The RGFT Method for Baseball
Rotary Ground Force Training™ (RGFT) is the next evolution in rotational performance for baseball. It combines kinesiology, physics, and the proprietary TrueTurnPro thoracic isolation device to maximize rotational efficiency, increase ground reaction force (GRF), and unlock elite-level movement capacity.
Why Rotation Defines Baseball
Every key movement in baseball is rotary at its core:
- Pitching requires the seamless transfer of force from the ground, through the hips, and into the throwing arm.
- Hitting demands explosive rotational sequencing, generating bat speed and exit velocity.
- Throwing and fielding rely on dynamic trunk rotation, hip stability, and precise kinetic chain timing.
- Without efficient rotation, players lose velocity, power, accuracy, and ultimately, durability.
The Breakthrough: Locking the Upper Kinetic Chain
The defining feature of the RGFT Method is the innovative concept of locking the upper kinetic chain using the TrueTurnPro. This breakthrough allows the thoracic spine to be trained in true isolation, which produces benefits no other system can replicate:
- Pure Thoracic Isolation – By immobilizing the shoulders and arms, athletes eliminate “cheating” patterns and build rotation where it matters most.
- Enhanced Rotary Core Activation – The obliques, transverse abdominis, and spinal stabilizers are forced to fire at a higher level, creating explosive rotational strength.
- Greater Hip Mobility & Power Transfer – With the upper chain fixed, the hips are freed to rotate more efficiently, increasing torque and force generation.
- Joint Protection & Injury Reduction – Prevents the spine, hips, and shoulders from overcompensating, lowering the risk of repetitive stress injuries common in baseball.
- Improved Mechanics & Sequencing – Athletes learn to control and stabilize rotation at the source, resulting in cleaner, repeatable pitching and hitting mechanics.

The RGFT Advantage
Traditional training often emphasizes strength and conditioning without addressing the rotary biomechanics unique to baseball. The RGFT Method fills that gap by training athletes to:
- Maximize GRF and harness the force created with each foot strike
- Stabilize joints under high-velocity stress
- Optimize sequencing of the kinetic chain for power and accuracy
- Shoulder breakdown (rotator cuff tears, labrum injuries)
- Elbow stress (UCL/“Tommy John” injuries)
- Low back and oblique strains
- Hip and knee instability
Performance Outcomes
Athletes who train with the RGFT Method and TrueTurnPro experience:
- Increased pitching velocity through stronger ground force transfer
- Higher bat speed and exit velocity with efficient rotational sequencing
- Greater durability and resilience across long seasons
- Improved accuracy and control through better trunk stability and mechanics
The Future of Baseball Training
The RGFT Method represents a shift in baseball performance development: from general strength and conditioning to precision rotary training rooted in science and biomechanics. By integrating the TrueTurnPro and RGFT protocols, athletes are able to maximize their natural ability, extend their careers, and perform at levels once thought unreachable.
The game of baseball is rotational. The future of baseball training is RGFT.
