About National Pitching – Tom House Sports
At National Pitching, we work with pitchers and rotational athletes to help them throw faster, stay injury-free, and get in the strike zone consistently. The most important thing athletes, parents, and organizations should know about the National Pitching program is that it is a health-first performance program designed to help pitchers improve their game. We are one of the most respected and advanced pitching programs in the nation. Led by Tom House, PhD, and an advisory board of specialists, we are continually updating our program based on scientific studies and research about how and when to pitch, as well as how to maintain the right physical and mental condition to be a successful pitcher.
Our certified coaches have trained over 1,000 Major League Baseball pitchers with measurable results and success. Each year, we train over 5,000 athletes with hands-on customized instruction to help them improve and stay injury-free.
Using cutting-edge scientific research and proven training methods, we address all aspects of your athletic development to help you safely progress in the game. Today, many pitchers injure themselves due to poor mechanical patterning and conditioning programs that aren’t specifically designed for rotational movements. Unfortunately, some of these injuries are beyond rehabilitation. What’s different about the National Pitching program? We’ve developed training methods and processes that address the unique needs of pitchers and rotational athletes.

A Health-First Approach to Pitching Development
National Pitching takes a health-first approach to player development. Our program is designed around the unique demands of pitching and other rotational movements, with training methods that address both performance and physical preparation. Rather than focusing only on throwing harder, National Pitching considers how mechanics, conditioning, movement, recovery, and mental preparation work together to help athletes develop as complete pitchers.
This approach helps pitchers develop more efficient pitching mechanics, improve throwing velocity and consistency, build physical preparation for rotational movement, and support long-term arm health and durability. It also helps athletes develop the physical and mental skills needed to compete while following training that fits their individual needs.
National Pitching works with athletes at different stages of development, from young pitchers learning the fundamentals to advanced players pursuing higher levels of competition. The goal is not simply to make athletes better pitchers today, but to give them the knowledge, skills, and training habits needed for continued growth throughout their careers.
