Brent Pourciau's Analysis
Road to 90
Personalized roadmap for David Towler
The Overview
Alright David, here's your Road to 90. You're currently sitting at 85 mph, which means you need about 5.0 mph to hit your target of 90. Your overall profile is strong — you're in the 79th percentile across all metrics. This is a refinement phase, focusing on the small gaps that add up to big velocity.
What The AI Analysis Tells Me
David, let me break this down for you. You're sitting at 85 mph right now, and our AI model — which has analyzed over 800 elite athletes — predicted 84 mph based on your physical metrics. You're actually beating that prediction by 1.0 mph. That means your mechanics are doing their job. You're not leaving velocity on the table from inefficiency.
Your mechanics efficiency is at the 57th percentile — that's solid, right around average for our database. You're neither leaving a ton on the table nor maximizing everything. This is a good sign because it means improvements in BOTH your physical profile AND your mechanics will translate to velocity.
Your Biggest Opportunities
Based on the AI analysis, here are your biggest opportunities to add velocity:
Vertical Jump
+1.8 mph
Current: 27.0" (63th %ile)
→
Target: 31.2" (93th %ile)
Why it matters: Vertical jump measures your explosive power — your ability to generate force quickly. This directly translates to how hard you can drive off the rubber.
How we fix it: The Impulse Ground Force Trainer develops your ability to create force into the ground explosively. Pair it with box jumps, depth jumps, and Olympic lift variations in the 3X Program.
Body Weight
+1.5 mph
Current: 182.0 lbs (50th %ile)
→
Target: 204.8 lbs (80th %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.
Rotational Power (Right)
+0.5 mph
Current: 692.0w (71th %ile)
→
Target: 992.2w (95th %ile)
Why it matters: Pitching is a rotational movement. Your ability to generate rotational force directly impacts velocity.
How we fix it: The Trunk Excelerator is designed exactly for this — it trains your trunk to generate and transfer rotational power. This is the secret sauce for velocity.
These three priorities alone = +3.8 mph potential
Can You Hit Your Target?
Here's the best part — the math works. You need +5.0 mph to hit 90, and the improvements above give you +5.1 mph of potential. This is achievable. It's not going to happen overnight, but if you commit to the training and stay consistent, 90 mph is absolutely in reach.
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. You've got some physical development to do, and the 3X Program includes the strength and power protocols to build that foundation while you're learning elite mechanics. 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 right shoulder external rotation and Body Height. Together, these account for about 1.7 mph of your velocity gap.

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