Player Development

5 Tool Performance

Our Mission

MISSION: Our mission is to understand each player that comes to 5 Tool with the goal of helping our athletes becoming a better player. We have a process for every evaluation and we can measure progress every step of the way in the 5 Tool Athlete Management System. (AMS) We built our own in house technology platform that tracks lessons, programming, metrics, qualitative observations and MLB comparatives, with age group breakdowns, from our instructors. This in essence, creates a regression analysis in multiple facets of the game, designed by our in house mathematicians. We use our development theories to optimize performance. We drive measured progress that is couched through the MLB lens while coupling it with precise metrics and group analysis. DEVELOPMENT PLANS & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS: The 5 Tool Player Development program is designed based on family needs and wants and is designed for the individual player who wants measured monthly progress reports. We are working with many sophisticated players at a young age so much of what we teach crosses over to other sports and life in general. Each series of documented lessons track quantitative and qualitative analytics. OUR ANALYSIS: We, as a team, will produce specific desired results in key statistical data points, that will drive short term gains and long term progress! Each program is tweaked weekly depending upon the commitment of the player, ability to honor feedback and to make adjustments, leading to personal growth and evolution. We are an education based team that prides our correlations on biology, biometrics, sequencing and patterning properly. OUR STRATEGY: Our high energy, experienced and knowledgeable coaches interpret the science into teachable mechanics which fosters baseball development, incrementally over time. We are able to present a historical perspective on a player at multiple snapshots in time via AMS, which is what HS, colleges and MLB players need for recruiting, scouting and development purposes. It's your career and we take it seriously.

The 5 Tools

Our Approach

Our process is to educate the player with respect to age and ability, using technology such as video and data analysis, coupled with guidance and insights that are analyzed by our instructors.

01. Discover

We learn about your player and will understand their goals and expectations.

02. Structure

We evaluate your player on skill sets, athleticism, habits, talent, mental toughness, sportsmanship and attitude.

03. Process

This is where we make a difference, we take the results of the data and implement changes to create future success. We take the time to development individual skill sets. This is the most challenging step as learning takes time.

04. Execution

Bringing it all together and performing to the best of your abilities, with confidence.

05. Monitor

This is the day after the game. Debrief on what worked, what didn’t work and challenges, what do you need to work on next?

Revolutionizing Baseball

Data Capture & Simulation Systems

capabilability to track analyze our athlete’s data through state-of-the-art technology. We have Hit Trax, and video analysis on site. Hit Trax, allows us to gather baseline assessment numbers, and store the data to track our athletes progress and success as they work through one of our personalized development programs. Along with Hit Trax, we use Rapsodo for the same cause for pitchers. We use video analysis for all our athletes particularly for our pitchers and hitters. It is an especially helpful tool for pitch design and allows our athletes to understand how their bodies and mechanics work.
