NPA Pitching Protocols to Be Implemented During PRIBL Winter Development League

AGUADILLA, PR - The Puerto Rico Independent Baseball League (PRIBL) Winter Development League will take a groundbreaking step in player development by integrating the highly respected National Pitching Association (NPA) protocols into its training program. This initiative, led by certified NPA coach Juan Berger (JB), will focus on boosting pitching performance while emphasizing arm health and injury prevention, setting a new standard for winter baseball training.

Founded by the legendary pitching coach Tom House, the National Pitching Association is known for its innovative, research-backed approach to pitching development. The NPA protocols focus on biomechanics, functional strength training, and mental conditioning, ensuring pitchers develop their skills effectively and safely. By adopting these methods, PRIBL will provide players with the same advanced techniques used by elite pitchers in professional and collegiate baseball, giving them a competitive edge.

Coach Juan Berger, an NPA-certified coach, will play a key role in implementing these protocols within the PRIBL Winter Development League. With extensive experience training alongside Tom House, Coach JB will work with pitchers to increase velocity, refine command, and enhance overall durability. His expertise in biomechanics will allow him to design personalized training programs that maximize each player’s potential while minimizing injury risks.

In addition to pitching mechanics, Coach JB will guide players on nutrition, recovery strategies, and mental preparation. This holistic approach will ensure that PRIBL pitchers not only throw harder but also develop the resilience and knowledge required for sustained success on the mound. The NPA protocols will provide a well-rounded training experience that addresses every aspect of a pitcher’s development.

Players will significantly improve their mechanics and arm health as the NPA protocols are implemented. Coaches will observe increased efficiency in training sessions, and pitchers will benefit from evidence-based techniques that enhance their overall performance. By focusing on player development through scientifically-proven methods, PRIBL will position itself as a leader in training within the Caribbean and Latin American baseball communities.

PRIBL’s commitment to integrating these cutting-edge training methodologies will set a new benchmark for winter baseball programs. The inclusion of NPA protocols will benefit the league’s current players and strengthen PRIBL’s reputation as a premier destination for aspiring professional and collegiate athletes.

With the partnership between PRIBL and Coach JB, along with the expertise of the National Pitching Association, players will have access to the highest-quality pitching development available. As PRIBL continues to grow, the future of pitching development in the PRIBL Winter Development League will be brighter than ever, offering players the tools they need to excel on the mound and succeed in their baseball careers.
