Markell Dixon

Alright Markell, here's your Road to 90. You're currently sitting at 90 mph — you've already reached 90! Time to set a new goal. Your overall profile is solid at the 66th percentile. There are clear opportunities to improve, and targeting the right ones will get you to 90.

Markell, here's what jumps out at me — you're throwing 90 mph, but based on your physical profile, our AI model predicted you'd be around 80.3 mph. That's a +9.7 mph difference, which tells me your mechanics and motor patterns are already working in your favor. You're squeezing more velocity out of your body than most athletes with similar builds. That's a huge positive.

Your mechanics efficiency is in the 99th percentile — that's elite level. You're maximizing what your body gives you. At this point, adding velocity is about building a bigger physical engine because your delivery is already dialed in.

Based on the AI analysis, here are your biggest opportunities to add velocity:

The AI also identified some mechanical variables from your motion capture data. There's about +6.1 mph worth of mechanical improvements available. These are things like trunk rotation speed, pelvis rotation, and arm timing — exactly what the 3X Pitching Velocity Program is designed to fix. The Trunk Excelerator specifically trains that rotational sequencing, and the Stride Excelerator grooves the lower half mechanics. This is where the real velocity unlocks.

You've already hit 90 mph — congratulations! It's time to set a new target. Come back to the system and let's map out your path to the next milestone.

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.

The two biggest physical drivers for you right now are Body Height and left ankle dorsiflexion.

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

Mechanically, the key focus is Dominate Arm External Rotation Maximum External Rotation and Dominate Arm External Rotation Speed Maximum External Rotation. Most of the energy to the ball comes through the trunk, so trunk acceleration and sequencing are the big rocks to move.
