Optimal Power Performance (OPP) started out as an experiment in 2015 for our founder’s personal baseball career. The experiment was to test different training methodologies and player development strategies on a surplus of athletes to see what strategies would work the best. Our founder Aj Arroyo, ended up collecting the data of hundreds of athletes during this process. At the time, he had no intentions of creating a baseball training company. He was just trying to figure out what works in the shortest amount of time possible. After his playing career ended in 2017, he decided to start coaching athletes full time. In 2019 he opened up our first baseball training facility in Tempe AZ. It was here where he realized he could do something big. In 2023 we expanded into our new location in Phoenix Arizona. We have worked with well over 2,000 baseball players from the High School level up to the MLB. Now, with our platform we are dedicated to showing the world how we provide this service and some of the lessons and failures along the way.
