Welcome to The Armory | Enforcing America's Game Week 1

The game has a problem. It’s the biggest problem baseball has ever seen, and for over half a century, we haven't seen a real solution. We are living in an epidemic of elbow injuries—specifically Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) injuries—with no evidence of it slowing down.

Whether you are in Youth ball, High School, College, or the Pros, the threat is the same. While we’ve become incredibly good at the surgery (Tommy John) and the rehabilitation, we’ve failed miserably at going beyond basic foundations to actually prevent the damage before it happens.

You have taken the first step toward the solution by pre-ordering the Elbow Enforcer.

Because your device is currently being forged and will take roughly 7 months to arrive, we aren't going to let that time go to waste. Every week, you will receive a module of the Enforcing America’s Game Masterclass.

Why We Are Here:

My name is Lee Fiocchi. In 2017, while serving as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Los Angeles Angels, my ego was high. I thought I would keep every player firing on all cylinders. But in the first series of the season, our Ace went down. By the end of that season, I had to take a long, hard look at what I was doing—or not doing—to keep our guys healthy.

I realized that "getting stronger" isn't enough. Specificity is the missing link.

The Reality of the Demand:

To enforce a new standard, you have to understand the "Truth" of the physics involved in every pitch:

• The Velocity Tax: Every 1mph increase in velocity equals a 15% increase in elbow valgus stress.
• The Weight: A 90mph MLB fastball is equivalent to having a 45lb dumbbell hanging from your forearm.
• The Force: Muscles contracting on the elbow produce forces of 3-6x your bodyweight.
• The Speed: Shoulder internal rotation happens at more than 7,000 degrees per second (roughly 20 full revolutions per second).

What’s Next?

Over the next 7 months, we are retiring the excuses and attacking this problem head-on. We are going to move past the "Bigger, Faster, Stronger" models and move into true Armory Tenets.

We will cover the D.A.N.G. protocol, the Restore/Reorganize/Reload phases, and how to build "Non-contractile Tissue" capacity so your arm becomes bulletproof.

You didn’t just buy a piece of equipment; you joined a mission to save the game.

Keep an eye on your inbox next week. We’re going to start "spinning the blood" and diving into the Restoration Phase.
