Factors significantly associated with pitching performance
| Baseball throwing parameters | Factors significantly associated with pitching performance |
| Kinematics | |
| At foot contact | SHA Upper torso forward flexion |
| Arm-cocking phase | SER |
| Maximal SER | Increased upper torso rotation angle Upper torso lateral flexion |
| Acceleration | Ø |
| Ball release | Lower lead knee flexion angle Greater forward trunk tilt |
| Kinetics | |
| Arm-cocking phase | Increased shoulder proximal force |
| Arm acceleration | Increased peak elbow proximal force |
| Arm deceleration | Increased maximal shoulder proximal forces Increased maximal elbow proximal forces |
| Timing outcomes | Increased maximal SIR angular velocity |
| Physical tests and individual characteristics | Bodyweight Age Lateral to medial jump Medicine ball scoop Standing long jump 10 m sprint Grip strength |
| Range of motion | Ø |
| Other individuals parameters | Peak elbow varus torque Direction of the spin axis Greater separation of hips and shoulders |
SER, shoulder external rotation; SHA, shoulder horizontal adduction; SIR, shoulder internal rotation.
