 28 IP | 0.64 ERA | 0.79 WHIP | 12.5 K/9 📈 Throwing the hardest FBs of his life @C_lamb16 considered retirement. Instead, he's having a career year🙌
How much does he throw off flat ground? How much does he throw off the mound? He throws 100 on a running start. Difference between each tells us the impact of each And the difference between flat-ground and running-start tells us how fast he is actually running at that moment
First 100 for my guy @Cammagee7 on a compression throw💯 Cam mocapped at 92 after not pitching for years. At the end of his on ramp… mound work coming soon for the former Braves MiLB SS👀📈
Back on June 17, 2025, one week after starting the @DrivelineBB program. Vacationing in Barcelona, work doesn't stop. Gotta get the plyo work in.

With the JUCO grind complete, I am looking for a university for the upcoming season with two years of eligibility left. I have been training all summer hitting 90+ on the gun and honing in command , ready to bring it to the next level. @FlatgroundApp @GrayLiebhardt @pmacdonald22
Have YOU ever tried to throw 100??? @WijaySachin tried today and checked off a few milestones in his first velo day of the summer🪨 First ever throw at 90+mph✅ Set a new Pulldown PR at 91.8✅ 4oz pulldown PR at 96.6✅ College offseason heating up @DrivelineBB 🔥⛽️
Another electric moment from yesterdays retests⚡️ Anthony Romano of OUAZ has been working hard the past 6 weeks and it’s paid off for him💪 Up to 89 (88 for a strike🤣) and multiple velo slaps from his training partner Derek Dalmacio 90 up next with some command/pitch design📈
I am more satisfied with the thought of never being an expert than by the complacency that comes with claiming expertise. New blog out—Never an Expert pearsonperformancelab.com/blog
83 ➡️ 91 ⛽️ safe to say Aidan Sandvik made the most of his six week on-ramp phase 👏 In this edition of The Desert Shift Podcast, @daultonbarry and @GrayLiebhardt discuss the role artificial intelligence in baseball, how it impacts scouting and player development, and how the…
Beating the boomer allegations one day at a time @D_Gargas
Had @GrayLiebhardt take some time on Jersey Thursday to teach the rest of us Boomers how to utilize the new content systems🎥 The end result? This heartfelt (totally not forced) message from one of our HS athletes personally thanking @drivelinekyle for the new upgrades🙌
Multiple PRs from todays retests, we will start with Sachin Wijay on his second day back from @BardBaseball Sachin hit 86 in the launchpad for the first time today, now it's time to dial in that command and get him to 90 this summer💪
