Top Velocity Dayton

Helping baseball players achieve their velocity goals — with a health focus and athlete-focused development.

A complete throwing and arm care program for athletes of all ages. Offseason work builds the arm. In-season work keeps it healthy and on the mound.

27 arms have hit 90+ MPH in this program.
