About Us
What is the American Baseball Biomechanics Society?
Baseball biomechanics has been rapidly transforming over the last few years from laboratory research to the baseball diamond. An increasing number of Major League Baseball organizations are hiring biomechanists and performance science directors, buying expensive technology, and paying consultants for biomechanical services.
Baseball Biomechanics is becoming the new “Money Ball” for teams looking for a competitive advantage in performance and safety.
The American Baseball Biomechanics society is a not-for-profit
organization that was created in 2020 to provide valid, valuable biomechanical information to baseball players, coaches, teams, and organizations of all levels, as well as to set standards for biomechanical analyses of baseball players. We as the founding members, look forward to the impact that this society will have for many years to come.
Our Purpose And Goals
Promoting scientific information about baseball biomechanics
Education
To provide valid, valuable biomechanical information to baseball players, coaches, teams, and organizations

To set standards for biomechanical evaluations and analyses within a baseball setting
Meet The Team
A professional network for education, collaboration, and scientific research
ABBS was founded in February 2020 by Glenn Fleisig Ph.D., Bryson Nakamura, Ph.D., Megan Stewart, M.S., Rob Shapiro, Ph.D., Ethan Stewart, M.S., Hillary Plummer, Ph.D., Matt Solomito Ph.D., Ben Hansen, B.S., Jon Slowik, Ph.D., Gretchen Oliver, Ph.D., and Anthony Brady, M.S.
The Board of Directors of the Society consist of a diverse group of seasoned biomechanists who come from academia, Major League Baseball, medical centers, and private organizations. They all serve in various capacities to lead and shape the Society.
