Lumbopelvic Stability During A Single Leg Step Down Predicts Elbow Varus Torque During Baseball Pitching, Zachary J. Dezee, Adam J. Barrack, Kayla Bucci, Ryan J. Zerega, Rachel K. Straub, Andrew R. Karduna, Lori A. Michener

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

During a baseball pitch, energy is transferred from the lower extremities through the lumbopelvic junction to produce ball velocity. Reduced lumbopelvic stability has been associated with elbow injury in pitchers, and commonly ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tears. The primary biomechanical mechanism of UCL tears is high elbow varus torque. Understanding how decreased lumbopelvic stability influences the development of elbow varus torque could identify risk factors of UCL elbow injury. PURPOSE: Characterize the predictive ability of lumbopelvic stability on elbow varus torque during a baseball pitch. METHODS: NCAA Division 1 baseball players (N=44; 19.6+1.3yrs) participated. Pitchers threw ten fastballs from a …


Neck Flexors Bilateral Symmetry In Baseball Pitchers: A Unilateral Perspective, Ceren Acik, Stefan Keslacy, Christine Dy, Leila Rahnama Nov 2023

Neck Flexors Bilateral Symmetry In Baseball Pitchers: A Unilateral Perspective, Ceren Acik, Stefan Keslacy, Christine Dy, Leila Rahnama

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

This study examines the potential asymmetry in flexor neck muscle characteristics, including thickness, size, strength, and neck flexion range of motion (ROM), in baseball players. Baseball involves repetitive unilateral actions, which may subject players to one-sided stress and strain due to the sport's explosive and high-speed movements. Specifically, pitchers and catchers, who perform frequent arm activities, are at higher risk of upper extremity injuries. PURPOSE: The study aimed to investigate if repeated throwing movements in baseball induce trophic changes in the neck muscles, particularly on the dominant side used for throwing. METHODS: Thirteen college baseball players and fifteen healthy controls …


Are Diamonds A Girl’S Best Friend? Working Toward A Support System For Sexual Misconduct In Baseball, Alexis Krystyna Brudnicki Aug 2023

Are Diamonds A Girl’S Best Friend? Working Toward A Support System For Sexual Misconduct In Baseball, Alexis Krystyna Brudnicki

The Dissertation in Practice at Western University

Anyone who experiences and wishes to report sexual misconduct should be supported and have resources available to them. The problem of practice addressed in this organizational improvement plan is the deficit of structures and supports for reporting sexual misconduct at Baseball X (a pseudonym), resulting in ineffective and inefficient reporting and investigatory processes. This plan is focused on analyzing Baseball X through multiple lenses and frameworks to identify potential solutions to this problem. To resolve this issue, the best solution is to embed strategic and intentional support systems into the organization and its culture. The theories of power, systems, and …

Correlation Between Grip Strength At Various Arm Orientations And Hitting Performance Metrics Of Division I Collegiate Baseball Players, Jackson C. Maynard, Andrew A. Wolfe, Zane Badmaev, Chad Agor, Micheal Luera, Cheyenne Lavender Feb 2023

Correlation Between Grip Strength At Various Arm Orientations And Hitting Performance Metrics Of Division I Collegiate Baseball Players, Jackson C. Maynard, Andrew A. Wolfe, Zane Badmaev, Chad Agor, Micheal Luera, Cheyenne Lavender

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Dominate and non-dominate grip strength (GS) significantly correlated with bat speed (BS) in the sport of baseball. Various arm orientations occur throughout the swing; moreover, additional metrics beyond BS are indicative of baseball hitting performance. The correlation between various GS and hitting outcomes have not been empirically examined. PURPOSE: The aim of the current investigation was to examine the relationship of GS at various arm angles to various hitting performance metrics. METHODS: Division I collegiate baseball players (n = 17; height: 180.92 ± 5.61 cm; weight: 82.1 ± 11.12 kg) performed dominate and non-dominate maximal GS at five …
