Today we’d like to introduce you to Brett Graves.
Hi Brett, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I began as a STL area athlete pursuing a career in baseball. From Francis Howell High School to Mizzou to Professional Baseball. As my career was winding down and my family was growing, I was looking for what would come next. I was blessed with the opportunity to join Premier Pitching and Performance as a Partner and took over as President after my career ended. Since then, we’ve been continuing to grow and develop the systems that have made Premier successful for the last 10 years and, ultimately, producing success for our athletes and coaches.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
We’ve been blessed with so many great athletes, coaches, universities and professional organizations who have trusted us to be a part of their journey. There are always bumps in the road and we strive to continue to learn from them as we go.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
At Premier Pitching & Performance, we’re not just a training facility—we’re a research-driven pitching development organization based in Wentzville, Missouri. Our mission is to combine cutting-edge biomechanics, strength and conditioning, and individualized programming to help pitchers maximize performance while reducing injury risk.
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to data-backed training. Every athlete we work with undergoes a comprehensive assessment that includes motion capture analysis, force plate testing, and strength diagnostics. This allows us to tailor their training down to the smallest mechanical and physical inefficiencies. We’re known for developing high-velocity, durable arms—not through guesswork or gimmicks, but through applied science and real-world experience.
Our staff includes former professional players, certified strength coaches, and biomechanical analysts who collaborate to build athlete-specific roadmaps. We specialize in velocity development, mechanical efficiency, return-to-throw programs, and arm care systems that are designed with long-term health and elite performance in mind.
From a brand standpoint, we’re most proud of the trust we’ve built with high-level athletes, college programs, and professional organizations. Our athletes know that when they walk through our doors, they’re not just getting a workout—they’re getting a competitive edge.
We want your readers to know that if you’re serious about pitching development—whether you’re a high school standout chasing a scholarship or a pro looking to add 3 mph to your fastball—we have the systems, the tools, and the team to help you get there.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
It’s a baseball city. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel the country and I have seen very few that can compete with St. Louis.
