Introduction[edit | edit source]
Baseball pitching is one of the most intensely studying athletic motionCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title. Although focus has been more on shoulder, entire body movement is required to perform a baseball pitching. Throwing is also considered one of the fastest human motions performed, and maximum humeral internal rotation velocity reaches about 7000 to 7500o/secondCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.
