This spring we will open the Driveline Research lab to city public schools if they want to get their high school pitchers screened at no charge in our motion capture lab and learn more about the science of baseball. WHEN: Late Winter, Spring 2019 – likely weekday evenings and some Saturdays WH...
The secret to all biomechanics and motion capture boils down to a few fairly simple equations, first proposed by Abdel-Aziz and Dr. Karara. These form the basis of what is called Direct Linear Transformation (DLT). Once you read it, you’ll know the secret to solving all the injuries that happe...
Weighted baseball training has become ever more popular at both the amateur and professional level. Several MLB teams consult with Driveline Baseball to provide products and services to their athletes and coaches, and college players around the country are using forms of overload and underload train...
In Hacking the Kinetic Chain, we’ve developed a system that has evolved over six years of research and development and took over two years to fully write. Unlike other products, we do not shy away from the reality that all other “gurus” ignore – developing elite-level velocit...
I’ve been trying to put this article into words for the better part of a year and debated completely shelving it, because frankly, it’s extremely controversial and not accepted by most of the people who train baseball players. However, I am not going to stay silent on the issue any longe...
Two weeks ago, the NY Times published an article titled Young Arms and Curveballs: A Scientific Twist. In the article, Bill Pennington interviewed various experts in the field of youth baseball pitching and got mixed answers. Dr. Fleisig of ASMI said his research can’t prove that curveballs ar...
I wrote this for some friends of mine who had questions about biomechanics, and figured I’d share it here. ——- I’ll start with an introduction to what it is I’m studying. Biomechanics is nothing more than the description of mechanics (using the physics definition) as ap...
I’ve been meaning to write on this subject for quite some time, and if it’s received well, I’ll write more about ASMI’s report. A fair warning: This post will be very long and will likely contain a lot of scientific jargon that might be tough to understand. Feel free to conta...
