This week’s episode of Keep Klimbing was filmed at the Premier Pitching Wentzville location, as Brett continues building on the foundation laid in recent episodes — workload balance, velocity phases, pitch arsenal construction, and sequencing — by stepping into the next critical stage of development: The Pitch Design Phase.
This episode covers:
• Understanding developmental fit — not every pitch fits every arm
• Workload-informed timing and when to introduce design phases
• Biomechanical determinants of pitch effectiveness
• Evaluating pitch performance using measurable thresholds
• Making sure pitch design enhances performance rather than increasing unnecessary risk
The message remains consistent: development must be intentional. Pitch design should align movement, workload, and mechanical efficiency to the athlete in front of you.
