ALL ABOUT INTERNAL PRONATION (and how to Prevent & Heal injuries)
What is Baseball Internal Pronation?Internal Pronation (IP) is the intenal rotation of the throwing hand after pitch release. It is the culmination of the kinetic chain reaction's entire energy load being

ALL ABOUT INTERNAL ROTATION (and how to Prevent & Heal injuries)
Internal Rotation (IR) is basically pitch release range of motion (ROM). The more degrees of IR, the more velocity producing potential. IR is elasticity in its highest pitching form, but is a subconscious

GROUND FORCE REACTION – (#1 analytic determining power & velocity)
In physics and biomechanics, GROUND FORCE REACTION (GFR) is the force exerted by the ground upon an object in contact with it. Basically, when you jump, your energy is pushed downwards and reflected back

All About External Rotation for Efficient & Powerful Kinetic Chain Reaction
External rotation (ER) is the lateral rotation of the throwing shoulder that is defined in biomechanics and kinesiology as a transverse movement plane. It is initiated right after foot strike in power

Elbow Extension – What it is, What it Does, and How to Optimize it
ELBOW EXTENSION is the analytic that quantifies how far out front the elbow is positioned over the shoulder (right before release). The more elbow extension rom - the harder a pitcher throws, the better
