Baseball Training for Westwood Athletes

Parsons Sports Performance sits on Route 1 in Norwood, minutes from the Westwood line. For most Westwood families the drive is shorter than the ride to practice — and no town sends more athletes to PSP than Westwood.

PSP is a strength-first baseball training facility. The thesis is simple: velocity is an output. Build the strength, the rate of force development, and the movement quality underneath it, and the radar gun follows. We don’t chase the number — we build the athlete who produces it.

You already know athletes who train here

Westwood High Football is a named PSP partner program, and a significant share of PSP’s baseball athletes attend Xaverian Brothers High School on Clapboard Tree Street — right on the Westwood/Norwood line. A Westwood athlete walking through our door is not the first from town; he’s joining teammates and classmates who are already in the program.

What training looks like

Every athlete starts with an evaluation: baseline strength, speed, and movement testing that tells us exactly where the gaps are. From there he trains in a semi-private setting — an individualized program with real coach attention, not a group class with a baseball logo on it. Arm care is built into the program, not bolted on, and recovery services (shockwave, PEMF, red light, compression) live under the same roof.

The results Westwood families are driving for

In the Class of 2025, 100% of PSP athletes continued to collegiate athletics and 42% made D1 commitments. Across 12 weeks, engaged PSP athletes average +140 lbs on deadlift, +115 lbs on squat, +5 mph of throwing velocity, +10 mph of exit velocity, and −0.47 s on the 60-yard dash. Owen Burnes (Auburn ’27, ranked the #2 LHP by Perfect Game) took his fastball from 81 to 91 mph in the program.
