Nobody shows up throwing 90. That’s the part people forget.

What we’re seeing now from Miles Blake is the result of a few years of consistent work. Not just in the weight room or on the mound, but in how he approached every piece of his development—especially the stuff no one sees.

The Foundation: Strength, Mass, and Nutrition

When Miles first got started with us, it was clear that the limiting factor wasn’t mechanics—it was strength. He needed more mass, more stability, and more horsepower to support the movement patterns we wanted to develop.

So we got to work. He committed to the weight room and started tracking his nutrition daily. And I mean daily. For months, I’d get food logs from Miles—every single meal, tracked down to the calorie and macro. He locked in on getting 200+ grams of protein a day, focusing on quality food and the consistency to match it.

The results showed up fast. His body composition improved. His weight climbed over 190 pounds. And before long, he was deadlifting close to 500 pounds like it was nothing.

The Next Phase: Mechanical Efficiency & Pitch Design

Once the strength foundation was in place, we turned our attention to the mound. A lot of the inefficiencies we had seen early on—especially with how he moved through his front side—started cleaning themselves up just from being stronger.

From there, it became about refining things.

We focused a lot on his front side block—drills, cues, video feedback, daily adjustments. We were in constant communication, sending messages and videos back and forth to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks.

From a pitch design perspective, he already had a really solid sinker-slider combo with over 40 inches of separation. We added a cutter to fill the space between—a tighter, more controlled offering he could land for strikes more consistently.

Where He’s At Now

After two focused offseasons, Miles is now a 90 MPH arm with a complete arsenal. He’s efficient. He’s strong. He has a plan every time he throws. And more than anything, he’s become the kind of athlete who understands what it takes to keep leveling up.

It’s been a fun ride with Miles—constant communication, honest feedback, and consistent effort. That’s the formula. Miles is proof of what it looks like when you commit to the full process, not just the fun parts.

And we’re not done yet.
