Brent Pourciau's Analysis

Road to 90

Personalized roadmap for Walker Craig

📊 The Overview
Alright Walker, 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 52th percentile. There are clear opportunities to improve, and targeting the right ones will get you to 90.
🤖 What The AI Analysis Tells Me
Walker, let me break this down for you. You're sitting at 81 mph right now, and our AI model — which has analyzed over 800 elite athletes — predicted 80.4 mph based on your physical metrics. You're actually beating that prediction by 0.6 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 53th 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 +1.8 mph
Current: 163.0" (69th %ile) Target: 178.0" (95th %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.
Broad Jump +1.7 mph
Current: 102.0" (71th %ile) Target: 112.0" (95th %ile)
Why it matters: Your broad jump is one of the best predictors of pitching velocity because it measures your ability to produce horizontal force — exactly what you need off the mound.
How we fix it: The Stride Excelerator is perfect for this — it trains the exact horizontal force production pattern you use in your delivery. Combine that with plyometrics, bounds, and the TopVelocity Sled for resisted stride work.
10-Yard Sprint +1.5 mph
Current: 1.7s (53th %ile) Target: 1.6s (83th %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.
These three priorities alone = +5.0 mph potential
⚙️ The Mechanical Side
The AI also identified some mechanical variables from your motion capture data. There's about +4.9 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.
🏆 Can You Hit Your Target?
Here's the best part — the math works. You need +9.0 mph to hit 90, and the improvements above give you +11.3 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 Left Lateral Broad Jump and Left Hip Abduction. Together, these account for about 0.1 mph of your velocity gap.
Left Lateral Broad Jump +0.1 mph
Current 79 in
Percentile 56th
Target 81.2 in
To Gain +2.2 in
Left Hip Abduction +0.1 mph
Current 45 °
Percentile 50th
Target 49 °
To Gain +4 °
🔧 Supporting Work
After that, it's about the supporting package: Left Hip External Rotation, Left Hip Flexion (mobility). These aren't the headline levers, but they raise the floor and make your mechanics easier to execute.
⚙️ Mechanical Focus
Mechanically, the key focus is Dominate Arm External Rotation Front Foot Strike and Dominate Arm External Rotation 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.
Dominate Arm External Rotation Front Foot Strike
Current Percentile 60th
🎯 Your Action Plan
Movement Cues:
"Shin down, leverage, drive — use the ground."
Training Priorities:
Mobility & Stability
Daily mobility work (hips, ankles, t-spine) + longer holds. Add single-leg stability for pelvic control.
🚀 What's Next
Hit these targets, re-test, and the system will update the next set of variables to chase. This is iterative — each evaluation narrows the focus as your profile improves. Plan to re-evaluate in 8-12 weeks.
