Why VeloU?
Train With The Best in the Tri-State
VeloU combines everything you need to develop as a pitcher—mechanics, strength, arm care, nutrition, and more. Our team, facility, and app give you a complete system to train smarter, stay healthy, and throw harder—all in one place.
Our programs are built around the tools that matter—TrackMan, ArmCare, and Force Plates—to give you accurate, objective feedback. We monitor performance metrics regularly to guide your training and make real-time adjustments that move you forward. At VeloU, your progress is always measured, never guessed.
Work with coaches who’ve played and coached at the game’s highest levels. From college to pro ball, our staff brings real experience and proven systems that translate to real results. You’ll get honest feedback, clear direction, and coaching that’s fully invested in your growth.
Every athlete trains differently—and we build around that. At VeloU, your baseball training program is fully personalized based on your mechanics, strength levels, goals, and position. Whether you're a high school pitcher or a pro, we use testing, video analysis, and feedback to constantly update your plan so you’re always training with intent.
"I've trained at VeloU since I was 10. It helped me go from early development to becoming a 9th-round pick by the Dodgers."
"I started at VeloU in 9th grade, undersized and raw. Through refining my mechanics, adding strength, and becoming a better pitcher, I'm now throwing 98 mph and was drafted by the Rays in the 6th round."
"I came to VeloU right after I signed with the Rangers. Over the last three years I’ve seen my velo go from 87-88 to now topping 96-97."
Pitching Development
Build velocity, improve command, and stay healthy with pitching programs built around your specific needs. Every athlete at VeloU gets a personalized plan based on biomechanics, movement patterns, and training history—backed by data, not guesswork. Programs are routinely updated based on regular testing, feedback, and ongoing communication with your coach.
Strength Training

Every athlete gets a plan tailored to their training age, position, and goals—updated regularly based on testing data and performance feedback. Whether you’re trying to throw harder, move better, or stay healthier all season, this is where it starts.
Arm Care Training
Protect your arm and extend your career with VeloU’s data-driven arm care system. Our approach prioritizes injury prevention, recovery, and long-term durability — not just short-term fixes.

With consistent check-ins and updates, our protocols evolve with you to make sure your arm stays healthy and ready to perform.
Nutritional Guidance
Get the most out of your training with personalized nutrition plans built for baseball. Our team helps you dial in your meals, macros, hydration, and recovery strategies to match your workload and goals. Whether you’re in-season or off, we guide you on how to fuel for performance, maintain energy, and stay healthy long term—without overcomplicating the process.
Catching Development
Take control behind the plate with catcher-specific training that builds real in-game results. From receiving and blocking to transfers and throwdowns, every detail is coached with purpose. You’ll get a personalized plan based on video breakdowns, movement assessments, and performance testing—so your development isn’t left to guesswork. Train to lead the field, command your pitchers, and make every throw count.

"What I ended up getting out of VeloU Remote has been life changing at this point."
"Starting at VeloU when I was 13 was a game-changer. Their training and support helped me reach 94 MPH in high school and get drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers. The development I experienced extended beyond pitching, helping me grow both on and off the field."
"VeloU has been instrumental in my growth since high school. Their focus on throwing mechanics and strength development played a key role in my journey to the MLB. Over time, the consistent improvements and support have been crucial to my success on the mound."
