Checkpoint Ladder: Earn-Your-Velo Infield Throwing Progression
A radar-gated infield throwing progression where the player climbs a four-position ladder—seated, tall-kneel, power-position, full footwork—and only advances to the next checkpoint after hitting a velocity target at the current one. Builds clean, transferable infield throwing velocity from the ground up.
⏱ ~20 min📋 2–3 full ladder climbs. At checkpoints 1–3: up to 5 throws each, advance on the first that clears the target. Checkpoint 4: 5 max-intent footwork throws, record the best. Cap ~25–30 max-intent throws per session; 60–90s rest between climbs.
