Baseball teaches some of the hardest lessons in sports — but the ones that cost pitchers their health, their confidence, or their career? Most of those are preventable. I’m AJ, a former D1 pitcher at UCF and 3-year pro in the MLB Partner League. Send me any videos of your son pitching — one clip or five, from the side, behind the mound, wherever you have them — and I’ll personally review every frame. You’ll get a full mechanics breakdown delivered to your inbox in 24 hours. I’m here to give you an honest picture of where he stands and exactly what to fix.
"Three coaches missed it over two seasons. AJ found the hip sequencing issue in the first paragraph. My son went from 5 walks a game to 1."
Ryan M.
Dad of 14-year-old — Bradenton, FL
"My son complained about elbow soreness for two months. Every coach said mechanics looked fine. AJ tied it directly to the follow-through. Orthopedic confirmed it."
Jennifer K.
Travel ball mom — son is 13, Venice, FL
"I was sitting 84–86 with no college interest. AJ found an early arm pattern capping my velocity. Six weeks later I was sitting 89. Committed to Florida Southern in January."

Why Mechanics Coaching Works
Same arm. Same pitcher. Completely different results.
Gerrit Cole posted a 4.26 ERA in Pittsburgh. Houston rebuilt his mechanics — arm path, hip-to-shoulder sequence, release point — and he went 20-5 with a 2.50 ERA and 326 strikeouts the very next season.

20-5. 2.50 ERA. 326 strikeouts. Same arm — fixed mechanics.
This is exactly what a PitchIQ report identifies in your son's delivery — before it costs him velocity, health, or a roster spot.
AJ Jones — D1 Pitcher. 3-Year Pro. Pitching Coach.
I pitched at UCF on a full athletic scholarship (2019–21), posting over 250 college strikeouts. I then played 3 years of professional baseball in the MLB Partner League with the Kane County Cougars and Chicago Dogs — sitting low-to-mid 90s at 6'5", 220 lbs. I rehabbed a UCL injury completely naturally, no surgery, no recurrence — giving me a first-hand understanding of arm health that most coaches never develop.
As a varsity pitching coach, my staff posted the lowest ERA in Florida and the best strikeout-to-walk ratio in the state — while setting the school record for wins in a season. Over 10 pitchers have earned college commitments in the last 3 years, including JUCO and Division I programs. Every PitchIQ report is reviewed by me personally — the same eye that has developed pitchers from travel ball through professional contracts.

Over about 3 months after implementing the top mechanics fix from the report. No new training program — just the right fix applied consistently.
"His velocity went from 71 to 76 over about three months. The hip rotation fix was the whole thing — we had no idea that was holding him back."
Mike D.
Dad of 13-year-old — Tampa, FL
"AJ flagged an arm path issue right away. My son went from 82 to 87 by spring — followed the drill plan for about 12 weeks. First D3 interest came that fall."

FAQ
Questions Before You Order
What kind of video do I need to send?+
Any phone video works. Shoot from behind the pitcher (catcher's view) and from the third-base side. Try to film at eye level or slightly below — no tripod needed. The more pitches across both angles, the better, but even a single short clip per angle gives us enough to work with.
How do I submit my video after I pay?+
Immediately after payment you'll receive an email with a simple upload link. Google Drive or Dropbox links also work — just reply to the confirmation email. If you have any trouble, email ajjones8080@gmail.com and I'll sort it out within minutes.
How long until I get my report?+
Within 24 hours of receiving your video — usually faster. I review every submission personally. Submit by noon and you'll typically have the report the same evening. It arrives as a detailed PDF with all scores, written analysis, and a prescribed drill plan.
Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee?+
I stand behind every report personally. If you feel I missed something or the analysis wasn't detailed enough, email me directly and I'll do a full second review at no charge.
Can I share the report with my pitcher's coach?+
Absolutely. Reports are designed to be coach-ready: clear scoring, plain-language explanations, and drill prescriptions a coach can implement at practice immediately. Many customers email the PDF to their travel ball or school coach the same night they receive it.
What ages do you work with?+
All ages. Youth packages (ages 8–14) use age-adjusted scoring and development-first drills. Competitive/adult packages are for high school, travel ball, JUCO, and college-level pitchers. If you're not sure which fits, email me and I'll point you in the right direction.
Send a short clip of your son pitching. I'll review his mechanics, flag what's hurting velocity and health, and send a full written report back within 24 hours.
From $129. I personally review the clip and send a full written report within 24 hours.

The Story That Built PitchIQ
I Tore My UCL. And Chose a Different Path.
Senior year of high school. The injury that ends careers before they start. Doctors said surgery. I said no — and decided to find out what my body could do if I rebuilt it the right way.
What followed was a full mechanical rebuild. Every phase of my delivery — balance, timing, arm path, hip loading — was examined and corrected. I learned more about pitching mechanics in that rehab year than in all my years before it combined.
I went on to pitch over 285 innings at the D1 level, three seasons of professional baseball, and retired in 2025 — never having surgery, never re-injuring that arm. That's not luck. That's mechanics.
01
Senior Year — UCL Strain
Faced the injury most pitchers never come back from. Chose natural rehab over Tommy John surgery.
02
Full Mechanical Rebuild
Broke down every phase of the delivery. Rebuilt from the ground up with arm health as the foundation.
03
D1 Career — 285+ Innings
FAU → SCF → Jacksonville → UCF. Competed at full velocity without missing time to that arm again.
04
3 Years Professional Ball
Kane County and Chicago Dogs. Still touching 91–94. Still healthy.

After the Playing Career
Coaching, Lessons & College Commitments
🏫
Varsity High School Pitching Coach
Spent two years coaching at the varsity high school level — working with pitchers at the age where habits are formed and mechanics either protect or destroy arms. Brought D1 and pro-level standards to a high school environment.
🎯
Private Pitching Lessons
Worked one-on-one with pitchers across all age levels through private instruction — breaking down film, correcting mechanics in real time, and building the kind of consistent delivery that holds up under pressure.
🎓
College Commitments
Multiple pitchers earned college commitments after working through mechanics and development with me. Not by throwing harder blindly — by moving better, staying healthy, and giving college coaches something worth recruiting.
🦺
Arm Health Is the Priority
Every lesson, every report, every recommendation starts with arm health. Velocity follows proper mechanics — not the other way around. I've lived that truth and build it into everything I teach.
Most pitchers never get honest, detailed feedback. Coaches are stretched thin. Film review is inconsistent. The analysis D1 programs take for granted is out of reach for most players — until now.
— AJ Jones, Founder of PitchIQ
Why This Exists
The Analysis Everyone Deserves
PitchIQ was built because the gap between what elite programs know and what most pitchers have access to is enormous — and it doesn't have to be.
Every report is reviewed by someone who has stood on the mound at D1 and pro levels, knows what mechanics look like under real competitive pressure, and has coached pitchers from youth ball to college commitments.
You don't need to be in Florida. You don't need to book a lesson. Submit your video and get the same standard of analysis in 24 hours.
