We’re excited to provide you with access to one of the most advanced player development resources in the region through our partnership with the UNO Biomechanics Pitching Lab. This is a multi-step approach to owning your mechanics and is designed to give you a complete, data-driven understanding of your body to help maximize velocity, improve efficiency, and reduce injury risk. Players can schedule a one-time session OR one assessment before the summer season and one session at the conclusion of the season.
What to Expect
Every evaluation begins with a clinical assessment to establish a clear picture of how your body moves and transfers energy on the mound. This process begins with a series of movement tests, including:
- Shoulder range of motion testing (both throwing and non-throwing arms)
- Shoulder strength measurements using state-of-the-art resistance devices
- Scapular dyskinesis assessments to evaluate shoulder blade movement and positioning
- UCL ultrasound imaging to assess elbow joint spacing and potential stress indicators
Following this, you’ll receive an individualized, easy-to-understand report showing your clinical results.
You’ll then be evaluated during a bullpen session using elite motion-capture technology on a force-plate pitching mound. This system captures highly detailed data on your mechanics, removing guesswork and providing precise measurements tied to your movement patterns. This analysis identifies:
- Movement inefficiencies
- Opportunities to increase velocity
- Areas of elevated injury risk
All data is then compiled into a customized report specific to your delivery. These reports include:
- Clear explanations of each metric
- Video breakdowns of your mechanics
- Actionable steps for improvement & ways to increase velocity without putting mechanics at risk
You’ll also have the option to schedule a follow-up consultation (in-person or virtual) to review your results and build a clear plan moving forward. Get a more behind-the-scenes look at the lab and its technology:
