[Ben Brewster @TreadAthletics]

Going from mid-upper 80's to touching 95+ mph as a lefty in high school is pretty absurd.

What's also absurd is the fact that he's still 20lbs underweight and around 25% from our target strength metrics.

@ph3performance Thanks Coach

85-87 T88 MPH (HS Junior) ���️ 92-94 T95.5 MPH (HS Senior) 🤯⁠
⁠
An athlete update from Performance Coach @ph3performance 🔥⁠
⁠
Tread Athlete @RyanPress12 came to us a little under a year and a half ago sitting 85-87 mph, topping 88, and weighing in at 155 lbs. Fast forward to now, and he's sitting 92-94, topping 95.5mph.⁠
⁠
Overall, Ryan's foundation was there. However, the goal was to improve his total development in terms of strength, nutrition, and mechanics.⁠
⁠
Weight Room 🏋️⁠
’22-23 ➡️ ‘24⁠
DB Bench: 55lb ➡️ 80lb⁠
Back Squat: 250lb ➡️ 300lb ⁠
Deadlift:310lb ➡️ 370lb⁠
DB Row: 70 ➡️ 90 ⁠
⁠
Body Weight (+20lbs): ⁠
’22-23: 155 lbs⁠
’24: 175 lbs ⁠
⁠
Mechanics⁠
⁠
Ryan had an aggressive coil coming into peak leg lift, which was causing some downstream issues with his ability to rotationally load his back leg and maintain direction. This coil was also presenting as excessive torso counter rotation at foot strike, forcing an aggressive pull towards his glove side and negatively impacting both velocity and command at times.⁠
⁠
The change was utilizing a more controlled lift, thinking "knee to glove-side pec." Through a variety of med ball work and plyo drills, the goal was to help him rotate downhill in a more north-to-south vs east-to-west plane of rotation. This helped improve command, led to harder secondary pitches, and increased the output substantially on the heater. ⁠
⁠
Ryan, now a Senior in HS, ranks as one of the top prep arms in Canada. ⁠
⁠
Well worthy of a look for the upcoming Draft. 🚀⁠
