For the throwing portion of the assessment, we will require several videos of your throwing mechanics. The more recent the better. If you have the corresponding velocity please include a note of that when you send in your videos.
PitchAI
In order for us to run your throwing video through the PitchAI software to get objective biomechanical data, you will need to ensure you send several side-view slow-motion videos.
Attached here are videos detailing how to get the best captures possible.
Additional Angles
After sending/filming side-view slow-motion videos for us please film videos from the rear and/or front as well.
Slow-motion is preferred for these angles as well.
Performance Data
If available, please include PDF reports or screenshots of Rapsodo/Trackman data to help us better familiarize ourselves with you as a pitcher.
