Brent Pourciau's Analysis
Road to 90
Personalized roadmap for Austin Simper
The Overview
Alright Austin, here's your Road to 90. You're currently sitting at 81 mph, which means you need about 9.0 mph to hit your target of 90. Your overall profile is solid at the 62th percentile. There are clear opportunities to improve, and targeting the right ones will get you to 90.
What The AI Analysis Tells Me
Austin, here's your reality check. You're at 81 mph, and the AI model predicted 81.9 mph based on your physical profile. You're pretty much right where you'd expect to be. This means you're efficiently converting your athleticism into velocity — no major mechanical leaks, but also room to grow both physically AND mechanically.
Your mechanics efficiency is at the 39th percentile — there's definitely room to improve here. This isn't bad news, though. It means that as we work on your movement patterns and delivery, you'll see velocity gains without even getting stronger. The 3X Pitching Velocity Program addresses exactly this.
Your Biggest Opportunities
Based on the AI analysis, here are your biggest opportunities to add velocity:
Total Body Strength
+1.4 mph
Current: 400.0 lbs (48th %ile)
→
Target: 483.6 lbs (78th %ile)
Why it matters: Strength is the foundation everything else is built on. You can't be explosive if you're not strong first.
How we fix it: The 3X Program includes a complete strength protocol — squats, deadlifts, rows, presses with progressive overload. The TopVelocity Sled adds sport-specific strength that transfers directly to your delivery.
10-Yard Sprint
+1.2 mph
Current: 1.6s (72th %ile)
→
Target: 1.5s (95th %ile)
Why it matters: Your 10-yard sprint measures acceleration — first-step explosiveness. Pitching is all about that initial burst of power, not sustained speed.
How we fix it: The TopVelocity Sled is built for this — resisted sprints that develop first-step explosiveness. The 3X Program includes specific sprint protocols to improve your acceleration.
Body Weight
+1.1 mph
Current: 198.0 lbs (73th %ile)
→
Target: 230.5 lbs (95th %ile)
Why it matters: Mass equals gas. Bigger athletes generally throw harder because they have more tissue to generate and transfer force. It's physics.
How we fix it: The 3X Program includes nutrition protocols for adding functional mass. Structured calorie surplus with adequate protein, paired with the strength training to make sure every pound you gain is useful.
These three priorities alone = +3.7 mph potential
Can You Hit Your Target?
Let me be honest with you — getting to 90 mph is a big goal. The improvements I've outlined give you about +6.1 mph, which would put you around 87 mph. That's a great interim target. The remaining 2.9 mph gap can be closed through consistent training, mechanical refinement, and maturation. It's going to take time and work, but it's doable.
My Recommendation
Based on everything I'm seeing here, here's what I recommend: The 3X Pitching Velocity Program is exactly what you need. This isn't just a throwing program — it's a complete system that addresses mechanics, strength, power, and motor learning all in one. Your mechanics efficiency score tells me there's velocity sitting on the table right now. The 3X Program will teach you how to sequence your body properly and transfer all that force into the ball. To accelerate your results, I highly recommend using the TopVelocity training devices that are built into the program: The Trunk Excelerator teaches you to generate and transfer rotational power through your core — this is where velocity lives. The Stride Excelerator builds explosive leg drive and proper stride mechanics, which is the foundation of the 3X approach. The Impulse Ground Force Trainer develops your ability to create force into the ground, and the TopVelocity Sled builds the specific strength patterns you need for a powerful delivery. These aren't gimmicks — they're tools designed to train the exact movement patterns that separate high-velocity pitchers from everyone else. Combine them with the 3X Program and you'll see results faster than training alone.
Your Top Physical Priorities
The two biggest physical drivers for you right now are Body Height and Total Body Strength. Together, these account for about 1.7 mph of your velocity gap.

Supporting Work
After that, it's about the supporting package: Left Hip Abduction, Left Hip External Rotation (mobility). These aren't the headline levers, but they raise the floor and make your mechanics easier to execute.
