This college senior has an insane transformation🤯⁠ ⁠ Craig Stem breaks down how he did it ⬇️⁠ ⁠ The mechanical breakdown showed a delivery full of compensations that were killing his velocity. Poor first move out of leg lift with almost no drift. Back knee dumping toward third base.... Front leg swinging open way too early. Throwing arm getting stuck behind him in a "power T" position. ⁠Landing with his front foot wide open. Upper half having to overcomperate just to get back on line.⁠ ⁠ The fixes started simple during his spring season. Pendulum drill to relax the arm, getting off his quad, more linear direction to home plate. He topped 91 for a new PR in April.⁠ ⁠ May-June: Introduced elbow-driven arm action. Ethan had a hand-driven philosophy that created a long, inefficient path. Cueing elbow flip kept the arm short and captured momentum better.⁠ ⁠ Craig discovered that Ethan avoided external rotation. He wanted his hand on top of the ball. So he kept him in IR as long as possible, got to ER late. Late layback became his power move.⁠ ⁠ October: The lateral tilt piece changed everything. "Dip into the velo bucket" then explode out of it. Shorter arm action + more efficient lower half + ability to rotate fast and pull that arm through.⁠ ⁠ December: Ethan ran it up to 95 MPH multiple times.⁠ ⁠ January at Tread HQ: He came out sitting 96 and topped 98 indoors.⁠ ⁠ Potentially the coolest part? Ethan Hochendoner made 90% of these gains remotely.show more

Jeff Burton's full story of Greg Biffle secretly racing with a broken arm during his rookie season in Cup: Biffle called his PR guy one night and told him that he broke his arm "climbing in the motorhome" (which just so happened to be out at the sand dunes - feel free to draw your conclusion) and needed him to play along because he was going to hide the injury. Biffle showed up as late as possible to the next race at Fontana in a winter coat hiding a cast on his arm, and spent the week spending as little time around people as he possibly could. Biffle's team eventually catches on and works along with their driver in order to keep his injury a secret. Biffle goes on to finish 18th that weekend driving with one arm and despite spinning out in the middle of the race. Seven races later, he wins the Pepsi 400 at Daytona.

The difference in the way Drew threw in HS/college and what we saw in the videos from the Steelers rookie camp is extremely subtle (basically a slight adjustment w/ the front leg and zero change to his upper half or arm path/slot) and most wouldn’t be able to pick up on it. I disagree that he was early with his external rotation during college. The video below (from 2024) shows his typical approach over the past 7 years…staying loaded and coiled on the back leg until the front foot makes contact with the ground. The drill is designed to keep him loaded in his back glute, and maintain the discipline to not fire his hips early, until his front foot gets down. His front foot and hip slightly clear (while staying coiled in the core) to allow the hips to come through cleanly. That slight opening of the front hip, along with the slight closure-internal rotation-of the front shoulder is how hip-shoulder separation is created. Getting the hips to come through first (while the shoulders and arms stay back), then the torso, then the shoulders, is how hip-shoulder separation (power) is maximized. Learned that from Chris Hess and it’s been a fantastic tool.

This might be the best 3-minute explanation of throwing the football out there. Tom Brady does not describe throwing as an arm action. He describes it as a full-body transfer of energy. The throw starts in the ground. The feet create force. The stride organizes direction. The hips carry energy. The shoulders store and release torque. The arm stays relaxed enough to deliver the football instead of forcing the football. If the quarterback strides with his head in front of his chest, power leaks. If the front shoulder flies open, direction leaks. If the lead arm pulls across the body, the vector changes and the ball starts to spray. The mechanical standard is simple: Stride. Torque. Throw. The best part of Brady’s explanation is the relationship between speed and relaxation. When most quarterbacks want to throw harder, they tense up their upper body. Brady says the opposite. Move faster into the target, but relax the arm even more. That is high-level efficiency.

Kicking off year 2 with Penn State Freshman QB Peyton Falzone. Year 1 was a heavy focus on improving rotational quality, posture, stability and sequencing (for effortless power). He came into those first few sessions with a history of elbow pain but that went away completely in the first few weeks as he learned how to tap into the right power systems (AND take his throwing arm out of the power generation equation). His ability to throw for long periods of time w/o tiring and with no loss in velocity was something to see. Year 2 is building on what we started in 2025 and a heavy focus on arm path (accuracy). Still work to be done but his potential is off the charts! Peyton Falzone Anthony Guercio #QBX🎯💪🌪

RHP Anthony Eyanson (LSU Baseball) is another college arm worth keeping close tabs on this season. After collecting 34 strikeouts across 29 IP as a Freshman, Eyanson last year pitched his way into a full-time starting role and worked a 3.07 ERA with 85 Ks to 24 BB in 82 IP. Last summer on the Cape, Eyanson allowed 2 ER and struck out 6 in as many innings before departing for Team USA. Eyanson has a prototypical pitcher's frame at 6'2" and 195-lbs with some present physicality in his lower-half. He has a simple and under control delivery, and attacks from a three-quarters arm slot. Whippy arm stroke, average arm speed. Eyanson does a nice job of consistently repeating his delivery. Will vary his tempo. Mechanically sound. Eyanson's FB sits in the low-90s, but was up to 97 this summer. Not a real bat-misser right now, but it has riding life in the top-half of the zone and will also flash some run/sink to the arm side at times. Consistently stays off the barrel of opposing hitters with it thanks to his advanced command of the offering. He supplements his FB with two distinct breaking balls. The first of which is a mid-to-upper-70s CB. Eyanson can both land it for strikes and get whiffs out of the zone with it. Will at times flash a big shape with true 12-to-6 action and some teeth. Raises his arm slot slightly when delivering it to get more on top of the baseball. Regularly flashes above-average. For me, Eyanson's best weapon is his low-to-mid-80s SL. Effective against both left and righthanded hitters. He manipulates its shape well and against LHH it has a harder, more gyro look. Against RHH, it flashes two-plane tilt with more sweep than depth. Late bite. Generated a 41% miss rate and held opposing hitters to a .127 average. Would give it a 55. Eyanson rounds out his arsenal with a seldom-used changeup. Sits in the low-80s and while he's still gaining a feel for it, it at times flashed late tumbling life. It's a fine 4th pitch. Eyanson has above-average command and control of his entire arsenal and has a lengthy track record of filling up the strike zone. He pitches with a slow heart beat and screams starter at the next level. In line to pitch on the weekends this season for LSU. Outstanding makeup!

Roki Sasaki with a sick and long awaited debut— before bumping his velo up a bit this AM, it was no secret that his fastball has been a bit down. Averaging ~98.8 in ’23 compared to ~96 last year. My social media guy has me posting insane clickbait, so I just wanted to throw these up and highlight a few differences I’m seeing: Initial CoM position at peak leg lift: -At peak leg lift, you can see back in’23, Sasaki’s center of mass is slightly shifted further away from the rubber. -Greater oppositional side-bend at peak leg lift. Back in ’23, it looks as though he’s got more pelvic side-bend to his arm side, and more thoracic side-bend into his glove side. What I think happens as a byproduct of this: -Gets stuck on his back leg—> You can see a more pronounced vertical shin now and the CoM not as far down the mound as he begins rotating. -Hingier torso posture with glove side direction slightly more across the body and higher—> Likely a byproduct of earlier pieces, trying to find some way to delay rotation. The body knows he’s trying to throw 100 and will do everything it can to delay rotating. When you see guys lose a bit of the ability to create good internal torque earlier in the delivery (get good shirt wrinkles as AnatomyLinks.com is king of demo’ing), you end up seeing the body trying to do too much downstream to make up for it. Ultimately what this all sets up is mistimed rotational and linear separation and an inefficient window for layback. Throwing hard is all about maximizing force into the baseball— which happens as the arm transitions into layback and through ball release. Do I have any idea what’s going on? No. Does Roki still throw harder than Ben Baggett ? Currently. Did this post spark interest, clicks, and possibly violence? Hopefully.

From sitting 88 mph T92 to 95-96 mph T97 in 1.5 years 🤯⁠ ⁠ When Tread athlete Brett Erwin first started with us, he had an average fastball of 88, and now about 1.5 years later here he is throwing 95-96 touching 97 MPH! So how exactly did he do it?⁠ ⁠ An Athlete update from Austin Roark 🔥⁠ ⁠ Brett had a great starting point in his delivery. There weren't any glaring issues mechanically that we needed to overhaul. The main focus was to improve the initial move/posture out of leg lift to allow himself to be in a better position into landing.⁠ ⁠ Another big constraint that we had while working together was the environment that we were throwing in. Brett, for the majority of the off-season, was throwing off of a grassy hill in the middle of the park into a 9 pocket.⁠ ⁠ Originally, the throws were around 86 to 88, but we eventually got up to 90-91 in that specific environment. It was a matter of time before we got on an actual mound against hitters to start seeing some better numbers show up, which eventually happened.⁠ ⁠ We utilized a lot of 1 MPH bullpens to focus on the idea of “throwing hard easy” which ultimately raised the floor and he was starting to really understand how his body needed to move. Once I felt like we were in a good spot mechanically, we added in a lot more intent work to get the output we wanted! ⁠ ⁠ The biggest factor in all of this is that Brett is a fantastic communicator. He consistently scheduled calls, sent over video, and asked a lot of great quality questions along the way. It takes a special kind of athlete to make a lot of progress remotely and to get the most out of remote training, and Brett has definitely made the most out of the opportunity!⁠ #TreadFam

This one change made him go from 87 to 92 miles an hour. He was stuck at 87 for two months. Then we changed one thing and he broke into the low nineties. His lower half was solid. His stride was dialed in. His pelvis rotation was clean. But he couldn’t break 87. The problem was his upper body couldn’t accept what his lower body was doing. His spine was firing way too early and trying to drive the whole throw. Here was the fix. We gave him a two pound medicine ball. It sounds simple, but here’s what happens. When you hold that ball out in front, it forces your core to stay back. That allowed his upper body to time up better with his lower half. If you want the full guide on how we trained him to break into the low nineties, comment guide and I’ll send it through.

Yamamoto Drill Progression 🧵⬇️ Yoshi has become the talk of Major League Baseball since signing with the Dodgers this off-season (rightfully so - he’s a freak). He does an incredible job of creating momentum down the mound, all while setting up his pelvis to rotate and block into FFS. If you’re a guy who struggles to do any or all of the things above, try this progression! 1️⃣ Javelin Lasso Variation: perfect to preset the pelvis in a position to block. Allows you to pull the arm into release using the spine and pec. 2️⃣ Abbreviated AA Roll-In: added momentum with the same benefits of the javelin lasso. 3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣ Yamamoto Walking Wind-Up (Abbreviated AA/Normal/Overhead): Abbreviated AA eliminates the arm swing (less things to screw up). The impulse of the overhead compresses the gloveside portion of your rib cage (delays lateral tilt - momentum killer). Slide Step vs. Leg Kick: IMO, the slide step makes it way easier to drift, hinge, and rotate behind the lead leg. As I step in, I try to feel the front hip stay open and then ride the slope sideways before catching the hinge into rotation. The leg kick can be added in once the slide step has been mastered.

RHP Patrick Forbes (Louisville Baseball) is an intriguing college arm to keep close tabs on this spring. Last year was Forbes' first focusing solely on pitching, and across 29 innings (12 appearances, 4 starts) he worked a 3.72 ERA with 32 Ks to 15 BB. Proceeded to have a great summer circuit that was split between Team USA and the Cape. On the Cape, Forbes was excellent and pitched his way to a 3.29 ERA with 22 Ks to 6 BB in 13.2 innings. Forbes has a strong, athletic build at 6-foot-3 and 215-pounds. Physicality throughout, some length in his lower-half. Compact, explosive delivery with a short, whippy arm stroke and plenty of arm speed. Attacks from a low-three quarter slot, ultra-high leg lift and really drives his back side through. Moves really well on the mound, high-level athlete. Relies heavily on his mid-90s fastball that he threw 77% of the time last spring. Sat 93-95 and topped out at 97, has been up to 98 this fall. Plenty of life through the zone with some ride in the top 1/3. Also plays well in the bottom 1/3. High-spin pitch that last year averaged North of 2,500 RPMs. Explodes out of his ~5'3" release height. Kind of a dead zone profile, but spin/release traits help compensate for it a little bit. Key is just staying out of the middle. 25% miss rate last year, good number especially given the usage. Supplements his FB with a high-70s-to-low-80s SL. Tight, two-plane tilt. Still gaining feel for the pitch and the shape can be a little inconsistent at times, but it will really flash. Will sometimes take on a true sweeper look that looks like a real weapon. Also throws a high-70s-to-low-80s CB. The shape will blend with his SL at times, but it will flash depth with sharp, downward bite. SL is definitely the better of the two - 41% miss rate last spring. Forbes rounds out his arsenal with a high-80s-to-low-90s power CH. Hardly ever uses it (5% usage in '24) but at times it showed serious late fade to the arm side with some tumble. Command can waver, but it's gotten better year-over-year and took another step forward this summer. Low mileage arm with plenty of upside. Bulldog mentality on the mound, checks a ton of boxes between his "now" stuff and athleticism. Certainly some reliever risk, but there's easy stuff to clean up across the board that will help maximize his chance to start. Day 1 upside this July.

In from Ohio last week was Chloe Taynor - just an 8th grader but already has a national reputation as a 2-way talent for Indiana Magic Gold 2030 Rogers/Fritsche Chloe added velocity while dropping relative stress on her elbow. We are thrilled to have her as one of our PVS athletes helping keep her healthy and strong with our App as she enters high school next year!!!! Great stuff Chloe !! Her before and after in the 🎥 below illustrates the important topic of arm lay back. Timing and “Layback" in throwing refers to a key biomechanical position in overhand throwing mechanics. The term describes the moment when the throwing arm reaches “maximum external rotation” just before acceleration and release. This is a major problem in Softball, because the sequencing of the act of throwing is often incorrect Ideally, we want The elbow up/near shoulder height. You will see the The forearm and hand "lay back" behind the body (the ball points somewhat backward or away from the target). At this point the shoulder is in extreme external rotation (the upper arm rotates outward), creating a stretched, loaded position in the shoulder and arm muscles/tendons. Layback acts like stretching a rubber band or "cocking" the arm — it stores elastic energy. When the body rotates forward (hips and torso leading), the arm rapidly internally rotates and whips through, generating much higher velocity and power. Better layback often leads to harder, more efficient throws with less arm strain (when mechanics are sound). This is something we test every girl for at the beginning of our sessions and at the end. Layback Matters in Softball Throwing Because it ▪️Increases throwing velocity. Elite throwers show significant layback to maximize the "whip" effect. ▪️Improves efficiency. When proper body sequencing is present hips → torso → shoulder → the arm produces layback naturally without forcing the arm alone. ▪️Reduces injury risk. Good / well timed layback comes from whole-body drive rather than arm-only effort.

Increasing bullpen PRs by 8 mph in 4 weeks, an athlete update from Performance Coach @Tread_NFlorence 🔥⁠ ⁠ Incredible progress made by Jonas Yatson in just 4 weeks after starting his program. Before starting he had a bullpen PR of 72mph and this past week he hit 80mph. To be clear he was sitting 74 T76 in games before joining Tread. ⁠ ⁠ The main area of focus for his mechanical adjustments was to address a pushy back leg and get him to drive effectively. Early torso rotation caused by lack of pelvis and torso segmentation, and getting his elbow flexion closer to 90 degrees.⁠ ⁠ Through plyo drills like the lasso, ryhtmn rocker and pivot picks with preset arm actions, we were able to kill multiple birds with one stone and tackle elbow flexion and pelvis / torso dissociation and some back leg work. ⁠ ⁠ Finally, I added my personal favorite, med-ball throws for overall rythmn, athleticism, and kinetic chain timing. Med balls provide a great non-baseball variable to increase focus on the lower half and torso.⁠ ⁠ Jonas has a great attitude and a desire for growth. No matter the program, athletes will get out what they put into it. Jonas is a prime example of putting in the work and seeing results. ⁠ ⁠ Excited to see where he goes from here!⁠ ⁠ -Nate⁠

Increasing bullpen PRs by 8 mph in 4 weeks, an athlete update from Performance Coach @Tread_NFlorence 🔥⁠ ⁠ Incredible progress made by Jonas Yatson in just 4 weeks after starting his program. Before starting he had a bullpen PR of 72mph and this past week he hit 80mph. To be clear he was sitting 74 T76 in games before joining Tread. ⁠ ⁠ The main area of focus for his mechanical adjustments was to address a pushy back leg and get him to drive effectively. Early torso rotation caused by lack of pelvis and torso segmentation, and getting his elbow flexion closer to 90 degrees.⁠ ⁠ Through plyo drills like the lasso, ryhtmn rocker and pivot picks with preset arm actions, we were able to kill multiple birds with one stone and tackle elbow flexion and pelvis / torso dissociation and some back leg work. ⁠ ⁠ Finally, I added my personal favorite, med-ball throws for overall rythmn, athleticism, and kinetic chain timing. Med balls provide a great non-baseball variable to increase focus on the lower half and torso.⁠ ⁠ Jonas has a great attitude and a desire for growth.

This camel endured months of suffering that left him almost completely broken, both physically and emotionally. He was exploited at a petting zoo, where day after day he was forced to let visitors stroke him, ride on his back, and pose for photos. His once-proud hump had completely collapsed, his ribs were painfully visible, and his teeth were so badly damaged that he could barely eat. The sadness and exhaustion in his eyes said more than words ever could. At 3 a.m., rescuers rushed in to get him out of there before it was too late. 💔✨ Thankfully, that wasn't the end of his story. Surrounded by gentle care and genuine love, he slowly began to heal. His hump filled out again, he regained his appetite, started making happy little sounds, and for the first time in years, he was free to run across a wide, open field of grass. From a soul that seemed to have lost everything, this beautiful camel finally rediscovered the joy of living and the life he had always deserved. 💖

As a former NFL Scout, I find it VERY interesting that Shedeur Sanders “dirted” his final play of his Pro Day in the 2-Minute Drill instead of making the high pressure throw to the end-zone and risking missing it as his lasting impression. This is also why he took some of his sacks (and yardage losses for his team) instead of throwing the ball away at Colorado the past two seasons. I’ve never seen a quarterback more afraid of making a mistake. The fear of making a mistake is engrained in him (likely from an early age). It’s spray painted all over his game film and poetically, it’s exactly how his Pro Day ended with him bowing out instead of stepping into the moment. The fact he “shied away” from taking the shot in front of the league at the end is VERY telling to me. It’s the take away. Three other impressions of mine from his Pro Day: 1. Average overall looking “arm strength.” There was a “wobble” on a number of his throws and he put too much air under his deep passes. He could not drive the ball much at his indoor Pro Day at 5,430 feet altitude (Boulder Colorado). He “flashed” having “decent” arm strength on a few of his underneath throws but he clearly lacks “arm confidence” and the confidence in himself to drive the ball. 2. Average location placement overall. 3. Pats the ball pre-delivery which telegraphs to defensive backs when and where he’s throwing. There was nothing and I mean nothing special, elite or dominant looking at his Pro Day that was set up in absolute ideal conditions for him. He mostly made short throws and put too much air under his deep throws. I have an undraftable free agent grade on him. He’s a practice squad level talent with a Hall of Fame last name. My dream is to get a second chance in the NFL and on my resume, I am advising teams not to select him in rounds 1-7 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Video credit: NFL

Chris Campos and his dad built a mound in his backyard and worked like crazy to master his slider last off-season, and, it absolutely worked. Campos is one of the most self-aware young pitchers I've seen pitch, and what I mean by that is he knows what makes him good, and he knows how to execute those sequences. He was the starting short stop at Saint Marys and didn't pitch much at all, so his ceiling is just now starting to grow. ++ athlete, which is very important, as we see with guys like River Ryan, live arm, and as stated before, he's just getting started as a pitcher. Campos has a similar backstory to Gavin Stone. He was told that he was too little to play D1 baseball, but he responded by going to a great baseball school and becoming an everyday player at a premier position. The Dodgers saw his arm talent, athletic ability, and ability to absorb and apply information, drafted him, and then converted him to a pitcher. Keep your eye on this guy, he's gonna continue to get better and better. #dodgers
