3D Baseball Pitching Analysis

Baseball Pitch Freeze Frame Hero Banner 01

With over 17 years of experience testing and working with baseball players, our lab has developed one of the most comprehensive motion analysis processes for baseball players.

How do we measure?

We put retroreflective markers on specific anatomical landmarks. The position data for these markers are collected by our near-infrared cameras and then computed into 3D coordinates. Using principles in Classical Mechanics with the aid of modern computers, we can solve any related problems in mathematical model of the musculo-skeletal system.

What do we provide?

A complete report of joint kinematics and body segment rotations, power, flexibility, timing, and form during key phases of baseball pitch.
High speed video filmed during your pitches.
Clinical interpretations and recommendations for reducing injury or repairing current injury.

What main areas do we measure/calculate?

Power – ball speed, max hip, torso, shoulder, and elbow rotational velocities Flexibility – max shoulder external rotation, stride length Timing – kinematic sequence for hip, torso, shoulder, and elbow Body positions during key phases –stride, foot contact, max crank back, ball release, and follow-through

All your data will be compared to D1 athletes with ideal forms. We translate the data values into actionable outcomes that make sense to the user and can be implemented to improve performance and limit injury.
