Development of pitching analysis system using baseball-type sensor, SHIBATA Shohei;NARUO Takeshi;KASE Yuto;YAMAMOTO Michiharu;MORI Masaki;URAKAWA Kazuo;HIROSE Kiyoshi;JINJI Tsutomu, The Proceedings of the Symposium on sports and human dynamics, 2017, 0, B, 3, 2017, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers,
The purpose of this study is to develop the system analyzing pitching data using baseball-type sensor and to examine the accuracy of the developed system using Doppler radar system (Trackman baseball, Trackman) and high speed camera. The developed baseball-type sensor in this study, which consists of accelerometer, gyroscope, and Magneto-Impedance sensor, measured 6-axis acceleration, 3-axis angular velocity, and 3-axis magnetic field. The weight, moment of inertia, and material in baseball-type sensor was the same as a normal baseball. The spin rate of pitched ball was calculated from data of 3-axis magnetic field using zero crossing method. The spin axis of pitched ball was calculated from data of 12-axis sensor using the sensor fusion by extended Kalman Filter. The measurement experiment was conducted to indicate the accuracy of the developed system. The spin rate calculated by the proposed method was corresponded with the spin rate obtained by the Doppler radar system (r = 0.99, R2 = 0.99). Also, it was indicated that the developed system could measure the low spin rate (less than 8.3 rps) which Doppler radar system could not measure. In overthrow data, it was indicated that the spin axis calculated by the proposed method was corresponded with the spin axis obtained by the Doppler radar system. From these result, the developed system can be used to evaluate baseball pitching skill with high accuracy.

C3 Mathematical analysis of the baseball pitching model based on a double pendulum, JINJI Tsutomu;OHTA Ken;OZAKI Hiroki, The Proceedings of the Symposium on sports and human dynamics, 2011, 0, 459, 464, 2011, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Some studies have reported that movements of forearm and wrist has several rolls to perform a baseball pitching. However dynamical mechanism of the forearm and the wrist are still unclear. As a step toward understanding the rolls of forearm and hand in baseball pitching, we investigated how non-muscular (e.g. centrifugal. Coriolis, and gravity) forces of the each link generates, absorbs, and transfers mechanical energy in order to produce maximum velocity. This was accomplished using multi-body power analysis derived entirely from dynamical equations of a 3D double pendulum with moving pivot model. In order to analyze based on this model, collegiate male baseball pitchier arm movements were captured by motion capture system with IkHz sampling. The analysis clarified that mechanical energy of the hand segment was transferred through internal force which was mainly dominated by centrifugal force, although muscle torque applied to the wrist joint absorbed the mechanical energy of the hand segment rather than increasing the energy.

Characteristics of ball spin pitched by baseball pitchers in the period of development, JINJI T;;;;Tsutomu JINJI;Shinji SAKURAI;Takuya SHIMIZU;Yasuhiro SUZUKI, Research journal of health and sport sciences, Chukyo University, 49, 1, 21, 27, 2008, It has been reported that the spin axis of a pitched baseball differs between adult pitchers and youth pitchers (Tezuka and Himeno 2001). However, that information was based on visual observation, and has not been determined quantitatively. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ball spin orientation and spin rate of youth pitchers compared with those for adult pitchers. In addition, the development of the throwing motion and factors in the determination of spin rate were discussed. Fourteen youth baseball pitchers (13.9±1.2 years) and nine collegiate baseball pitchers (20.1± 0.8 years) were selected as subjects. All of them were classified as over-hand style pitchers. The baseball was filmed immediately after the ball release using a high-speed video camera (250 Hz). The direction of spin axis and the spin rate were calculated using positional changes of drawn marks on the ball surface. The direction of the spin axis was defined by two angles, θ(azimuth) and φ(elevation). The angle between spin axis and pitching direction (α) was also obtained (Jinji and Sakurai 2006). Mean values of the angles of the spin axis showed no significant differences between youth pitchers and collegiate pitchers. As for variations within each trial, however, youth pitchers were significantly more inconsistent than collegiate pitchers. Although youth pitchers have acquired similar pitching motion to adults on average, their motion was often unstable with large variations. There was a significant difference in the mean values of spin rate between the youth pitchers and collegiate pitchers (p<0.001). Moreover, the spin rate correlated significantly with the initial ball velocity (p<0.001). Pitchers with a higher initial velocity achieved a notably higher spin rate. It was concluded that a pitching motion that increased the ball velocity consequently increased spin rate.

Medical assessment on shoulder and elbow joints of juvenile players of baseball club in Aichi Prefecture, ;;;;;Takuya SHIMIZU;Yasuhiro SUZUKI;Shouji KONDA;Tsutomu JINJI;Shinji SAKURAI, Research journal of health and sport sciences, Chukyo University, 48, 1, 1, 6, 2007, The purposes of this study are to clarify when and which characteristics that have been supposed to be the cause of "baseball shoulders" such as instability, subacromial impingement and SLAP lesions observed in adults develop them. We had medical check of forty juvenile baseball players (av.12.3 years). They belong to the same baseball club in Aichi prefecture. One senior sports doctor measured range of motion and examine tenderness points, sings and laxities of the bilateral shoulder and elbow joints. External rotation of the first position of the dominant side was significantly greater than that of the non-dominant side. External rotation of the third position of the dominant side was significantly greater than that of the non-dominant side and internal rotation of the third position of the dominant side was significantly less than that of the non-dominant side. There ware little pathological signs in shoulder and elbow joints of these juvenile baseball players. One player showed positive anterior load and shift test of the shoulder of dominant side and six showed those of non-dominant side. Seven players showed positive posterior load and shift test of the shoulders of dominant side and fifteen showed those of non-dominant side. Five players showed positive sulcus signs of the shoulders of dominant side and eight showed those of non-dominant side. The nine players who had positive sulcus signs on either dominant or non-dominant side had significantly less internal rotation of the third position than the other players. Whereas the eighteen players who had positive posterior laxity on either dominant or non-dominant side didn't have significantly less internal rotation of the third position than the other players. Positive sulcus sign suggests inferior laxity. This means inferior laxity has different role on developing posterior tightness of the throwing shoulder from posterior laxity.

Relation between the Supporting Leg and the Velocity of the Ball by Instep Kick and the Fundamental Part of Supporting Leg, ;;;Tomonori MOCHIZUKI;Tsutomu JINJI;Kagemoto YUASA, Research journal of physical education,Chukyo University, 43, 1, 31, 38, 2001, The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between the joint angle and horizontal velocity of the supporting leg and the velocity of the ball by an instep kick as powerful as possible. Subjects were 3 male students who were skilled members of the college soccer club and 3 male non-skilled persons. In this study, the velocity of the ball, foot, greater trochanters and knee and angle of the knee were analyzed three-dimensionally (3-D). The results were as follows : (1) A significant correlation (r=0.903) was found between the velocity of the ball and the velocity of the foot. (2) Skilled persons kicked the ball using good waist rotation. This rotation is a factor which increases the velocity of the ball. (3) Skilled persons fixed the supporting leg, the angle of the knee was about 150 degrees and the velocity of the knee was lower than in non-skilled persons.

Six pitchers belonging to the university baseball team did the actual pitching for this study and were filmed using the direct linear transformation method of three-dimensional (3D) videography. Several factors determine the initial velocity. Toyoshima^<4)> mentions that the sharp rotation of the waist is one of the big factors. Moreover, the importance of the lower limbs is frequently mentioned on the actual coaching scene. The results of this study are mentioned below. 1. The waist changes its motion from advance to rotating 0.1 sec before the foot lands on the ground, and the right trochanter major speeds up by slowing down the left trochanter major while the waist rotates sharply. 2. It is possible to speed up the waist angular velocity by fixing the joints of the knee and the legs when the foot is landing.

The purpose of this study is to examine the accuracy of the system analyzing pitching data using baseball-type sensor (MAQ) and to measure kinematic parameter (ball velocity, spin rate, and spin axis) of baseball pitches by various pitchers. The accuracy of the developed system using a 3D motion analysis system and the high-speed cameras were examined. The spin axis of pitched ball was calculated from data of 12-axis sensor using the sensor fusion by extended Kalman Filter. The ball velocity and spin rate calculated by MAQ and the 3D motion analysis system showed similar values (ball velocity: r = 0.95 spin rate: r = 0.90). In several data, it was indicated that the spin axis calculated by MAQ, the 3D motion analysis system, and the high-speed camera showed similar values. In addition, there was a correlation between ball velocity and spin rate over the velocity range from 6.7 m/s to 41.0 m/s (n=188). From these results, the developed system can be used to evaluate baseball pitching skill with high accuracy.

The effect of changes in hitting location on bat-swing parameters in baseball batting, Morishita Yoshitaka;Katsumata Yoichi;Jinji Tsutomu, Taiikugaku kenkyu (Japan Journal of Physical Education, Health and Sport Sciences), 64, 2, 463, 474, 16 Dec. 2019, Japan Society of Physical Education, Health and Sport Sciences, The purpose of the present study was to clarify the influence of swing parameters by changing the hitting point in space in baseball batting. Twenty-eight skilled baseball players (12 professional and 16 universitylevel) participated. The participants were instructed to hit a ball that was tossed from 5 m away in the direction of the pitching mound. The balls were tossed to various locations with reference to the home plate. The participants were required to hit the balls in a specific direction according to the tossed course, i.e., a ball tossed to the inside of a home plate was stroked toward the same-field direction and one tossed outside of the home plate was stroked toward the opposite-field direction. The motions of the ball and bat during these attempts were recorded using a motion capture system operating at 500 Hz. The 3D coordinates of the ball center (hitting point) and the swing parameters included the speed of the head of the bat (bat-head speed) and the angle of the swing from a horizontal line (swing angle) measured immediately before ball impact and the time from the start of the swing to ball impact (swing time). These parameters were calculated in each trial. Analysis of a total of 644 trials revealed that the bathead speed tended to increase as the hitting point moved inside, forward, and low. Furthermore, the swing angle and swing time tended to increase as the hitting point moved inside, forward, and high. Stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the bat-head speed and swing angle were independently associated with (in the following order) the distance in the pitcher's direction, the hitting height, and the inside-outside direction course (R2=.360 and R2=.589, respectively). These results suggest that the timing of swing initiation and bat acceleration during a swing motion are the main factors changing the swing parameters, and that in order to sharp hit a ball, it is important to impact the ball with the hitting point as close to the pitcher as possible.

The effect of changes in hitting location on bat-swing parameters in baseball batting, Morishita Yoshitaka;Katsumata Yoichi;Jinji Tsutomu, Taiikugaku kenkyu (Japan Journal of Physical Education, Health and Sport Sciences), 64, 2, 463, 474, 16 Dec. 2019, Japan Society of Physical Education, Health and Sport Sciences, The purpose of the present study was to clarify the influence of swing parameters by changing the hitting point in space in baseball batting. Twenty-eight skilled baseball players (12 professional and 16 universitylevel) participated. The participants were instructed to hit a ball that was tossed from 5 m away in the direction of the pitching mound. The balls were tossed to various locations with reference to the home plate. The participants were required to hit the balls in a specific direction according to the tossed course, i.e., a ball tossed to the inside of a home plate was stroked toward the same-field direction and one tossed outside of the home plate was stroked toward the opposite-field direction. The motions of the ball and bat during these attempts were recorded using a motion capture system operating at 500 Hz. The 3D coordinates of the ball center (hitting point) and the swing parameters included the speed of the head of the bat (bat-head speed) and the angle of the swing from a horizontal line (swing angle) measured immediately before ball impact and the time from the start of the swing to ball impact (swing time). These parameters were calculated in each trial. Analysis of a total of 644 trials revealed that the bathead speed tended to increase as the hitting point moved inside, forward, and low. Furthermore, the swing angle and swing time tended to increase as the hitting point moved inside, forward, and high. Stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the bat-head speed and swing angle were independently associated with (in the following order) the distance in the pitcher's direction, the hitting height, and the inside-outside direction course (R2=.360 and R2=.589, respectively).

A study on the pitching data analysis and useage using baseball-type sensor, SHIBATA Shohei;NARUO Takeshi;KASE Yuto;INAMO Masaya;YAMAMOTO Michiharu;MORI Masaki;URAKAWA Kazuo;HIROSE Kiyoshi;JINJI Tsutomu, The Proceedings of the Symposium on sports and human dynamics, 2018, 0, A-18, 2018, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers,
The purpose of this study is to examine the accuracy of the system analyzing pitching data using baseball-type sensor (MAQ) and to measure kinematic parameter (ball velocity, spin rate, and spin axis) of baseball pitches by various pitchers. The accuracy of the developed system using a 3D motion analysis system and the high-speed cameras were examined. The spin axis of pitched ball was calculated from data of 12-axis sensor using the sensor fusion by extended Kalman Filter. The ball velocity and spin rate calculated by MAQ and the 3D motion analysis system showed similar values (ball velocity: r = 0.95 spin rate: r = 0.90). In several data, it was indicated that the spin axis calculated by MAQ, the 3D motion analysis system, and the high-speed camera showed similar values. In addition, there was a correlation between ball velocity and spin rate over the velocity range from 6.7 m/s to 41.0 m/s (n=188). From these results, the developed system can be used to evaluate baseball pitching skill with high accuracy.

The purpose of this study is to develop the system analyzing pitching data using baseball-type sensor and to examine the accuracy of the developed system using Doppler radar system (Trackman baseball, Trackman) and high speed camera. The developed baseball-type sensor in this study, which consists of accelerometer, gyroscope, and Magneto-Impedance sensor, measured 6-axis acceleration, 3-axis angular velocity, and 3-axis magnetic field. The weight, moment of inertia, and material in baseball-type sensor was the same as a normal baseball. The spin rate of pitched ball was calculated from data of 3-axis magnetic field using zero crossing method. The spin axis of pitched ball was calculated from data of 12-axis sensor using the sensor fusion by extended Kalman Filter. The measurement experiment was conducted to indicate the accuracy of the developed system. The spin rate calculated by the proposed method was corresponded with the spin rate obtained by the Doppler radar system (r = 0.99, R2 = 0.99). Also, it was indicated that the developed system could measure the low spin rate (less than 8.3 rps) which Doppler radar system could not measure. In overthrow data, it was indicated that the spin axis calculated by the proposed method was corresponded with the spin axis obtained by the Doppler radar system. From these result, the developed system can be used to evaluate baseball pitching skill with high accuracy.

15K01566, Biomechanical Implications of Sabametrics on Baseball Pitchers Using Tracking Data, This research organized the structure of baseball and clarified what kind of fast ball should be thrown to get out. It was necessary to throw a ball with high ball speed and high lift in order to take a swing out with a fast ball. With regard to the rotational speed, which is one of the factors determining the lift, the lower the pitch, the greater the pitch. However, the direction of the rotation axis was closer to pure backspin at higher angles.;The probability that the ground ball also got out was high. And it turned out that it is necessary to throw a small lift in order to hit the ground ball. In addition, it was revealed that a lower pitched ball tends to be a ground ball because the pitching angle tends to be smaller although the ball tends to be faster than the higher pitched ball.

24700692, Identification of the roles of wrist snap in baseball pitching, Some studies have reported that movements of forearm and wrist has several rolls to perform a baseball pitching. However dynamical mechanism are still unclear. As a step toward understanding the rolls of forearm and hand in baseball pitching, we investigated how non-muscular forces of the each link generates, absorbs, and transfers mechanical energy in order to produce maximum velocity. The mechanical energy of the hand was supplied the non-muscular force, which is governed by the centrifugal force of the forearm. However, the muscle torque of the wrist absorbs the mechanical energy of the hand. It is concluded that only the wrist cannot generate a high ball velocity. The wrist, therefore, is equipped with a self-defense mechanism and provides a relatively stable base for extrinsic finger control. It is also thought that the wrist joint have a roll to apply spin a ball. The wrist joint may contribute to the rotational velocity and not the translational velocity of a ball.

24650385, Control of redundant degree of freedom regulating the accuracy of movement performance: Control strategy for determining throwing accuracy, The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the movement of pitching is controlled so that fluctuation arising at a joint is complemented mutually among joints. Data were collected from 18 semi-professional pitchers who threw a baseball from an indoor mound, by using a motion capture system with 16 high-speed cameras (1,000 Hz). A simulation motion was generated by using the direct kinematics with randomized method in which each joint angle is randomly selected from the 10 best pitches. One hundred set, one set was composed of 10 simulated motions, were generated. The standard deviations of the position, direction, and movement direction for the actual movement was compared with the 100 sets of the simulated motion. The SDs for the actual movement were much smaller than those for the simulated movements. It suggested that the actual pitching movement is controlled by some mechanism utilizing mutual-complementary coordination.

25282193, Prospective study on tying pitching mechanics, joint load, MRI image, and onset of shoulder injury, The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships among defective pitching mechanics, joint kinetics, prognosis from MRI image, and onset of shoulder injury. Among 14 college baseball pitchers and 12 semi-professional pitchers, three pitchers developed shoulder injuries during the survey: Two of them had severe glenoid labrum tear which required over 2 months for recovery.;Common features of the injured pitchers were deficit of range of motion for sternoclavicular joint and timing of abrupt increase of shear force ratio to normal force. It suggests that movement of not only glenohumeral joint but whole shoulder girdle is important to prevent shoulder injury. We could not predict shoulder injury from the joint kinetics and MRI images.
