   From feeling lost in a never ending cycle of elbow pain just a few years ago, to now helping shape the game's next generation with Outlier Performance Lab in Miami, FL, Danny McAuliff joins episode 133 of The Layback Podcast to share his story. The former college righty fought through injury and setback time and time again until he went to Driveline for an assessment and was introduced to a new training device—FlexPro Grip. From there, Danny was able to understand his arm better than ever before and return to his previous prowess on the bump. After finishing out his career at Pitt, Danny returned to his south Florida home to revolutionize how baseball players are assessed and trained with their state-of-the-art performance lab.
