Most pitchers lose their edge during the season. We built something different. Six athletes. One mound. Rapsodo and radar throughout the program — real data, real progress. You apply. Coaches decide.
This isn’t a clinic. It’s a program you earn your way into. Three steps — only the first is open to the public.
By appointment starting May 1, 2026. One pitcher at a time, on the mound, with Coach Jon and BVSA staff. Rapsodo and radar capture a real baseline — velocity, spin, command, mechanics.
After your evaluation, coaches review every report and choose the Founding Class. If you’re a fit, you’ll receive a personal invitation. If not, we’ll tell you exactly what to work on and when to come back.
Four weeks. Two sessions per week. Lower-half mechanics, upper-half mechanics, throwing program with bullpens, shoulder maintenance. Rapsodo and radar throughout. Every rep accountable.
Built around what keeps pitchers healthy and consistent through a long season.
The base of every pitch. Hip-shoulder separation, drive leg loading, stride direction. Where velocity is actually built — and where most arm injuries start.
Arm path, glove side, finish. Cleaning up the sequence so velocity transfers without leaking — and the same motion shows up on every pitch.
Structured ramp-up, intent throws, and live bullpens. Rapsodo sessions through the program for pitch design — spin axis, efficiency, induced break — plus radar checkpoints to track velocity gains.
The work that lets you finish the season as strong as you started. Cuff work, scap stability, and recovery protocols built from nine pro seasons of staying on the mound.
Bronx native, Stamford resident. Nine seasons in the Phillies and Mets organizations plus top independent ball — including the 2015 Caribbean Series with Team Puerto Rico. Multiple All-Star selections in MiLB and the Puerto Rican Winter League.
Now four years into coaching, Jon brings the preparation habits, mechanical feel, and competitive edge of a career pro into every session — built for athletes who actually want to get better, not just get reps.
Not a 30-kid clinic. Six pitchers per Founding Class — every athlete gets meaningful mound time and direct coach feedback every session.
Rapsodo and radar used throughout the program — velocity, spin rate, spin efficiency, induced break, command zones. Real data when it matters, not a guess.
You’re not getting a parent volunteer or a college student. You’re getting nine seasons of Phillies, Mets, and Puerto Rican Winter League experience.
Any pitcher age 10 and up — beginner to travel-team to high-school varsity. The evaluation is open to everyone. The Founding Class is selected by Coach Jon based on what he sees that day, not based on level coming in.
You’ll get one-on-one mound time with Coach Jon and BVSA staff. We capture a real baseline using Rapsodo and radar — velocity, spin rate, induced break, command, plus mechanical video. Every athlete leaves with a written report regardless of selection.
You’ll receive a personal note from Coach Jon explaining exactly what to work on and when to come back. Most pitchers who don’t make it the first time aren’t far off — and we’d rather you train for the next class than buy your way into one you’re not ready for.
Because what works for a 12-year-old with a clean delivery isn’t what works for a 16-year-old chasing 90. The evaluation lets us build the right group of six athletes — pitchers who’ll push each other, fit Jon’s plan, and walk out of June stronger than they walked in.
Rapsodo for spin rate, spin efficiency, spin axis, and induced break. Radar for velocity. Mechanical video at high frame rate. We use Rapsodo at the evaluation and at structured checkpoints throughout the program — not on every single pitch — so the numbers we share are clean and actually mean something. You’ll get a written report after the evaluation and a session-by-session summary if you’re in the Founding Class.
Full refund if cancelled 48+ hours before your appointment. Inside 48 hours we’ll do our best to reschedule you. Email info@bvacademy.com or call (203) 968-2872.
Four weeks starting June 1, 2026. Two sessions per week at BVSA’s 40,000 sq ft facility in Stamford, CT. Selected athletes will receive an invitation with full schedule and onboarding details.
Six spots. One Founding Class. Evaluations open May 1 — by appointment only. The athletes who get in walk into June with a real baseline, a real plan, and a real coach.
