Remote pitching training is most useful when it connects three things: a program you can actually follow, a record of the work you complete, and a way to review what changes. A folder of drills answers “What could I do?” A development process needs to answer “What am I doing, why, and what will I measure next?”
TopVelocity offers an online 3X camp and a separate player-platform subscription. Both advertise training material; the player subscription is not limited to tracking tools. The online camp is a separately packaged camp offering that includes a year of app access. Compare the actual format and inclusions rather than assuming you must buy a camp to obtain 3X program material.
Choose how you want to train remotely
Explore the online 3X camp package, or compare ongoing app-based training. Review each option's format, inclusions and renewal terms before registering.
Which remote pitching training option fits your pitcher?
Use this decision guide before comparing individual drills or promotional results:
| Your starting point | First option to examine | What to check before registering |
|---|---|---|
| You want ongoing access to organized programs and development tools | Player Platform | Current training inclusions, required equipment and how the tools fit your existing program |
| You are choosing a camp format but cannot travel | Online 3X camp | Camp-specific delivery and inclusions, video requirements, overlap with app access and renewal terms |
| You want an in-person training experience and can travel | In-person 3X camp | Current dates, travel requirements and registration terms |
| You need diagnosis or clearance for pain or an injury | A qualified healthcare professional | A training platform is not a substitute for medical assessment |
A high-school or college pitcher juggling school, team practices and offseason work should compare the full week—not just the subscription price. Remote access solves a location problem. It does not create a throwing space, supervise every lift or make an overloaded schedule manageable by itself.
What does remote pitching training cost?
The public registration pages displayed these options on September 14, 2026:
| Option | Displayed price | Important distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Player Platform, monthly | $99 per month | App/platform subscription, not a camp registration |
| Player Platform, annual | $997 per year | Annual platform option; review the current checkout terms |
| Online 3X camp | $1,497 | Online curriculum and one year of app access |
| In-person 3X camp | $2,997 | In-person format in Covington, Louisiana, and one year of app access |
The camp page states that included app access renews at $997 per year after the first year unless canceled. Check the live camp registration terms and player-plan terms before purchasing. Pricing and offers can change; installment arrangements, promotional credits and special offers are not assumed in this comparison.
Start with the work you need supported. If organized programs and development tools meet that need, compare the platform plan first. If you are evaluating a camp package, compare its specific delivery and included services. Do not buy both simply because their names differ: check overlapping access and the current registration terms.
Both offers advertise remote coaching, training content and video-related tools. The public descriptions reviewed for this guide do not specify a different coaching-review schedule or identify every camp-only lesson compared with annual platform access. Base your choice on the inclusions actually documented for your selected registration, not an assumed weekly appointment or extra personal access.
What the Player Platform does—and what not to assume
The current player-platform page describes structured programs, video courses, progress tracking, MechanicsDNA video-based evaluation tools, MotionIQ video review, PitchDNA session records and a remote-coaching messaging area. It also describes ForceIQ assessments that use the ForceIQ sensor. A software module listing does not establish that every piece of hardware is included. See current platform features.
Keep three forms of help distinct when evaluating any remote pitching offer:
- Instructional content: lessons and demonstrations you can study and follow.
- Software feedback: recorded metrics, reports and automated outputs to interpret in context.
- Human coaching: a person's review, judgment or instruction, subject to the actual purchased service.
A messaging feature is not evidence of unlimited personal coaching, a guaranteed response time or a weekly live appointment. This guide does not promise those services. Likewise, a report or projected velocity is not a guarantee of a future pitch speed.
Decide how each tool would change a real training decision. If a metric has no defined measurement method or next use, collecting more of it may add complexity without helping you train.
Build your starting record before changing the program
Prepare a concise baseline rather than sending an unlabeled collection of clips. This checklist is an example of useful preparation, not an additional purchased evaluation or a required TopVelocity submission format:
| Item | What to record | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Baseball context | Age, position, team schedule and time until the season | Keeps the plan tied to the player's actual commitments |
| Current training | Existing throwing, lifting and practice schedule | Makes overlap visible before adding work |
| Velocity measurements | Date, device, testing setup and whether the number is a peak or a session summary | Makes comparisons easier to interpret |
| Video | Date, camera view, activity and relevant session notes | Gives a later comparison useful context |
| Equipment and space | What is available at home, school or the training facility | Helps identify practical limits before choosing exercises |
| Goal | A specific development question or performance objective | Gives the review a purpose beyond chasing a single number |
For age-based context, see our pitching velocity by age guide; use it alongside consistent measurement, not as a promise about your next result.
Record symptoms or restrictions separately and do not treat a performance baseline as medical clearance. If throwing causes pain or numbness, stop and seek appropriate medical assessment rather than trying to correct it through a remote article.
An example first-week setup—not a new throwing prescription
The example below organizes information and access. It does not add bullpen sessions, weighted-ball work, max-effort throws or strength loads to your program.
- Select the format. Read the current camp or platform description and confirm what you are buying.
- Set up the athlete's record. Keep the athlete's identity and development history distinct from the parent's billing information.
- Review the assigned material. Identify the program, its equipment requirements and how its schedule fits team activity.
- Record your starting point. Use existing, appropriately collected measurements and label relevant video. Do not add a max-effort test solely to fill a spreadsheet.
- Log completed work. Record what actually happened, including missed or modified sessions, rather than marking every assignment complete automatically.
- Set a review question. For example: “Am I completing the planned work consistently, and are my comparison measurements being collected the same way?”
This process is useful even before a velocity change appears. It separates an adherence problem, a measurement problem and a question about program fit; those are different issues and should not all be answered by adding more throwing.
How to judge remote pitching training progress
Review several kinds of evidence together: completed sessions, execution quality, comparable performance measurements and how the schedule fits recovery and competition. One unusually high reading is not the same as a sustained change under comparable conditions.
Keep a short log with the date, planned work, completed work, modifications and relevant observations. At the next appropriate review, ask what actually changed. If the test setup, device or throwing situation changed, note that before attributing a difference to training.
An athlete case study can show what happened to one person. It cannot tell you what every remote customer will achieve. When a story includes both camps and longer-term training, keep that context instead of crediting the entire result to one purchase.
Questions players and parents ask
Can I train remotely without traveling to Covington?
TopVelocity lists both an online 3X camp and app-based player registration. You can compare those options without choosing an in-person camp. The online camp is presented as online curriculum delivery with app-based remote coaching and video submission analysis. Online camp details.
Is an app subscription the same as a pitching camp?
They are separate listed options with different prices and formats, and they overlap in training content and app tools. Read the offer tied to the registration you select; purchasing a platform plan does not itself register you for a camp.
Do I need special equipment?
Plan on appropriate video capture, internet access and a suitable environment for the activities in your selected program. Review the program's actual equipment list before purchasing equipment. Do not assume a sensor, weights or throwing equipment comes with software access.
Will remote pitching training guarantee more velocity?
This guide makes no velocity guarantee. An organized process can be evaluated through the work completed and appropriately measured progress; your starting point, program fit and circumstances still matter.
What if my team already gives me a training program?
Resolve overlap before layering on another schedule. Your existing coach should know what work you are adding. Two programs that each look reasonable separately may be impractical when combined with games, practices and travel.
Choose your remote starting point
For ongoing access to organized programs and development tools, compare the player plans. If you are considering a camp but cannot travel, review the online 3X format and its current package details. Match the registration to the experience you intend to buy—not a promised mph gain or an assumption that the two offers have no overlapping material.
