The Scaffolding of the Elite Pitcher
A 12 month look back at one our our remote athletes
The Scaffolding of the Elite Player How We Took a Freshman Sitting 84–86 → All-Conference, International Team Ace Touching 94
Elite arms aren’t born on draft day. They’re built the same way a skyscraper is built: rock-solid foundation first → then the flashy penthouse.
Here is the exact scaffolding we used with one of our current college pitchers:
2025 All-Conference Pitcher of the Year
Starter for his country’s Senior National Team
Freshman year: 84–86 mph
Today: lives 92 and touches 94
Below is his real data and the exact order we followed.
Section 1: Setting the Base – A Healthy, Bulletproof Arm & Body
You can’t paint a masterpiece on a cracked canvas.
Day 1 (Fall 2024) ArmCare Total Strength Score: 118 lbs ArmCare Arm Score: 57 (minimum goal = 70)
Most recent test (December 2025) Total Strength Score: 203 lbs Arm Score: 93 (+85 lbs of rotator cuff + scapular strength)
How we did it:
Daily ArmCare testing (3–5× week) → instant volume/intensity adjustments
Progressive Pre-Hab inside the ArmCare app (perfect for remote athletes)
Wave-loaded throwing + mandatory deload weeks as needed
Non-negotiable sleep, hydration, and nutrition protocols
Real-world results:
All-Conference Pitcher of the Year
Made Senior European National Team
Set career-high innings pitched
Recovery dropped from 4 days → 2 days full-go
Elite stuff only shows up when the arm is no longer the weak link.
Section 2: Building the Mix – Pitch Grips, Shapes, and Velo Spreads
Once the foundation was bulletproof, we turned him loose as an artist.
Current 2025–26 arsenal is shown on the image at the very top of this blog (Pitch Logic averages – last 6 bullpens)
