How Tom House & Mustard are Redefining Pitching Development

What actually drives pitching performance, and why are so many players still getting it wrong?

In this episode of the More Than Velocity Podcast, we sit down with legendary pitching coach and biomechanics pioneer Tom House to break down the future of pitching development.

From his early work with elite athletes to today’s cutting-edge tools like Mustard and ArmCare, Tom and Weston Lombard of Mustard share how the game is evolving beyond radar-gun readings—and what players, coaches, and parents need to understand to build durable, high-performing pitchers.

We dive into:

Why velocity alone is misleading

The missing link between mechanics and strength

How data is changing player development (and where it falls short)

The concept of “windows of trainability”

Why throwing strikes might be the most underrated skill in baseball

This is all about performance, durability, and actually developing pitchers, not just velo.
