In-Person Pitching Training

Phoenix, Arizona

What to Expect During a Training Session

Mobility and Dynamic Warm Up

This will set the foundation for our training session. Preparing the body properly will help reduce injury and increase performance.

Bands and Plyos

Next we will go through a thorough band routine to warm up the shoulders, back, chest triceps, and forearms.

After that we will utilize plyo balls to further prepare the arm for catch play.

Catch Play

After bands and plyos we will go through our catch play routine. Distance and intensity will be based on what the player is prepared for that day.

Mound Work (Depending on the day)

Depending on the day, this will be where we do more plyo work on the mound to work on mechanical deficiencies or throw a bullpen. During bullpen sessions we will use Trackman and a Edgertronic camera to work on specific pitches, depending on the goal for the player. 

Post-Throw Arm Care

After each session, we will spend time cooling down and going through a post throw arm care and full body movement routine to help improve recovery.

Strength Program

After the throwing portion of the day is done you will move into your lifting program. The lifting will be tailored towards the time your specific needs and goals, as well as be lined up accordingly with your throwing schedule.

Trackman and Edgertronic Camera

Trackman allows us to get movement data on all of your pitches.

This will influence pitch development decisions and give us objective feedback on adjustments to make.

Along with the Trackman, our edgertronic camera will allow us to see exactly how the ball is coming out of your hand.

This will allow us to make adjustments quickly and eliminate the guess work.

Meet Your Coach

My name is Jared Gaynor and I have a burning desire to help players reach their full potential on the mound.

Over the last 5 seasons I have been a pitching coach in professional baseball. Now I want to take those experiences and apply them to privately training pitchers.

I have extensive experience:

• Using Trackman and edgertronic cameras to influence pitch shapes
• Building velocity based training programs
• Improving mechanical efficiency to improve health and performance
• Managing workload volume
• Improving command and building command programs
• Building strength and conditioning programs to optimize performance 

Building your own training program can be difficult.

Let's work together and help you make the most of your training.

You only get one career.

"Jared played an important role in my development early in my pro career.

With his help I was able to make great strides during the COVID lockdown which has helped propel me forward in my career.

Jared has an extensive knowledge when it comes to data/analytics in baseball and can help you utilize those numbers to push you in your career."

Kody Funderburk

LHP, Minnesota Twins

"Jared has been a great pitching coach for me since 2021. He has great knowledge on drills for feels, pitch design, and usages to optimize success at any level.

Jared does the drills himself and spends countless hours throwing different pitch grips to know how to coach players in each aspect.

If he doesn’t know something, Jared will do in-depth research to figure it out. Jared can take your game to the next level!"

Jordan Carr

LHP, Minnesota Twins

“Jared was a tremendous help during his time as my coach in pro ball. His knowledge of the game as well as his dedication to his players was something I’ve always appreciated.

He is easily one of the best coaches I’ve had the privilege of working with during my career.” 

Mike Paredes

RHP, Minnesota Twins

"I first met Jared when I signed with the Minnesota Twins in 2021. He was the first pitching coach I worked with and he helped me with different drills and mechanical adjustments that would better myself.

The adjustment and drills we did were to help me get into a better hinge and get down the mound better. This past year I started the year in Low A and got to work with Jared again. While working with him we focused on the same things when it comes to getting down the mound faster and getting more into my back hip.

While doing that and different drills during my workdays I saw an increase in my velocity and all my pitches were sharper. A a result I was getting more swing and miss and got called up to High A soon after.

Jared is also very talented with pitch design, understanding data and getting the most out of every player. 

I would 100% recommend Jared as a pitching coach and someone to work with if you want to get the most out of yourself. "

AJ Labas

RHP, Minnesota Twins

"Jared was my pitching coach for parts of 3 seasons in the Twins organization, and helped me tremendously in my pitching journey.

He brought great energy and passion to the ballpark every day, and was very knowledgeable about pitch metrics/pitch design and in-game pitchability.

I highly recommend him for any pitcher looking to take their game to the next level."

Jackson Hicks

RHP, Minnesota Twins

 "Jared has helped me tremendously in my baseball career. I have worked with them since I was 15 years old and have added 9 mph over that time.

This summer my velo went from 87 to 89 and I added a pitch to my arsenal (cutter) that I have never thrown before and within 1 week I was throwing it effectively in games.

Between the throwing, lifting, mechanics, pitch design, nutrition, and more Jared gives you everything you need to be a successful pitcher at any level."

Colton Book

LHP, Stony Brook University

"Jared was my first coach in professional baseball. We worked together on cleaning up my back leg drive and my trunk flexion. I gained 2-3 mph on my fastball going from 89-91 to 92-94 consistently towards the end of the 2022 season.

Jared has been diligent in continuing to work and find the best drills and techniques that fit my pitching style.

We were also able to improve my slider by adding horizontal break.

He has been very hands on and communication has been perfect in the 3 seasons of working with Jared."

Malik Barrington

RHP, Minnesota Twins

"Jared's great knowledge of the game, combined with his teaching abilities, made him a good fit to work with me.

He took the time to understand my strengths, weaknesses, and goals. His attention to detail and commitment to refining my pitching mechanics have been great in my growth as a pitcher.

One of the great qualities of Jared is his dedication to his players. He consistently goes above and beyond to provide support, encouragement, and constructive feedback.

When I worked with Jared I saw improvements in my pitching mechanics, velocity, accuracy, and understanding of the game."
