The MAC is happy to be the home of Hell-for-Leather Throwing (H4L), Rio Rancho’s only baseball and softball arm care program.

​

H4L is headed by former Indiana, Arizona State and UNM pitching coach, Brandon Higelin.

 

Some of coach Higelin’s accomplishments include developing:

​

• 24 pitchers selected in the MLB draft

• 6 pitchers selected in the top 10 rounds

• 3 MLB pitchers

• 2 All-Americans

• 3 Conference Pitchers of the Year

• Pitchers selected to Big 10, PAC-12, and MWC All-Conference teams

​

Coach Higelin has used his years of collegiate and professional experience to help develop a throwing program that incorporates the latest in modern technology and metrics with tried-and-true practices that have been used at the professional level for years.

​

At Hell-for-Leather Throwing players can expect:

​

• Driveline inspired strengthening and recovery exercises

  • We will teach you how to build arm strength and maintain arm health.

• Pre and post throwing routines

  • What do you need to do to be ready to perform and what do you need to do to take care of yourself? We will give you the answer.

  • Pitching is not the only position where mechanics impact velocity.  Infielders, outfielders, and catchers need to learn how to best utilize their arm at their position.

• Rapsodo assessments

  • It is important for players to see their progress in real time. We will offer assessments utilizing Rapsodo techniology.

• Detailed long-toss programs

  • A throwing program is not a throwing program if you are not throwing, A LOT! You will have a detailed throwing program updated weekly.

• Video analysis

  • Each player will have the opportunity to receive expert video analysis.

• Facility Access

  • All participants will have unlimited access to our development area located at the MAC.

• Interactive player profiles
