HSCL to test elite baseball pitchers for Visyn Inc.

baseball-97898_640The Human Sensorimotor Control Laboratory led by professor Juergen Konczak, PhD recently received a contract from Visyn to record the pitching motion from elite baseball pitchers. The company produces digital movement skill learning software and will use the biomechanical data to produce scientifically sound animations of “best practice” elite pitches. The participants (i.e., the pitchers) will receive relevant cues and coaching tips that are based on objective movement data.
