The Standard
The 60/10 Club
TAP Athletes uses a benchmark to show what serious training can produce. To earn it, an athlete must achieve 60%+ strikes across two consecutive competitive bullpens and record a +10 MPH fastball gain since starting at TAP Athletes.
60%+
Strike Standard
Two consecutive competitive bullpens at a real command threshold. MLB average: ~62%.
+10
Velocity Gain
A measurable fastball gain tied to work done inside the system.
"My son loves working with Coach Calhoun. The ability he has to meet my son where he was performing and then make a plan with measurable steps of growth — in combination with his know-how, technology use, flexibility of teaching strategies, genuine listening skills, and his love of the sport — make him a great private instructor."

Read hitters and adjust mid-outing
Class 02

FAQ
Questions Parents Ask Before They Call
What age does TAP Athletes work with?
We work with pitchers ages 8 and up. Foundations is designed specifically for younger and newer athletes. The Academy and Train Unprompted™ programs are best suited for athletes who already have some pitching experience.
Do you offer private instruction outside of programs?
Yes. We offer individual instruction, group sessions, live at-bats, and Rapsodo scripted bullpens outside of our structured programs. Classes are also available as standalone bookings with no long-term commitment required.
What makes TAP Athletes different from a private pitching coach?
A defined curriculum, measurable outcomes, and a structured environment where athletes train alongside other pitchers. Every session has a purpose and every program has a real finish line — not just ongoing lessons with no clear destination.
