If you’re responsible for developing pitchers, this is a practical guide to applying DVS X-Ray data in real time. I explain how DVS Score (energy creation) and Arm Impulse (energy transfer) work together, then walk through three pitcher profiles to show how to adjust training focus, ramp workload appropriately, and pursue velocity gains with better leverage and lower risk.

A pitcher’s delivery isn’t just “mechanics”—it’s an energy system. The DVS Score shows how efficiently you’re using it, and the process in this article explains exactly how to improve it.

Velocity is trending up across baseball, but durability is trending the other way. The radar gun gives you the output—it doesn’t explain how the force was generated or whether it’s repeatable. By pairing the DVS Score with Arm Impulse metrics, pitchers and coaches can stop chasing peak numbers and start building sustainable velocity that holds up over a season and a career.

Preseason isn’t just about getting your arm in shape—it’s about getting your arm on time. When your forearm and spine are within 10° of parallel at foot strike, the arm can accelerate on a smoother, more efficient path (Acceleration Smoothness trending closer to 1.00). This article breaks down the flat-ground sequence that starts at the rear foot, improves Mass & Momentum, and helps pitchers protect the throwing arm while sustaining repeatable execution all season.

Velocity isn’t the full story. A 22-frame acceleration path reveals how pitchers build speed, protect arms, and sustain long-term performance.

Discover how pitchers can increase perceived velocity through better sequencing and extension. Learn the biomechanics behind making 90 mph feel like 95—without throwing harder.

Throwing harder isn’t about forcing velocity—it’s about allowing energy to transfer efficiently. Learn how momentum, sequencing, and biomechanics work together to maximize velocity and durability in pitching by riding the roller coaster effect.

Sustainable velocity isn’t just about throwing harder—it’s about optimizing mechanics and energy transfer. The Stretch Effect maximizes separation between the pelvis and upper body, allowing pitchers to generate more velocity without excessive arm stress.

In this article, we break down how Nate Reed, a College of Charleston commit, applies this principle to refine his delivery.

Logan Jarosz had the most mechanically efficient amateur pitching delivery I’ve ever seen. This post explores his natural motion, the challenges he faced in player development, and the importance of mentorship over technology in coaching. Discover why individuality in pitching mechanics matters.

Rediscover the lost art of the traditional windup—a pitching technique that once dominated baseball's golden era. In this detailed exploration, we delve into how this classic method could revolutionize pitching in the modern era, enhancing both performance and longevity. Learn why some of baseball's greatest Hall of Fame pitchers swore by this method, and why it still holds tremendous potential for today's high-velocity pitchers.

Kolby Allard’s early DVS Score as a high school pitcher provides key futuristic insights for MLB Organizations now almost a decade later.

In our ongoing commitment to understanding and mitigating injury risks in baseball, we've delved into the characteristics of the last 40 Tommy John (TJ) Surgeries entered into the DVS Baseball Injury Risk Model. These surgeries, affecting pitchers 25 years or younger, have provided valuable insights into the factors influencing throwing arm injuries in the sport.

47% of all starting pitchers in the 2022 MLB Playoffs fall into the high injury risk category. Which starting pitchers have the best and worst pitching mechanics?
