Using DVS X-Ray to Guide Conversations About Velocity Gains
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.
Two Pitchers. Same Velocity. Which One Lasts?
Velocity alone doesn’t tell the full story. Two pitchers may throw the same mph, but the path they take to get there can mean the difference between health and breakdown. In this article, we explore how the DVS Arm Impulse Index reveals the efficiency, sequencing, and sustainability behind velocity—and how coaches and pitchers can use it to build lasting success on the mound.
Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene is set to undergo his second elbow surgery since entering professional baseball. After analyzing more than 4,000 MLB pitchers, this pattern has become increasingly familiar. In today’s game, elite velocity alone is not enough to sustain a career. There is a subtle mechanical window in the pitching delivery—often missed—that determines whether a pitcher’s body can support high velocity over time. Hunter Greene’s situation highlights a sequencing issue many pitchers face, and why correcting it could be the difference between short bursts of dominance and a durable career.
