The ultimate pitching machine

Article Abstract:

Pitching is a kinetic chain that is a coordinated sequence of body movements of a baseball pitcher who can add several miles an hour to his fastball or put more snap on his slider which can increase the team's chances of winning more games. The pitching machine identifies these movements of the pitcher and helps in improving its performance and prevents sports related injuries.
