Fixing Inconsistent Baseball Spin-Rate Tracking

Spin rate swinging pitch to pitch usually isn't the arm. Lighting, ball wear, and missed release capture skew readings - here's the fix protocol.

How to Train Rotational Power for Baseball: From Measurement to 12-Week Programming

Exit velocity and pitch speed both trace back to rotational power. A 12-week plan pairs 800Hz IMU rotation data with medicine ball throws for real gains.

Why Rotational Power Asymmetry Matters: Injury Risk and Performance in Throwing and Striking Sports

A 15% left-right power gap triples injury risk in golf, baseball, and tennis. See the longitudinal IMU thresholds and protocols behind that number.

How to Track a Pitcher’s Throwing Velocity with IMU: An 800Hz Sensor Standard Beyond the Radar Gun

Radar guns clock the pitch, not the arm behind it. An 800Hz IMU tracks 5 metrics like MER velocity, where injury risk climbs past 8,500 deg/s.

How to Train Baseball Throwing Velocity with Rotational Power and IMU

Stodden's research found fastball velocity comes 45% from the legs, 35% from trunk rotation, and 20% from the arm. This 12-week protocol trains all three.
