Brent Pourciau's Analysis
Road to 90
Personalized roadmap for Mark Trimble
The Overview
Alright Mark, here's your Road to 90. You're currently sitting at 78 mph, which means you need about 12.0 mph to hit your target of 90. Your overall profile is solid at the 61th percentile. There are clear opportunities to improve, and targeting the right ones will get you to 90.
What The AI Analysis Tells Me
Mark, let me be real with you — this is actually exciting news. You're throwing 78 mph, but based on your physical metrics, the AI model says you should be around 81.1 mph. That 3.1 mph gap? That's not a problem — that's POTENTIAL. It means once we clean up your mechanics and movement patterns, you've got velocity sitting there waiting to be unlocked.
Your mechanics efficiency is at the 24th percentile — and honestly, this is where the opportunity is. Your physical tools are there, but your delivery isn't converting them efficiently. The good news? Mechanical improvements often come faster than physical gains. Once we optimize your sequencing and timing, you'll see immediate velocity jumps.
Your Biggest Opportunities
Based on the AI analysis, here are your biggest opportunities to add velocity:
Lateral Broad Jump
+2.0 mph
Current: 148.0" (27th %ile)
→
Target: 158.0" (57th %ile)
Why it matters: This measures your lateral power — critical because pitching involves a massive lateral push off the rubber before you rotate.
How we fix it: The Stride Excelerator trains this lateral drive pattern specifically. Combine it with lateral bounds and the TopVelocity Sled for lateral resisted work.
Right Grip Strength
+1.8 mph
Current: 100.0 lbs (32th %ile)
→
Target: 110.0 lbs (62th %ile)
Why it matters: Grip strength is the end of the kinetic chain. All that force you generate has to transfer through your hand to the ball.
How we fix it: Farmer carries, dead hangs, wrist work, and specific grip training in the 3X Program. This also helps with spin rate and command.
Left Grip Strength
+1.8 mph
Current: 110.0 lbs (58th %ile)
→
Target: 125.0 lbs (88th %ile)
Why it matters: Grip strength is the end of the kinetic chain. All that force you generate has to transfer through your hand to the ball.
How we fix it: Farmer carries, dead hangs, wrist work, and specific grip training in the 3X Program. This also helps with spin rate and command.
These three priorities alone = +5.6 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 +10.1 mph, which would put you around 88 mph. That's a great interim target. The remaining 1.9 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 Right Grip Strength and Left Lateral Broad Jump. Together, these account for about 2.6 mph of your velocity gap.

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