Ryan Cullen isn’t just another talented young baseball player.

At just 14 years old, he’s already built a process that’s better than that of many professional athletes—centered on measuring arm health, managing fatigue, preparing intentionally, and taking ownership of his development.

In this episode of the More Than Velocity Podcast, Ryan Croton sits down with Ryan and his father, Lance, to discuss their journey after an early throwing injury changed the way they approached baseball. What followed was a commitment to learning, objective testing, and creating a system that allows Ryan to train harder while reducing unnecessary risk.

Throughout the conversation, they discuss:

  • How Ryan uses the ArmCare Fresh Exam and Post Exam before and after games
  • Why measuring fatigue is more valuable than guessing
  • The importance of a structured throwing ramp-up
  • How proper arm preparation helps him feel confident every time he takes the mound
  • Ryan’s progression from the upper-50s/low-60s into the 70 mph range
  • Building strength without outgrowing arm capacity
  • Why communication between players, parents, and coaches matters
