The act of pitching a baseball involved a complicated transfer of energy through the kinetic chain.

However, until recently, this was not documented and quantified.

In this week’s episode of The Sports Physical Therapy Podcast, I talk with biomechanist Arnel Aguinaldo, who has recently published several articles on the energy flow during the baseball pitch, with implications on velocity development and potential injury risk.

Show Notes

Arnel Aguinaldo (aka “Dr. A”) is an associate professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Point Loma Nazarene University where he runs the biomechanics laboratory, which focuses on the biomechanical foundations of athletic performance. His research in baseball spans 15 years with multiple publications and conference presentations on the kinematic, kinetic, and energetic aspects of baseball pitching and their links to injury risk and throwing performance.
