Premier Pitching Performance

Premier Pitching Performance is a baseball pitching training company headquartered on East Highway N in Wentzville, Missouri. It works with pitchers at every level, from youth players learning to throw properly to college arms and professionals, and the focus is on velocity, command and keeping arms healthy.

Training starts with an assessment at the Wentzville lab or online. Coaches look at mechanics, strength and how the body moves, then build a plan around what the data shows. It's a lot more specific than just throwing more bullpens.

Programs:

• Youth, high school, college and professional pitching
• Remote training for players who can't get to a facility
• In-person and online assessments
• Free training templates for each level
• Summer PCDL, a college-style summer league at Lindenwood University

Prices listed on their site:

• Remote Starter Package: $175
• Remote Premier Package: $225
• Team Starter Package: $565
• Team Premier Package: $690
• Training sets from $65

Assessments and one-on-one lessons are priced separately. Beyond the Wentzville HQ, there are training sites in Chesterfield, Fenton and Jackson in Missouri, Lake Forest and Mattoon in Illinois, Waukee in Iowa and Derby in Kansas.

Former Premier athletes include MLB pitcher John Means, and college coaches from Mizzou and SIU have recommended the program. For parents, the arm care side is the real draw: young pitchers who throw too hard, too often, without a plan are the ones who end up hurt.
