Increase Their Pitching Velocity.


About Us

I’m Josh Gessner, Co-founder of ThePitcherLab.• Former Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers• Threw 98mph and now training to 100mph.• Overcame years of struggles with the "yips" to regain confidence and performance.


I’m Albertus Barber, Co-founder of ThePitcherLab.• Threw upper 90s velocity and pulled down over 100 mph.• Played up to AA level, gaining firsthand knowledge of high-level competition.• Overcame 9+ years of injuries and challenges


We don’t hand you off to any coaches. You work directly with us.


The Biggest Challenges Pitchers Face:


1. Lack of Attention to Details
You might have talent, but without a structured system and program - you’re leaving so much on the table.
2. Plateaued Velocity
Many pitchers plateau because they lack personalized training and a structured program customized for them and their needs.
3. Generic Advice and Programs
Not all programs are created for YOU. Cookie-cutter solutions don’t work for unique pitchers.
4. No Daily Coaching or Accountability
Many programs leave you out to dry for days, even weeks.You’re left confused without any consistent feedback and guidance.
5. YouTube Advice:
Free videos can be helpful, but they aren’t structured into a cohesive program. You’ll spend more time figuring out what to do than actually improving.
6. Pitching Camps:
Camps can be fun, but without ongoing coaching or individualized plans, any improvements you make are temporary.
7. Sporadic In-Person Visits:
If you’re only getting 1-2 in person sessions / week - you’re losing out on a significant amount of progress you could be making.


ThePitcherLab is designed to solve all of these problems.


ThePitcherLab is set up in a way that it solves all of these problems. It is not a coincidence that it does so.It is specifically built from the ground up for this purpose.When you solve these problems, you will experience the next phase of growth in your baseball career.


What We Do At ThePitcherLab:


ThePitcherLab exists to help pitchers like you achieve measurable velocity gains and secure opportunities to get recruited or signed.1. Customized Programs Tailored to You:
No cookie-cutter plans. Every program is built specifically for your body, mechanics, and goals.
2. Daily Coaching and Feedback:
Personalized, hands-on coaching ensures that every drill, exercise, and adjustment is optimized for success.
3. Real-Time Adjustments:
As you improve, your program evolves to keep the gains coming.
4. Built-In Accountability:
Daily contact with us and a structured plan means you stay consistent and keep trending in the right direction.


The 3 Steps of ThePitcherLab:


Step #1: You’ll optimize energy transfer in your pitching delivery by by learning how to properly sequence, accelerate and decelerate your body. This maximizes the efficiency of your delivery, allowing you to throw harder, safelyStep #2: You’ll mold high velocity patterns through specific medicine ball, plyo ball and cues tailored to you based on your genetics, and the type of mover you are. This takes all the guesswork out of your mechanics, allowing you to make progress without overthinking or getting confused.Step #3: You’ll develop the necessary strength, power and explosiveness to throw harder. THis builds a resilient body capable of throwing in the mid 90s and beyond, developing you into one of the best athlete on the field.


Why Does ThePitcherLab Work?


1. Comprehensive Customization
Every pitcher is unique. ThePitcherLab creates customized programs based on individual strengths, weaknesses, and goals. No cookie-cutter programs.
2. Daily Coaching and Feedback
Consistency is crucial for success. The program provides daily coaching access to ensure you stay on track.
3. Built-In Accountability
ThePitcherLab ensures you maintain momentum. Unlike traditional programs that leave gaps between check-ins, ThePitcherLab provides daily support.
4. Expertise Backed by Real Experience
The program is led by Albertus Barber and Josh Gessner, 2 former professional pitchers.
5. Continuous Adjustments
Progress isn’t linear, and neither is your program. ThePitcherLab adapts your plan as you improve, ensuring consistent gains.
7. Measurable Results
We focus on measurable results: Pitching Velocity.

Albertus Vaut Barber IV:

Hey everyone, Albertus Vaut Barber IV here.Here’s some things you should know about me.I was the worst athlete I knew growing up, and had to work my entire life to even have a chance.I will die for this game, and for those who love it.Anyone who respects this game, and truly puts their best foot forward, will receive everything I can offer.I dropped out of college to go train, and eventually work as a janitor at Driveline.Working in this role gave me the ability to learn under all of the great minds.I’ve pulled down over 100, sat upper 90s, played up to AA, and have survived 9+ years of being injured/adversity.This game gave me nothing easy, and I will continue to bite and scratch for every moment.Training to me is a way to hold me accountable, and learn how to convey certain messages to my athletes.I personally believe that every coach should also be playing/practicing the sport that they coach.I look forward to entering the trenches with all of you, and accomplishing more than you could ever imagine.You might not ever realize how good you could possibly be, but WE WILL.


Josh Gessner:

Hey, I’m Josh!In 2017 I was a 16 year old kid throwing 78 mph…With ambitions to sign a professional contract.What followed was 2 years of lonely, frustrating, slow growth.I made many mistakes and wasted hours - I even got a case of the yips.But… I found a way.In 2019:• I hit 96 mph.
• Offered by my dream school Stanford.
• Signed with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Over the past 6 years, I’ve constantly thought about how to become a better pitcher.I researched different training methods, visited world class baseball facilities and talked with the best coaches in professional baseball.I ended up with a system to increase pitching performance…That’s proven to produce results.Now I want to help you.
