“A holistic approach to performance enhancement and injury risk identification using advanced analytics”

Elbow, shoulder, and hip injuries in pitchers have profound implications, significantly impacting their performance and long-term health. These injuries are alarmingly prevalent, with research indicating that around 50% of high school pitchers experience shoulder pain (American Journal of Sports Medicine), and up to 33% face elbow injuries during their careers (Journal of Athletic Training). In college baseball, the numbers are even more concerning, with studies showing that approximately 70% of pitchers endure shoulder or elbow issues (Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy). These injuries not only disrupt a pitcher's ability to perform but also have cascading effects on their overall biomechanics. For instance, an elbow injury often leads to compensatory changes in shoulder and hip mechanics, increasing the risk of secondary injuries and impacting the pitcher's overall stability and efficiency. Similarly, hip injuries can alter the pitching stride, placing undue stress on the lower back and shoulders, further increasing the risk of additional injuries.

At KORE Pitching, we specialize in pitching biomechanics to address and optimize every aspect of a pitcher's performance and health. Our comprehensive approach targets as many factors as possible, ensuring we cover every potential risk area. Through early identification, we can help detect potential elbow, shoulder, and hip injuries before they occur. By identifying these issues ahead of time, we can intervene promptly, minimizing risk and addressing limitations effectively. Our expertise lies in identifying limitations that could lead to injuries, allowing us to maintain and monitor our clients' health and performance continuously. With our advanced techniques and dedication to proactive care, we ensure that athletes stay at the top of their game while reducing the risk of injury.
