Book Your EvaluationFrom Underdog to Pro
The journey that inspired a mission to help every athlete reach their full potential
Our Mission
At PDP Athletics, we're dedicated to helping athletes reach their full potential and achieve their baseball goals. Our founder, Jake, wants to give every player the opportunity to transform into the player they can be.
From Underdog to All-American
Once considered the underdog of his high school team, Jake only had one college looking his way. After a year at a small Division II school and transferring to a junior college, he revamped his pitching mechanics and made a name for himself—becoming a record-setting All-American closer.
Rising Through Challenges
When injury hit and he was cut from a team, Jake didn't throw in the towel. He juggled a 19 credit course load and worked out in an underground parking garage to come back stronger. That grit got him to Florida State University, where he earned his Master's in Sports Management—even after COVID-19 disrupted his collegiate career.
Making It to the Pros
When professional opportunities didn't immediately come knocking, Jake took to social media to showcase his improved fastball. His persistence paid off when Pitching Ninja shared his video, catching the Chicago White Sox's attention. Now with a professional contract, Jake's story proves that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible.
Jake's Lesson: Keep pushing. To all youth players and parents—remember this story, because with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible, even making it to the pros.

TRAIN WHERE PROS
GO TO GET BETTER
Proven training systems from MLB Strength Coach Allen Thomas and PDP Athletics—designed to help you get stronger, move better, and dominate next season.
The Problem
Every offseason, most players go back to the same cookie-cutter programs. Same lifts. Same drills. Same results.
Meanwhile, the gap between the good and the great keeps getting wider. At PDP Athletics, we built a program for the forgotten pros, the grinders chasing their next contract, the ones who can't afford to waste a single rep.
Most offseason programs are one-size-fits-all. They don't know your body. They don't track your movement. And they don't care about your goals—just your attendance.
That ends here.
The PDP Solution
We start by baselining your body—not guessing. Your offseason plan is custom-built from your unique metrics:
Full Mobility & Strength Assessment
Baseline your body with comprehensive testing—no guessing, just data.
Biomechanical Analysis
Advanced assessments with Uplift Labs, TrackMan, and HitTrax technology.
Personalized Programs
Custom throwing and lifting programs built around your unique metrics.
Weekly Coach Check-Ins
1-on-1 sessions to track progress and adjust your training plan.
Performance Tracking
Measure velocity, power, and movement quality throughout your program.
