Journal Club (Lower Extremity Biomechanics in Pitching)

Join us for the first journal club of 2026! Our discussion will focus on lower extremity biomechanics during pitching, specifically:

(1) How do high-velocity pitchers use their legs to generate ground reaction forces differently?

(2) How do pitchers use kinematics to control energy flow through the legs and pelvis?
