  Measurement Guidelines
 
The analysis that was done is a sophisticated review of your pitching delivery which identifies where you may have flaws that will hinder your performance (velocity and control) as well as significantly increase your risk of injury.

Each measurement is extremely critical to your performance and your risk of injury. If you are out of the Peak Performance Range for any measurement, your ability to have superior velocity and control is greatly reduced. Also, you will have a significant risk of injury and you should pay serious attention to improving this phase of your delivery. Continuing to pitch without modifying the flaws will cause a potentially serious injury to your shoulder and/or elbow.

All measurements that are out of the Peak Performance Range should be addressed. We suggest you work with a qualified academy, baseball facility or coach to receive guidance to improve your pitching delivery. Appropriately addressing each measurement in your delivery will enable you to be the best pitcher you can be and give you the best chance of pitching more effectively than you ever have before.

Effective pitching takes place when your body movements are synchronized delivery. When a specific body movement in the delivery is not synchronized, you will pitch with a slower velocity, less consistency and with less control while significantly increasing your risk of injury.

Studies we have done at the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI) pitching laboratories prove that hip rotation velocity (how fast your hips move during your pitching delivery) is directly related to fast ball velocity. Hence, the faster your hips move, the faster your pitch velocity. Several measurements in the 3P Biomechanical Analysis impact hip rotation velocity. When hip rotation velocity is hindered, too much stress is placed on the arm for ball velocity resulting in a significant chance for injury.

There are 14 measurements in your 3P Biomechanical Analysis. Clicking on the title of the measurement takes you to a detail page with even more insights. Next to each measurement on the detail page is a link to a video by Rick Peterson explaining the measurement and how it impacts your performance and risk for injury. To the far right of the same section are video links to pitching drills that you can do to address this measurement/phase of your pitching delivery.

As you review your 3P Biomechanical Analysis you will likely see that you have one or more flaws in your delivery as some of your critical measurements will not be in the Peak Performer range. Our goal is to get all your measurements into the Peak Performer range so that you can pitch at your best, increase your team’s success and reduce your risk of injury. The way you will correct your measurements and maintain the areas where you are in the Peak Performer range is to execute the 3P Pitching Drills and the 3P Conditioning programs as recommended.
