    As technology advances all around the world, baseball pitchers are exposed to new ways to throw the baseball at high velocities. This is causing baseball to become a lot more competitive. Players are often playing baseball year round instead of participating in other sports. This year round throwing and arm fatigue is putting more stress on pitchers’ elbows than ever before. This is part of the reason why the number of UCL Reconstructions, commonly know as Tommy John Surgery, is on the rise and does not show any signs of stopping.…

    The arm is the most fascinating piece of equipment in all of sports. This is especially true in baseball, where a fairly recent epidemic of arm injuries in major leaguers, minor leaguers, and kids has hit the sport extremely hard. Eager to find the causes behind the uprising in arm injuries and a way to solve the problem, Jeff Passan went on a three year journey across the United States and abroad. His book, simply titled The Arm, compiles events from the trip and takes a look at possible causes of the surge of injuries. In addition to pitchers discussed in the book, Passan followed around two pitchers who were trying to come back from Tommy John surgery, the procedure used to replace the UCL, the ligament in the elbow which has stress put on it in the action of throwing.…

    Just like in baseball, Exercise Science is expanding in more than one aspect. While baseball is expanding in technology with instant replay, higher quality cameras, and advanced radar guns, Exercise Science is expanding their use of technology with the use of force plates, high speed cameras, reflective markers, and motion analysis to analyze movements of baseball players. Baseball has increased the amount of aspects that can be measured of the game, like batted ball velocity, the value of a player, movement of a pitch and its spin rate, and velocity of any ball thrown on the field. Exercise Science has increased the amount of measurements that can be taken in a wide range of areas, like the mobility of the shoulder, force and momentum produced from the lower body during the pitching motion, angular acceleration and torque of the trunk during the motions of pitching and batting, and even the measurements of muscles, especially those of the rotator cuff, responsible for stability of the shoulder joint. As years go on, technology becomes more advanced, including in baseball and Exercise Science, and the use of that technology becomes more practical, which can then be used to calculate more measurements.…
