Better video = better analysis

Follow these tips and we can track joints, angles, and patterns the eye can't catch in real time.

Why Slo-Mo?

A normal pitch takes less than a second. At 30fps, we only get ~20 frames to analyze the entire delivery. At 240fps, we get ~160 frames. Enough to catch arm lag, hip-shoulder separation, release point, and deceleration patterns that happen in milliseconds.

2. Where to stand

About 15 feet from the mound, waist height. The throwing-arm side gives us the best view of arm action and release point.

3. What each angle captures

BEST
~15 ft

Full arm action, release point, hip-shoulder separation, follow-through. This is what biomechanics labs use.

GOOD
~15 ft

Lead leg, glove-side mechanics, trunk rotation. Good secondary angle for a complete picture.

OK

Stride line and trunk tilt visible, but arm action partially hidden. Use if side angles aren't possible.

AVOID
Arms hidden from view

Arms and legs overlap. Most joints hidden. We can't track what we can't see.
