BRAND NEW X4 DIAMOND PERFORMANCE TRAINING ARRIVING

Press Releases

May 2022

Big League Edge Performance Baseball & Softball will be introducing its brand new X4 Diamond Performance Training this Fall 2022. X4 Training is VPX's flagship player development platform, which features a fully comprehensive approach to hitting, pitching, fielding, and strength performance.


Widely considered a foremost authority in baseball and softball player development, VPX trains 20+ MLB organizations and over 100 NCAA baseball and softball programs. They have worked with Team USA's Monica Abbott, Haylie McCleney, Shelby Pendley and many other Olympic and NCAA softball programs.


In baseball, VPX continues to dominate the player development landscape worldwide. Their training and consulting spans the likes of Clemson, Oklahoma, Rutgars, USC, and many other Power6 NCAA programs. They also have worked with some of the biggest names in Major League Baseball.


"VPX has developed some truly game changing player development platforms for the games of baseball and softball. Our vision has remained focused upon movement enhancement, which is the cornerstone to high level performance. To impact the game properly, an athlete must establish a kinetic chain reaction that optimizes lower half energy flows and this is the essence of everything X4." Stated VPX Founder and former MLB player Jim Parque.


And the data does flow in all X4 Diamond Performance Training that is set to be released to the public this October 2022. Hitting labs, pitching labs, fielding labs, and virtual reality will be utilized in all X4 programming.


Every rep an athlete takes will be quantified, analyzed, and then instantly uploaded to the athlete's virtual locker for assessment, review, and future evaluations. There is a mix of training that does not include data and a training that does.


"You cannot just quantify and expect to improve. You must get away from the computer screen and just hit, field, or throw the ball. VPX understands this and is extremely talented at what they do and how they mix the analytics into the process."  Stated VPX Coordinator Eric Peterson.


"BLE has opened up a world class training experience in their new facility. It is outfitted with the latest and greatest in technology based training, but does not ignore the basics in cages, mounds, and tees."  Stated VPX Coordinator Justin Marsden.


Although data is what drives X4 Training, having an experienced player developer is what is required to not only read the data, but implement its metrics into the player development process.


"You cannot just drive data into an arm, bat, or glove. You need the so-called old school approach of experienced coaching. This is why VPX has been so successful worldwide. We know how to interpret the data and put together a training process that matches up data, expertise, and individual athletic needs."  Stated Parque.


X4 Diamond Performance Training will offer various types of hitting, pitching, fielding, and speed programming. Additionally, camps and clinics will be offered for all ages for baseball and softball.



➟ X4 Diamond Performance Programming

All programming and camps provide a 1x or 2x per week training platform at BLE's new facility with VPX Coordinators. But programming and camps also provide 7-day per week digital training through X4 Digital.


"Every player will train at BLE with their own VPX Coordinator. But they will also have access to X4 Digital Training, which is the take-home training side of any X4 Diamond Performance program. Basically, an athlete trains at BLE once or twice a week and also have take-home training and home-based training through the X4 Digital Training Platform."  Stated VPX Coordinator Sean Taunt.
