About RPD Baseball
Our Experience
After 10+ years in the industry, we want to share everything we have learned in a simple, easy to use program. We'll help get down to the root cause of throwing, hitting, and strength deficiencies through our assessments and track your progress along the way.
Our holistic look at player development consists of the following:
- Looking at how a player moves (form)
- Finding the role of each body part (function)
- Identifying the goal (purpose).
To evaluate each player, we'll break down what information we need:
- What players are doing (video analysis)
- Why they are doing it (movement assessment)
- How they are doing it (strength and video evaluation)
The RPD process allows us to treat the cause of each action and not the symptom. We aim to help players stay healthy, increase their performance metrics, and sustain their success on the field. Choose from our pregame and post game workout templates in our RPD Baseball App, or let us create your Custom Baseball Development Plan for you.
