My 2022 did 18 months with Cressey remotely and visited both the Massachusetts facility for his initial assessment by Eric and the Florida facility for follow up assessment and in person work with Eric and the staff.  He has now been working with Driveline remotely for about 10 months after doing an initial on-site week in Seattle at their facility.  We stopped Cressey when we started DL as they have too much overlap and the physical/time/cost demands are incompatible.

Here is my take:

Cressey is the best at identifying systemic issues and designing a program to address those issues.  Be it strength, joint mobility, stability….or some combo of the three.  Cressey’s program was critical to get my son to a point where he was ready to accept the specificity of a Driveline program.  Cressey built the base and Driveline is sharpening the tool, if that makes sense.

My 2025 just started with Cressey in June.  He may or may not do Driveline in the future, it will depend on a number of factors.  He will definitely not do Driveline until he reaches physical maturity and has the base of fitness to handle the arm specific rigor of DL.

I will say that the summer college program at Cressey does program throwing and is different than just the general training program so may be a bit of a hybrid of the two.

ETA- my assessment would be that Cressey 80% total body training focused on the needs of throwers with 20% focus on actual throwing where DL is 80% arm/throwing focused with 20 total body training.
