What if pitch counts aren’t actually telling you what matters? In this episode of the More Than Velocity Podcast, we sit down with Kyle Dupic, pitching coach at Wartburg College, to break down how he’s built a modern, data-driven pitching program that prioritizes health, performance, and real-game transfer.
Kyle shares how he moved beyond traditional methods—like pitch counts and bullpen-heavy development—and instead uses objective strength data, athlete feedback, and live competition environments to guide decisions.
We dive into:
- Why external workload (pitch counts, velocity) isn’t enough
- How to use internal data (strength, fatigue, recovery) to make better decisions
- The role of ecological dynamics in developing pitchers who actually perform in games
- How to build a fully integrated system between coaches, ATs, and strength staff
- Practical ways to implement technology without overwhelming your program
One of the biggest takeaways?
The best programs aren’t just developing velocity—they’re building athletes who can handle intensity, recover faster, and perform when it matters most.
