Unlock the secrets behind long-term baseball development with Jake Oliger, one of the most forward-thinking throwing minds in the game. In this video, we break down the REAL roadmap for building elite velocity, durability, and longevity—while also exploring why Shohei Ohtani is a once-in-a-generation anomaly in today’s high-velocity era.

Whether you’re a pitcher, position player, or a coach trying to build athletes the right way, this episode dives deep into how training age, movement quality, rotational power, and arm-care consistency shape a player’s career trajectory. Jake explains why the best athletes don’t just stack velocity—they build a foundation of mechanics, adaptability, and athleticism that lasts.

We also analyze Ohtani’s unprecedented blend of biomechanics, athletic efficiency, and workload tolerance, and what actually separates him from typical MLB development paths. With Tommy John surgery becoming more common as velocities rise, we break down how to train smarter, develop rotational athletes sustainably, and protect the arm across an entire career.

If you’re serious about long-term baseball success—and you want a blueprint that works—this is a must-watch.
