The baseball world is overflowing with tech: spin rate, vertical break, axis tilt, tunneling.
But while everyone is chasing decimals and design, something crucial is being ignored:
👉 The natural way each pitcher is built to move.

At #BaseballActionID, we call it #MotorBall — a revolutionary new player development model built on the science of Natural Individual Motor Preferences. This approach, based on ActionTypes principles, is now fully translated into the reality of the mound and nd now fully adapted for elite-level baseball performance.

A Story That Changed Everything

A Double-A pitcher.
An average changeup with 8–11 inches of horizontal break.
Serviceable, but nothing special.

Instead of chasing new mechanics or forcing a one-size-fits-all pitch grip, we asked a different question:

“What does his unique motor blueprint say about how he should throw this pitch?”

We adjusted just one thing: his grip — to match his natural movement preferences.
Not based on biomechanical averages.
Not based on what works for others.
But on what fits him.

The Result? Nothing Short of Shocking.

🔥 In the very next bullpen: immediate transformation.
🔥 In a live game just days later: his changeup jumped to 17–19 inches of horizontal movement.

Same pitcher.
Same arm.
No new mechanics.
Just one change — aligned with his body’s natural wiring.

That’s what happens when you stop guessing and start building from the inside out.

Why This Breakthrough Matters

This isn’t magic.
It’s the next evolution of pitch design — one that respects the human behind the metrics.

By integrating Motor Preferences, we unlock:

✅ Effortless velocity
✅ Filthy, late movement
✅ Improved command
✅ Sustainable, repeatable mechanics
✅ Confidence without overthinking

All by working with the athlete, not on the athlete.

What Is #MotorBall?

#MotorBall is not a rejection of analytics or anti-data!
It’s the missing human layer that makes your data come alive.

It’s the bridge between a player’s identity and their on-field performance.
Between what’s possible and what’s sustainable.

Whether you’re a coach looking for an edge, or a pitcher chasing elite movement — this is how you stop being average and start being filthy.
