BASEBALL PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (PDP)

Our Player Development Program (PDP) is our flagship program that is designed for those who are serious about playing baseball. The key to success is the ability to create a personalized program based on each athlete’s performance and capabilities in sports performance, pitching and hitting. Each PDP athlete is required to undergo a comprehensive assessment with our PDP Evaluation.

HOW IT WORKS

Our baseball PDP system is an 8-week program tailored to your specific player development needs based on the results of your PDP Evaluation. We use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure your baseline and your progress.

Each program will leverage technology and data to monitor your workload, output, and progress. Ascent Athlete’s staff works hand-in-hand to ensure no stone is left unturned.

We provide a semi-private training environment. This means you’ll receive consistent coaching and accountability while also taking ownership of your success and developing your personal training routines. When we said this was for serious players only, we meant it.

Ascent Athlete and its PDP members have seen over $2M in scholarship money as a result of continued enrollment and training. Our network includes 30 MLB organizations, over 50 Division 1 schools, and countless other local and national collegiate programs.

PDP is for athletes 13 years of age and older.

START YOUR ASCENT

Book a PDP evaluation by choosing a date and time below.

Plan Your Hitting Approach

Take advantage of our innovative approach to training, improving, and fine-tuning your strengths. You’ll receive a full hitting screen including a movement assessment, a collection of your swing and batted ball profile using technologies such as HitTrax and Blast Motion, a biomechanics assessment, and a breakdown of your swing. Our technological advantage has proven to help athletes progress faster than the average player.

Develop Your Pitching Strategy

With our individualized program, you’ll find everything you need to boost your pitching performance. Develop a strategic approach to pitching so that every move you make on-field is with intention. Our coaches use Trackman to measure velocity, command, spin rate, and other ball-tracking measurements. We also use Chronos high-speed, slow motion cameras to break down your pitching mechanics. You will never second-guess a pitch again.

Ascent’s Customized Training Process

Complete The Assessment

We start with an extensive evaluation. Pitchers are evaluated based on their throwing mechanics, pitch velocity, and pitch metrics. If you are a hitter, we analyze your bat speed, batted ball profile, and contact skills. This will help us create a custom and individualized program that will help you reach your long-term goals. Once we’ve completed your evaluation, we write you a personalized report based on your performance.

Start Your Customized ASCENT Training Program

We build a customized program that addresses every athlete’s individual needs and goals. Each day, you’ll train with your coach by your side to keep you on track over the duration of your training program. We also use our Trackman unit, HitTrax, Blast Motion and Chronos high-speed camera to measure your progress and make changes accordingly.

Optimal Training Schedule

One of our priorities as professional coaches is to help you find the right balance in your training. Our customized training programs are created to fit your schedule and at a pace that works for you. All our programs are built to push you to your limit, let you train for as long as you need, and access advanced athletic tools and technologies to follow and track your long-term performance.
