ABOUT PRIME
WHERE HIGH INTENT
MEETS HIGH STANDARDS.
Prime Athletics was founded with one mission: to bring elite-level physical development to dedicated baseball and softball athletes. Our programs are built on a deep foundation of strength and conditioning, functional mobility, sport-specific biomechanics, advanced arm care, and proven velocity development systems.
Whether you're just starting your athletic journey or you're a high-level performer chasing the next edge, we're committed to helping you break through plateaus and exceed your goals.
Prime is owned and operated by John Snelten, who finished his collegiate career at Valparaiso University in 2009. His dedication to every athlete's development has produced more than 250 members of the 90 MPH Club since Prime opened, and our staff of knowledgeable coaches is ready to guide you through every phase of your training.

THE STANDARD
THE 90 MPH CLUB.
The 90 MPH Club at Prime Athletics is more than a benchmark. It's a symbol of relentless pursuit and discipline, the standard that separates the casual from the committed. For many athletes, hitting 90 MPH is the moment potential starts turning into opportunity.
At Prime, that milestone isn't luck. It's earned through intentional development, individualized programming, and a day-by-day grind embraced by athletes who want to push their ceiling.
More than 250 athletes have earned the right to sign the 90 MPH Club board. They've gone on to compete at every level of college baseball, including more than 150 Division I commits, and many have taken their careers into the professional ranks.
Work ethic over hype. Progress over promises.

PROGRAM COORDINATOR & FOUNDER
ABOUT JOHN SNELTEN.
John Snelten founded Prime Athletics to develop high-level arms through a culture rooted in trust, accountability, and long-term growth. A former collegiate athlete at Valparaiso University (2005–2009), he moved from player to coach with a clear purpose: to build something lasting for the next generation.
Since opening Prime in 2016, John has built individualized programming that challenges athletes physically while supporting them mentally through every phase of development. His approachable yet demanding style builds relationships that extend far beyond the training floor.
Backed by his NASM-CPT and TPI certifications, John blends science, experience, and instinct into a development model that's both intuitive and proven. The goal isn't just to throw harder. It's to give athletes the tools, habits, and confidence to succeed at the next level and beyond.
