We've been there.

We had to teach ourselves a healthy throw. Then we built the tool so you don't have to.

We believe throwing is a natural movement that should feel good.

Virgil spent years in pro ball looking for a throw that didn't hurt. In 2015 he found it. Inside90™ is how we teach it, and the Rev Throw is the tool we built to do it, so you can feel it for yourself.

The full story

For years, we've heard that throwing overhand is an unnatural motion and that arm pain is simply part of the game. We believe there's a better way to understand and experience throwing.

Virgil Vasquez and Alex Trezza first met in 2003 while playing professional baseball in the Detroit Tigers organization. What began as a friendship between teammates grew into years of conversations about baseball, development, and the best way we could help the next generation. Throughout their playing and coaching careers, both developed a deep curiosity about how athletes move and how throwing could be taught more effectively.

In 2015, after his pro career ended and coaching career began, Virgil experienced a turning point while working with pitching coach Caleb Balbuena. A simple throwing cue, "throw around a tree," helped him experience something he had spent years searching for: a relaxed, connected arm action and the effortless feeling of the whip.

Virgil became his own test subject. He was willing to change anything to throw healthy: the way he thought, trained, moved, slept and ate. For over a year he trained himself, throwing whenever he wasn't coaching: summers with the Minnesota Twins, winters playing and coaching in Australia with the Melbourne Aces. He re-engineered his throw, took it into a game, and the next year started teaching it.

That discovery changed the way Virgil understood throwing. He began exploring the throwing motion from the release point backward, discovering how the ball, arm path, torso, and lower body work together to generate effortless power. He shared his discoveries with Alex, and together they recognized the need for a tool that could help others learn and experience what they had come to understand.

The Rev Throw wasn't a product idea. It was a tool made out of need: we had taught ourselves, we wanted to teach others, and there wasn't a tool for it. It took two years to build, and it kept evolving as we taught with it.

In 2019, we introduced the Rev Throw, an arm-path trainer designed to help athletes learn through movement, where the drill is the instruction. Through rhythmic, repeatable motion and immediate feedback, the Rev Throw helps athletes discover the feeling of the whip and develop a natural, connected throwing motion they can trust.

Read Virgil's story

Throughout his pitching career, Virgil sought a deeper understanding of movement and throwing. His goal was simple: to find a way to throw that felt healthy and powerful, allowing him to focus on competing rather than managing pain between outings. His dream was to pitch in Major League Baseball for as long as possible, and he was willing to question, adapt, and change anything to make that happen. This curiosity led him beyond traditional baseball training into strength and conditioning, movement therapies, tai chi, and qigong.

In 2015, following his first season as a professional coach, Virgil's experience learning from Caleb Balbuena transformed his understanding of the throwing motion. It inspired him to develop a top-down approach to throwing development and set him on a personal journey to discover his own healthy throw.

Over the next year, through self-exploration, research, and testing, Virgil taught himself how to throw in a way that felt healthy, natural, repeatable, and powerful, something he had been searching for throughout his playing career.

As a professional pitching coach in Minor League Baseball, Virgil began incorporating what he had discovered into his teaching. He recognized that these movement principles weren't exclusive to pitching but applied to throwing across every position. However, he couldn't find a training tool that helped athletes feel and understand where their throwing power comes from while reinforcing the natural movement patterns he was teaching.

That need led Virgil and Alex Trezza to create the Rev Throw, a tool designed to help athletes develop awareness, experience the natural sequence of throwing, and discover their own healthy throw.

Today, Virgil continues coaching and helping throwers around the world discover the feeling of a more natural, connected, and powerful throw.

Alex brings decades of experience as a professional baseball player, collegiate coach, recruiter, and strength and conditioning specialist. An All-American at Stony Brook University, Alex was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 2001 and played 12 seasons of professional baseball as a catcher.

He later spent 12 years coaching collegiate baseball, including serving as Associate Head Coach at Boston College, working with pitchers and catchers. His experience in coaching, strength and conditioning, and player development brought a valuable perspective to the discoveries he and Virgil explored together, along with a passion for giving the next generation of players and coaches the tools and mindset we didn't have.
