Congratulations to Keaton Haynes for his committed to play ball at the next level at Cuyagoga Community College! Keaton is a solid young man that loves the game and had a deep desire to continue to grow. He made the right choice going the junior college route, as that is the place to go for high schoolers looking to play, develop, and create opportunities that they couldn’t get from 4 year programs out of high school.

You could argue it’s the best route for most high schoolers - even those who are getting power 4 offers - because of the draft option and arguably higher focus on development than any other level. JUCO coaches are around to move guys on. Every other level of collegiate coaching staff is around to win so they don’t get fired. Makes the whole process different for high schoolers looking to play at the next level, especially since the implementation of the transfer portal.

Kudos for Keaton for having the courage to leave the nest and go more than 3 hours away from home to go to a solid program to play baseball. And Tri-C is most definitely a solid program. Guys, if you want to find quality options like Keaton just did, you have to expand how far you’re willing to travel. It will be good for you to get away, meet new people, become independent. It’s the heroes journey, and you might have to get away from momma for a short time to become the hero you say you want to be.

Congratulations to Keaton and the Haynes family! He’s been a pleasure to train and watch succeed on the field!

C**tJacobs has made some serious progress in our Player Development Program. 📈⚾️

Since May, C**t has added 10 lbs of body weight while making major improvements across his physical power profile:

Rotational Power: 230W → 305W (+33%)
Biceps Power: 166W → 196W (+18%)
Triceps Power: 232W → 313W (+35%)
Back Power: 184W → 219W (+19%)
Lower Body Power: 165W → 178W (+8%)

But development isn’t just about creating more power — it’s about being able to use that power consistently.

At the plate:

Average EV: 83.8 → 90.7 mph (+6.9)
Max EV: 92.0 → 96.5 mph (+4.5)
90+ mph contact: 9.5% → 54.2%

That last number might be the most important one. In May, 92 mph was essentially his ceiling. Now his median contact is around 91 mph.

That’s not just getting stronger and occasionally hitting a ball harder. Consistent power means a better swing, better timing, more barrels, and a greater ability to access that strength swing after swing.

C**t has added size, significantly increased his rotational and arm power, raised his exit-velocity ceiling, and dramatically raised the floor of his contact.

The goal isn’t one impressive number on your best swing. It’s making your best output become your normal output.

Develop the complete player.

11 weeks. Same body weight. A completely different power profile.

Hadley Russell came into our data driven Player Development Program with a clear objective: identify where she was leaving athletic output on the table, then train those limiting factors.

The results speak for themselves.

In just 11 weeks:
⚡ +23% overall power-to-weight
💪 +59% triceps power
💪 +37% biceps power
🔄 +22% rotational power
🦵 +22% lower-body power
📈 Lower-body power: 8th → 49th percentile
📈 Rotational power: 30th → 64th percentile

But getting stronger only matters if we can transfer it to the field.

Her TrackMan numbers did exactly that:
🥎 Peak Exit Velocity: 65.9 → 70.3 MPH
🥎 Median Exit Velocity: 61.6 → 66.5 MPH
🥎 65+ MPH contact: 25% → 67%
🥎 67+ MPH contact: 0% → 42%

And she did it while remaining 175 lbs.

That’s what we’re after. Not simply adding weight. Not chasing random numbers in the weight room. Build a more powerful, balanced athlete and teach her to express that power in her sport.

Assess. Identify the limiting factors. Build the program. Train consistently. Reassess.

This is player development. More than lessons.
