Folks,

I can speak from experience that Paul and his coaches are the best DFW has to offer. This program will make your pitcher better and stronger. Paul's techniques are second to none and are cutting edge. There are some other folks doing velocity type training but I promise it does not measure up to this. My advice would to sign your pitcher up and watch him get better. Many will gain 5-6 mph and some more BUT most importantly your pitcher will gain a foundation of strength and they teach solid mechanics. Also each pitcher will go in to the spring ahead of his peers and his arm will be in shape.

SultanofSwat - thanks and it's proof that the parents /player get to see these results that this camp provides each pitcher.

Ectiger93 - I appreciate the post and thank you for the kind words. The instructors I hire and myself take a lot of pride in providing this camp to DFW pitchers. The hard work all these kids put in really pays off and they see the results.

I'll be posting 2011 results as well soon

My question is are you saying plus 3 is where they are sitting at or is that just a one time top velo? Also not at all saying your program isn't a great workout but my personal opinion is the only one on this list that is interesting is your 12th grader that is plus 3. All these other kids are young and almost every kid that is from the 8th grade to 11th grade will jump plus 2 to 10 MPH. Its called growth and maturity. Now take a hand full of 22 year old kids and add 5 MPH to their fast balls and you would be a millionaire. If your kid is playing serious baseball and he doesn't jump 2MPH a year from 12-16 years old its time to hang it up as a pitcher and probably any other position. A hard throwing 12 year old would be about 60MPH if he only gains 2MPH a year until he is 16 that would mean he is throwing 70MPH his sophomore year. Not very good.

My neighbors kid is 11 years old never had a lesson in his life, plays 3 sports, baseball is his least favorite. He was throwing 42 at 10 years old and in 1 year he jumped to 61MPH. Miracle? No. Reality it happens to every kid that continues to play.

Newscout - We do avg velo and top velo at the start and end of our camp to show the progress of our pitchers. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and yours is warranted, but these results were done in our 3 1/2 week camp, not over the course of a year. Most certainly not based off growth and maturity. I know a guy named, Flint Wallace Weatherford JC pitching coach, that takes a handful of 18-21 years olds and does this every year! I don't know Flint's financial situation but he has alot of success increasing velo in college kids. This is the best pitching camp in the metroplex with numbers to back it. Other programs try to sell velocity camps but have heard bad reviews. I'm happy for your neighbor to increase his velocity in the year period. Our camps our based over 3-6 weeks.

SultanofSwat - Let's invent a 12 month camp....LOL
