Pitching Velocity Development, From the Ground Up

GUD Baseball builds faster, healthier pitchers with tech-supported development programs. We measure movement, strength, force and the delivery, then build the plan around the one thing capping your velo. In 2026, our high school pitchers averaged 6.2 mph of velocity progress. 500+ athletes trained since 2019, 200+ throwing 90+ MPH, 150+ Division I scholarships.

How do pitchers gain velocity?

Most pitchers are told to make a mechanical change their body can't make yet. Our assessment finds the strength deficits and mobility limits behind it, so every block of the program traces back to a measurement.

How does remote pitching training work?

Wearable sensors ship to your door. We run a movement and strength screen on both sides (22 measures), show you what's capping you and the path to fix it, then retest and rewrite the program. 6-month and 1-year athletes also get a PitchLab Pro data account, so every bullpen thrown at home lands in our dashboard.

Who coaches at GUD?

Founder DJ Snelten pitched 13 years of pro ball across 8 MLB organizations and went from sitting 89–92 to 97–102+, with a lifetime PR of 102.5 mph. Every pitching coach on staff played professional baseball. Strength and conditioning is run by John Snelten of Prime Athletics.

Remote, Illinois or Michigan: which fits?

Remote nationwide, in-house in Grayslake, IL (Lake County) at Prime Athletics, and at GUD Michigan with Max Bain.

Frequently asked questions

What makes GUD different from every other velocity program?

Most programs hand you a template and call it personalization. We measure first. Through wearable sensor partnerships we find the strength deficits and mobility limits stopping you from making the mechanical changes you've been told to make. You get a diagnosis, then a plan built around it. Remote since 2019, 500+ athletes in.

I've been sitting at the same velo for over a year. Is it too late?

No, but the longer you train without a data-driven plan, the more time you waste. Changes show up within weeks because the program reacts to what your body is actually doing, not what a template assumes.

Will velocity training wreck my arm?

Arm health is tracked weekly, not assumed. Mobility and force production data flag overload before it becomes injury, and your throwing, training and arm care plan are written together.

What does GUD cost?

We don't publish remote pricing because the program is built per athlete and the hardware is included. Wearable sensors ship with every remote program.

Is there real infrastructure behind GUD?

Coaches who all played professionally, in-house facilities in Illinois and Michigan, wearable technology through exclusive partnerships, and a remote program running since 2019. 500+ athletes trained, 200+ arms sustaining 90+ MPH, 150+ Division I scholarships, 50+ pros.
