Armcare.com program

My son always thought it was better to go to a reputable baseball trainer/facility (Cressey, Champion, etc), get an assessment, and then pay them to develop a custom program.  That does cost a couple hundred dollars (but not more than about $150 for an assessment and $120 for an eight-week program), and he thought it was better than making a mistake.  I don't know if armcare.com is a good program, but my son thinks that because every pitcher is different, the trainer needs to "see" you.  There's no one device that could do that.  Also, a pitching coach could be helpful, although personal coaching can get expensive.  Sometimes just a lesson or two helps a lot.  Just one opinion, FWIW.

Thx for your info. My son does go to a pitching coach once a week. I t would nice to go to a facility like Cressey , or in Texas, "The Ranch", just not sure we can get there.  Maybe this Winter Break we could go(hopefully). We are always looking to improve.

Thanks again for your in-site.

My son uses Armcare.com in addition to what he does at school. It is not going to be a program that fixes your mechanics. What it looks for is the weaknesses in your arm, strength wise. Then it provides you a program to address those weaknesses. Their measurement tool is pretty much the same tool that a PT for an MLB doctor used in when assessments on my son when he was doing rehab for his arm. The velo a pitcher will pick up is from addressing those strength deficiencies and in theory, create a healthier arm. But if you are looking for something to improve mechanics, you do need to go to someone like a Cressey, Baseball Ranch, Tread, etc.

Many of these baseball focused training facilities offer remote programs. It can be fully remote or you can visit just at key points in the year (or in the players development journey). Like RHP_parent I am most familiar with Cressey and Champion, but I am sure this is true with others.

Not familiar with Armcare.com other than their ads. Having devices collecting data and measurements are nice, but need people interpreting that data and coming up with a program. The device is just a tool.

Both my kids use the Driveline pulse device (previous Motus sleeve) but neither train with them. Very helpful coming back from from UCL surgery. One son has done remote training with Tread with very good results, and other is doing his RTT program with Dean Jackson.

Thx nycdad, for your info!
