Why “time-based rehab” isn’t enough
The role of strength metrics in return-to-throw decisions
How poor communication between coaches, PTs, and trainers leads to injuries
The biggest mistakes still happening in arm care today

What actually drives pitching performance, and why are so many players still getting it wrong?

In this episode of the More Than Velocity Podcast, we sit down with legendary pitching coach and biomechanics pioneer Tom House to break down the future of pitching development.

From his early work with elite athletes to today’s cutting-edge tools like Mustard and ArmCare, Tom and Weston Lombard of Mustard share how the game is evolving beyond radar-gun readings—and what players, coaches, and parents need to understand to build durable, high-performing pitchers.

We dive into:

Why velocity alone is misleading
The missing link between mechanics and strength
How data is changing player development (and where it falls short)
The concept of “windows of trainability”
Why throwing strikes might be the most underrated skill in baseball

This is all about performance, durability, and actually developing pitchers, not just velo.

Why Data Alone Won’t Make You Better (And What Actually Does) with Coach Ryan Christenson

Episode 82

Wednesday, April 15, 2026 • Duration 29:15

In this episode of the More Than Velocity Podcast, we sit down with pitching coach and facility owner Ryan Christensen to break down how real performance gains happen—beyond just collecting data.

Ryan shares his journey from high school coach to training under Tom House and the National Pitching Association, and how that foundation shaped the way he develops athletes today.

We dive into how he integrates ArmCare into a complete system—using testing, training, and coaching intuition to guide workload decisions, identify fatigue, and build stronger, more resilient pitchers.

This isn’t about chasing numbers. It’s about building a process that actually translates to performance.

Inside a Smarter Pitching System with Pitching Coach Kyle Dupic

Episode 81

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 • Duration 32:16

What if pitch counts aren’t actually telling you what matters? In this episode of the More Than Velocity Podcast, we sit down with Kyle Dupic, pitching coach at Wartburg College, to break down how he’s built a modern, data-driven pitching program that prioritizes health, performance, and real-game transfer.

Kyle shares how he moved beyond traditional methods—like pitch counts and bullpen-heavy development—and instead uses objective strength data, athlete feedback, and live competition environments to guide decisions.

We dive into:

Why external workload (pitch counts, velocity) isn’t enough
How to use internal data (strength, fatigue, recovery) to make better decisions
The role of ecological dynamics in developing pitchers who actually perform in games
How to build a fully integrated system between coaches, ATs, and strength staff
Practical ways to implement technology without overwhelming your program

One of the biggest takeaways?

The best programs aren’t just developing velocity—they’re building athletes who can handle intensity, recover faster, and perform when it matters most.

Why Ice Fails (and What Works Instead) with Marc Pro’s Tim Desmarais

Episode 79

Wednesday, March 18, 2026 • Duration 40:32

Recovery has long been misunderstood in baseball—and the old playbook might be holding athletes back.

In this episode of the More Than Velocity Podcast, we sit down with Tim Desmarais from Marc Pro to break down what real recovery looks like. From the science behind electrical muscle stimulation to the myths around ice, anti-inflammatories, and “more is better,” this conversation challenges conventional thinking.

We dive into:

Why ice may actually slow recovery instead of helping it
How muscle stimulation improves blood flow and waste removal
The difference between TENS units and true recovery-based NMES
When (and how) to use recovery tools without interfering with adaptation
The role of sleep, nutrition, and movement in a complete recovery system
How elite athletes are using these tools before, after, and even during competition

The big takeaway? Recovery isn’t about shutting the body down—it’s about supporting what the body is already trying to do.

If you want to throw harder, stay healthier, and extend your career, this episode will reshape how you think about recovery.
