Description
This study examines the effect of arm angle on pitcher success and the potential for injury prevention based on arm angle. With the rise of advanced metrics like Statcast, pitcher mechanics—especially arm angle—have become key indicators of performance. The research explores how different arm angles influence pitch movement, velocity, and injury risk, suggesting that pitchers with a “low ¾ arm angle” may best balance performance and long-term arm health.
