Brent Pourciau's Analysis
Road to 90
Personalized roadmap for Nick Huisman
The Overview
Alright Nick, here's your Road to 90. You're currently sitting at 82 mph, which means you need about 8.0 mph to hit your target of 90. Your overall profile is solid at the 63th percentile. There are clear opportunities to improve, and targeting the right ones will get you to 90.
What The AI Analysis Tells Me
Nick, let me break this down for you. You're sitting at 82 mph right now, and our AI model — which has analyzed over 800 elite athletes — predicted 81.1 mph based on your physical metrics. You're actually beating that prediction by 0.9 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 56th 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:
Lateral Broad Jump
+2.0 mph
Current: 156.0" (49th %ile)
→
Target: 166.0" (79th %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: 85.0 lbs (13th %ile)
→
Target: 103.0 lbs (43th %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.
Total Body Strength
+1.4 mph
Current: 420.0 lbs (58th %ile)
→
Target: 540.0 lbs (88th %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.
These three priorities alone = +5.2 mph potential
Can You Hit Your Target?
Here's the best part — the math works. You need +8.0 mph to hit 90, and the improvements above give you +9.3 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 Grip Strength and Left Lateral Broad Jump. Together, these account for about 1.8 mph of your velocity gap.

Supporting Work
After that, it's about the supporting package: Left Hip Abduction, Left Hip Extension (mobility), Left Y-Balance 2, Left Y-Balance 3 (power/stability). These aren't the headline levers, but they raise the floor and make your mechanics easier to execute.
