"Tread has simplified the process for me. After just a few weeks, I picked up a ball, threw it, and said, 'This is how I'm supposed to feel.' Baseball was fun again."
Mitch Keller
93-95 to 100 mph & MLB All-Star
"A year ago I was trying to keep my job… to now a dominating big leaguer. I just wanted someone I could trust to give me honest feedback, not just tell me what I wanted to hear. They looked at everything: biomechanics, pitch shapes, mechanics — and tied it all together."
Will Vest
From AAA to MLB Debut
"When I first came here, I was 88–90. And within just a few months, I was sitting 94–96 consistently. That was the first time I really started believing, like — I can do this again...and for the first time in years, I felt like a pitcher again, not just a rehab project."
Ben Heller
Back in MLB, 99 mph at 32
"That offseason I was like—I'm changing this. The arm action, the posture, the strength work... working with you guys, I finally became a better athlete and more efficient."
Pete Fairbanks
MLB Closer
"You guys spotted it right away - I wasn't bracing on my front leg. I was landing soft... I would've never found that out myself."
JT Brubaker
92-94 to 97+ & Opening Day Starter
"It wasn’t just you giving me a plan top-down. We looked at video together, gave feedback at every step — it was a journey we were on together. That trust and collaboration made the biggest difference."
Daniel Blair
87-89 to 97 & Signed
"I felt like I had a second chance, like I’d been given the keys to a Ferrari... and pitching pain-free this year was just so nice. You told me not to be scared of a little bit of metal in your body — that it’d move and feel explosive again. And you were right."
Luke Bard
From Hip Surgery to MLB
"That’s the big thing — no stone unturned. When we try something, it may not work, but at least we’re trying it. That’s the idea. I show up to pro day throwing 89-91… get to Tread a week early, you guys say, ‘Try a sinker’ — I throw it and it disappears at 94.5. Broke the catcher’s thumb. I had no idea I had that in me."
Bo Plagge
Club Ball to 97+ & Signed
