The device allows athletes to practice grip mechanics safely and repeatedly
Background
This project was inspired by real-life experience. After Aaron underwent elbow surgery, I began studying how pitchers rebuild their mechanics and regain consistency on the mound. During that process, it became clear that many players lack a simple way to repeatedly train grip, spin, and release mechanics without putting excessive strain on the arm, primarily the elbow and shoulder.
Together, we began developing a training system that allows pitchers to safely practice the feel of different pitches, improve spin efficiency, and build muscle memory. Our goal is to create a tool that not only helps Aaron continue his development but also gives other pitchers—from youth players to college athletes—a reliable way to improve performance while protecting their arm health.
Understanding the vision of the Prototype is key for its success during its development phases.
Development Story
The A.M.E.S. spin trainer began as a prototype designed to help pitchers develop spin mechanics without repeated throwing.
Through obeservation and testing, the device evolved into a training system capable of teaching grip pressure, spin generation, and release consistency.
The long-term vision is to intergrate smart baseball technology to provided real-time performance analytics.
