The Individual Athlete

More Than 451 Pitchers Have Broken 90MPH at the Ranch

So, yes...we can help you throw harder.

And get noticed by coaches and scouts.

But our program goes wayyyyy beyond velocity...

  • Got arm pain? Now you can throw pain-free
  • Struggling with control? Now you can command the strike zone
  • Want better secondary pitches? Now your off-speed stuff can get strikeouts
How to Be a Better Pitcher -
What's the Secret?

It starts with the fact that the Elite Pitcher's Boot Camp is different from other baseball camps you've seen before.

You see, at The Ranch, we work with you as the unique athlete you are.

You never get lost in the crowd. Your training is never a "one size fits all."

Imagine How Good You’ll Get Because You Just Found The Best Program in the World

MLB Pitchers and Coaches Agree
There's No Place Like the Ranch!!

Hundreds of pitchers come from around the world to The Ranch every year.

One reason? No other place on earth has developed more 90 mph pitchers since 2003. More than 461 Ranch pitchers have broken the 90 mph barrier... over 157 have broken 94 mph... and 28 have topped 100 mph!

And over 122 of our students have been drafted by Major League Baseball.

Just think about those numbers!

  • 461 of our pitchers over 90 mph
  • 157 over 94 mph
  • 28 over 100 mph
This doesn't happen by accident!

It's the "Ranch Secret Sauce" and it's centered around a "Constraint Led Approach to Skill Development."

We follow a unique, proven process with 4 very specific steps:

  1. Assess: We thoroughly assess you as the individual athlete you are
  2. Categorize: We put you in the best category to address your needs
  3. Customize: We customize your program to maximize your progress, and...
  4. Prioritize: We give you a personal plan to focus on what matters for YOU, right now

Just like your family doctor, we examine you, then we prescribe.

Anything else is malpractice.

TESTIMONIALS
 

“The information provided opened the door to a path that has transformed my career and allowed me to achieve my lifelong dream of becoming a professional baseball player.”
- Trevor Bauer; MLB Pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cy Young Award Winner

"Ron develops velocity, but it's much more than that. He promotes arm health, control, command. He's also an excellent communicator, with a unique way of encapsulating information and making it usable."
- Brent Strom; Houston Astros Pitching Coach

"If I were still coaching baseball and I had pitchers who either threw a lot of innings and needed to build a bigger motor or did not throw a lot but needed to improve to compete, I'd definitely send them to Ron at the Texas Baseball Ranch."
- Jerry Weinstein; Colorado Rockies

“What a golden opportunity it would be for any pitcher to get this kind of quality instruction. I am jealous! I want to be a student at the camp!”
- Alan Jaeger of Jaeger Sports Academy and Trainer to Barry Zito & Mike Lieberthal

“The video analysis was wonderful but the breakdown of what was seen on video was superb. My son has been a technically sound pitcher, but the minor tweaks to his hips torque are what has really helped his velo. He now can “feel” what he needs during throwing motion. He can also self-diagnose what his body is doing when he loses velo or misses the strike zone.”
- Jubel Reed; parent of Josh Reed from Midland, TX

“The Texas Baseball Ranch is great for any pitcher seeking velocity, command and arm care. They will break down into every piece of your mechanics and make you a personalized plan. The most helpful parts of the camp were when Ron went through every possible disconnection in your wind up and coach Tompson’s drill instruction and explanations. The camp was amazing and very much worth the time and money. The thing is, you have to PUT IN THE WORK. Then you will see results. Thank you to Coach Ron and the TBR staff!”
- Noah Laney; Player from Poquoson, VA

THE THINGS YOU MUST GET RIGHT...

You Are Your Own, UNIQUE Athlete!

The true genius behind The Elite Pitchers Boot Camp is our PERSONAL approach.
How to Throw Harder
  • Develop a healthy, durable arm. (Most of the population has very little clue on how to do this and the conventional wisdom is horrible in this regard, this is one major reason arm injuries are at an epidemic proportion)
  • Develop a connected, efficient movement pattern. (Sounds simple but without a plan a vast majority of pitchers, even at the professional levels, are disconnected to some degree.)
  • Build a bigger motor. (Develop skill specific strength, specific to throwing a baseball, not powerlifting, body building or football strength.)
  • Train neuromuscular firing by utilizing the under load / overload concept.
  • Understand the Bernstein Principle and the critical nature of ‘Intent’. Maybe nothing is more important to velocity development than understanding these two concepts and how to apply them in your training.
  • Objectively measure everything you can from your warm up to your recovery.
  • Regular check ups and assessments to make certain you are on track.
How to Have a Healthy & Durable Arm
  • Do not ignore it or minimize it ANY pain or discomfort because there indeed is a reason for it.
  • Have a personalized and specific plan for the off season, preseason and in season because rest is not a plan.
  • Systematically prepare the soft tissue of the shoulder and elbow because rest is not preparation.
  • Develop strength in the prime movers so that the load will not be primarily dependent upon the arm, elbow or shoulder.
  • Create strength balance, structural alignment and physical symmetry because the body works as a synchronized unit.
  • Eliminate / reduce mechanical inefficiencies and disconnections.
  • Have a personalized and specific plan warm-up process.
  • Have a personalized and specific plan recovery process.
  • Monitor your sleep, your nutrition and hydration, all affect your ability to recover.
  • Create a competent team around you who know you, your goals, your workload and your constraints.

Lock In Your Progress with Tools and Support (Over $350 in Free Stuff)

Essentials #1:
The 21 Day Personalized Plan and USBs

After we analyze your pitching motion at the Ranch, we build you a hyper-personalized plan to get better!

We assess your body, its strengths and limitations. We capture your delivery on high-speed camera from multiple angles. We train you to become connected and in synch. Then we give you a step-by-step plan to follow in the first 21 days after you get home.

It’s like a “pitching autopilot system” you plant in your brain, so you don’t have to think. You just do it. The camp is only 3 days long, but this extra training stays with you for months and years. So you never stop improving!

Essentials #2:
The Durathro™ System

As my gift to you, I’m including a FREE 30-Day trial of Durathro™ Online Video Support and Video Coaching.

It’s just like a pro training program. Every drill, exercise, routine and explanation at the Ranch is videotaped for you. Then we put the videos online for you to see.

Why does this matter? Because it’s not just doing an exercise that makes you better, it’s how you do it.

The pro pitchers I have worked with — Trevor Bauer, Tyson Ross, Erik Johnson, CJ Wilson, Barry Zito, Scott Kazmir and Justin Verlander — are all huge “video” guys. They know that, if you want to be a horse on the mound, you have to know your delivery backwards and forwards.

When you’re at the Ranch, you’ll discover exactly how Durathro can become your new secret weapon!

Essentials #3:
TBR Connection Ball

Did you know? We invented connection ball training at the Ranch, in 2010.

Here’s why: More than 95% of pitching instructors try to improve mechanical efficiency with a cookie-cutter method, forcing you to fit their model of movement. But all that does is reinforce your flaws … and make you a “more-efficient” bad pitcher. That’s insanity!

Essentials #4:
Two TBR Weighted Balls

Forget what you may have heard about weighted balls. For more than 15 years, the Ranch has used them in over 150 training programs with nearly 10,000 pitchers. Used correctly they can unlock your potential and help you break the 90 mph barrier. Used incorrectly, they can wreck your am.

You’ll get the real story on how to safely boost your velo and your command with weighted balls. And we’ll send you home with an overload and underload ball.

Essentials #5:
TBR Durathro™ Sock

Here’s the final tool, which we co-invented with a renowned physical therapist. The Durathro™ Sock protects your arm and naturally develops sound movement patterns.

Use it in warm-ups and to build strength. It lets you get your throwing work in — anywhere, anytime, in any weather. It could be the biggest pitching breakthrough since the slider! And you’ll go home with one from the Ranch.

Still with me? Great.

If you’ve got the dedication and desire to become an unstoppable pitcher, my Elite Pitcher’s Boot Camp will give you everything you need to reach your goals. And …

You’re Protected By My Risk-Free “Texas-Size” Money-Back Guarantee

It’s simple: Come to the Texas Baseball Ranch. Put us to the test. Stay the entire first day. Absorb all the coaching, the personal attention, the fun, the whole TBR experience.

If, by 12:00 noon on the second day, you aren’t delighted with the Elite Pitcher’s Boot Camp for any reason — or no reason — just let us know. Your ticket will be cheerfully and immediately refunded. No questions asked. No hassles either. And we’ve never had to refund a pitcher. Ever.

REGISTER NOW FOR A BOOT CAMP

The only catch? Space at our next Elite Pitcher’s Boot Camp is strictly limited to the first 32 pitchers who apply and are accepted. That’s to make sure every athlete gets the same amount of “hyper-personalized” individual training that we’re famous for.

Once we hit our limit of 32 applications, the doors slam shut and you’ll have to apply for the next Boot Camp … if there’s room.

If you’ve got a love of baseball and pitching … a burning desire to improve … and you’re not afraid of hard work, you’re a great candidate for The Elite Pitcher’s Boot Camp. We’d love to have you aboard.

One more thing. If you live nearby or you’re visiting Texas, please stop by the Ranch and say hello in person! You’ll find us at:

5451 Honea-Egypt Rd.
Montgomery, TX 77316.

Please respond today. You’ll be glad you did.

See YOU at the Ranch!

At The Texas Baseball Ranch®...

  1. Paradigms matter. An incorrect or incomplete paradigm can bring growth and development to a screeching halt while the right one can accelerate the learning 10 fold.
  2. The Hyper-Personalization of Programing is Far Superior to the standard One Size Fits All Program.
  3. When it comes to motor skills like pitching a baseball, the Bernstein Principle, the central nervous system and motor learning RULE.
  4. Assessments and Awareness are key. Knowing EXACTLY where you are now is absolutely invaluable in designing the right path forward.

Lots of pro scouts will look you right in the eye and tell you that velocity can NOT be taught.
"You either have it or you don't," they say.
But what they really mean is THEY can't teach velocity.
At the Texas Baseball Ranch®
we teach velocity every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my son “elite” enough to attend the Elite Pitchers Bootcamp?

To us, elite is a mindset not a skillset. With that being said, if your son truly wants to maximize his potential and play at the highest level possible, this is the camp for him.

Are there housing accommodations on site for players?

No, we do not have housing accommodations on site. However, we do have a couple of hotels we work with. Once you get registered, you will receive a confirmation email. In that email, you will find the discount code for the week/weekend you will be attending.

Are there hotels nearby?

Yes. Once your registration is received, you will receive a confirmation email that includes hotel information along with the discount code for the week/weekend you will be attending. If you’d like the information prior to registration, please give us a call at (936) 588-6762 and we will be happy to help you. There are also RV sites nearby if you are using that mode of travel.

What is the closest airport to Texas Baseball Ranch®?

The closest airport to us is Bush Intercontinental (IAH). It is approximately 45 min away from The Ranch. If you like to fly Southwest airlines, you’ll have to fly into Houston Hobby (HOU). That airport is approximately 1hr 30min depending on traffic.

Are meals included in the fee?

No. The fee includes your training and equipment. Having hosted these camps for over fifteen years, we’ve realized that getting away during lunch on Day 2 is both physically and mentally helpful for the athletes due to the intensity of the camp.

How much individual attention will my son get with 32 players in the camp?

For most of the camp (aside from group lectures and warm-ups), your son will spend the majority of his time in a small working group of 6-10 athletes of a similar age. The smaller group allows for personal attention while at the same time providing high energy that fosters skill development. This is critical to us because we specialize in the hyper-personalization of training programs. This is why we say that we have the energy of a big camp matched by the functionality of a small one.

Are parents allowed to stay and watch?

Yes! Not only are parents allowed to stay, they are encouraged to stay. There is a lot of information shared over the three days and a second set of eyes and ears are extremely valuable once you return home. We may know pitching, but you know your son and we will work as a team to get him to the next level.

Can my son really gain velocity in a 3-day camp?

We’d love to say it is as easy as show up, we sprinkle some pixie dust on his head and velocity gains will be automatic. If it worked like that, we’d be able to charge double and we’d be sold out years in advance. Here’s what we can tell you. It is common at each camp to have over 50% of the campers improve velocity in just three days because of several factors: The pain in their arm is significantly reduced thus eliminating their fear and allowing them to throw harder, they improve a disconnection in their delivery which allows them to link up the delivery and throw harder, they learn what intent is and how to use it, they learn how to get properly warmed up or a combination of several of these factors. All of these things allow for velocity increases in just 3 days. However, the goal of the camp is to give you the information and tools that if applied and diligently worked on will give you velocity increases on average of 4-6 weeks.

What age do you have to be to participate in one of the events?

12 years old and up. If you have an athlete that is close to turning 12, please call the office at 936-588-6762 for availability. If you have an athlete 12 or under, we encourage you to attend our Youth Pitching Camp. If you’d like to receive information on that event, please email us at info@texasbaseballranch.com.

My son’s arm is not quite 100%. Should he wait until it feels good to come to the camp? We don’t want to waste our money if he can’t take full advantage of the camp.

If your son can throw 2 pitches from his delivery, then he needs to be here. Most people come to the Ranch to improve velocity. We understand that and we’re really good at it, but we are also world class at improving arm health and durability. With that being said, we have protocols in place to allow a young man with arm issues to maximize the throwing stations during the camp. As long as he’s not under a doctor’s orders to not throw, The Texas Baseball Ranch® is exactly the place he needs to be if he’s having some arm issues. If you want to discuss your particular situation, please give us a call. We are here to help guide you in making the best decision for your son.

Why is this camp so much more expensive than other pitching camps?

This answer may come across sounding arrogant but having done these events for over 15 years, we simply are the Gold Standard, the luxury model if you will. We are biased, believing we are in a class by ourselves. We have a system that works. We put on an amazing event that has the best interest of the athlete and his family at heart. We know you are making a significant commitment of your time and resources, so we make sure you experience a first-class event.

How can my son best prepare for the camp?

In order to maximize your time at The Ranch, it would be beneficial if you were to come with a solid throwing foundation (3 to 4 weeks of throwing at least 3 times a week). However, we realize that is not always possible so don’t let it stop you from attending one of our events. We will adjust to your current foundation. Simply let us know of any special circumstance and we will make the necessary adjustments.

What attire/equipment does my son need to bring?

This is pretty simple. You really only need to bring a baseball glove and baseball cleats. Athletes also often bring a water jug or water bottles however we do have water onsite. There are also several convenience stores nearby to purchase drinks. As far as attire, dress to the weather. Portions of the camp will be held outdoors, and the indoor stations are in non-climate-controlled buildings. Baseball pants/uniforms are not required. Typically, athletes will wear shorts and t-shirts with an extra layer for the colder months.
