OUR WHY

Built to Unlock Opportunity

Pitcher development isn’t just about mechanics — it’s about unlocking opportunity.

Wins. Scholarships. Draft moments. That’s what’s at stake.

We built NewtForce to give coaches and pitchers what they actually need: a platform that drives the right change.

Built for coaches. Trusted by pitchers. Designed to take action — when the rep matters most. Because development shouldn’t wait.

"Newtforce mound is a game changer because it now allows me to be able to leverage the right tools in the toolbox much quicker than before.”

— John DeRouin

Delivery Coordinator/Service Tech

Jeff Morrow

Jeff’s journey with the team began back in the early 2000s when he served as a Senior Engineer for AeroNautique, taking on some of the most complex aviation projects. After 20 years in the engineering trenches, grinding away at intricate SolidWorks models, Jeff found himself wanting more than the endless hours in front of a computer screen. He craved more movement and the chance to see the world beyond the workstation. We didn't quite believe him at first, and he quit. After a short, painful separation, we convinced him to come back home where we promptly fulfilled his vision of more mobility and getting to ‘see the world’—albeit in a beat-up Dodge pickup, dragging a trailer full of pitching mounds and parts. Jeff has since logged countless miles (from Morgan Hill, CA to Chapel Hill, NC), installed more NewtForce systems, and faced more USB camera cable panic attacks than any other human on the planet—and he’s just getting started.
