The kinetic chain starts long before ball release. Hip-shoulder separation — the degree of rotational difference between the hips and torso at key points in the delivery — is one of the most impactful mechanical variables we measure. Here's how to understand it, and why it matters.
Experienced coaches can see a lot. But data captures what eyes never can — micro-timing, acceleration rates at every joint, and consistency …
Pitching is a unilateral activity. Thousands of repetitions on the dominant side, year after year, create measurable asymmetries in strength…
Not all reps are created equal. Mechanical repetition builds habit — purposeful training builds adaptation. Understanding the difference cha…
Traditional pitching cues — "stay tall", "drive through", "finish strong" — often produce the opposite of their intended mechanical outcome …
