From 88 MPH to MLB Debut in 4 Years
Tread has simplified the process for me, making it easier to understand and focus on the areas I need to improve.
The personalized assessment helped identify my strengths and weaknesses, and they developed a tailored program to keep me healthy, strong, and in the right positions during my delivery. I raised my average velocity nearly 2 mph, touching 100+ mph for the first time, upgraded my arsenal (adding a sinker, cutter & sweeper) and had my best season to date.
In an industry where some athletes might feel hesitant to share their struggles with their coaches, Tread offers a supportive environment where I know they have my best interests at heart. Their commitment to helping me overcome challenges is one of the biggest reasons I love Tread Athletics.

I first found Tread Athletics on Twitter. Being new to pitching as a high school senior [former catcher], I knew I had to do something different. At first, I was 160 lbs sitting 87-88, and after four months I was 180 lbs and touching 94. Ben and Tread gave me the programming and guidance that allowed me to get up to 195lbs and 93-97 mph as a college freshman. I was then drafted by the Royals in the 17th round at 19 years old after my first year as a pitcher-only. During my first year of pro ball, I hit 99 mph.

I started as a HS kid at 6'5" 175 lbs throwing 86-88 mph (occasionally touching 90-92) and after about a year of working with Tread I was 215 lbs throwing 95-98 mph and got drafted by the Brewers in the 2nd round. TreadAthletics has made a huge impact on my baseball career and helped me get to where I’m at today." [2024 Update: Kelly is now a top prospect with the Rangers]

”When I graduated college (undrafted) I was 87-90 touching 91-92. Within 6 months of training with Tread I was consistently 93-96 mph. I had the opportunity fulfill a lifetime dream of playing professional baseball by signing with the St. Louis Cardinals. Tread helped me reach my full potential in baseball and I wouldn’t have made it to where I did without them.”

”I had the work ethic and the discipline - I just needed a plan of attack. After joining Tread, I went from sitting 89-92 to 92-96, topping 97. I won Big East pitcher of the Year and 2nd Team All America Honors - and I was drafted in the 8th round by the New York Mets. I couldn't have done it without Tread.”

"I went from 84-88 to 89-93 mph. This got me into the top 200 in the draft. If you're looking for a quick fix, then this isn't the program for you."

I felt like I had pushed my level of understanding to its max, so I needed someone else to help me create a plan. I went from graduating college undrafted, sitting 91-92 mph, to sitting 95-97 touching 98+ and signing with the Houston Astros.

Tread looks at everything and uses that information to construct a program that's completely individualized for you. Right before I was released, I was 88-90 mph...6-7 months later I was sitting 94-95 mph. Training with Tread definitely changed my career path.

I went from 174 to 191 lbs and from sitting 92-93 mph in 2019 to sitting 94-96 mph this spring. Ben and his staff are the most thorough and engaging coaches I have worked with. You can expect to get an all-encompassing program that, if you are willing to put in the work, will allow you to reach whatever goals you have as a player.
