Last week, the SMML had 6 students attend and present on a wide variety of baseball and softball topics at the 2023 SEACSM conference. As always, we are proud of their hard work and dedication to the field!🥎⚾️ Gretchen Oliver

Install of the 17-camera Auburn Baseball Team's #markerless #motioncapture system finishing up. Great things to come from Sports Medicine & Movement Laboratory w/tons of data coming their way. Collaboration between diff University entities such as Kinesiology Departments and Athletics makes too much sense.

New research: "Softball Pitchers' Body Segment Girths Are Associated with Varied Biomechanics at Ball Release of the Pitch." - ⬆️ segment girth (throwing arm, chest, waist) was associated with ⬇️ horizontal abd at BR of the 🥎pitch. Gretchen Oliver europepmc.org/article/med/36…

Really cool look at the new KinaTrax system that Auburn is using this year which is described as “markerless motion capture technology”. Broadcast noted that they’re one of two SEC clubs to use it and it’s a six figure investment. 2 CWS trips = new toys for Butch Thompson.

Get ready for the #MLB Combine & MLB Draft this summer with in depth biomechanical data. Newly installed KinaTrax systems at Auburn Baseball & Arkansas Baseball capture a number of the top programs in the country.

This year’s ISBS Annual Conference is one for the books! The highlights include (1) presenting on the relationship between trunk energy flow and softball hitting performance, and (2) reuniting with my Sports Medicine & Movement Laboratory fam🥎⚾️ Kenzie Friesen Jessica Downs Talmage @kww_DL Kevin Giordano Gretchen Oliver

Here is a sneak peek into the Sports Medicine & Movement Laboratory from Auburn Kinesiology - thank you for sharing Gretchen Oliver. We can't wait to see what's next! #Theia3D #markerless Head over to the lab webpage for more info: sportsmedicineandmovementau.com

How does a doubleheader impact different softball pitch-type performance? How effective is a 30 minute recovery period? This study, published this week, digs into how fastballs, drop balls, changeups, and curveballs change over a simulated double header. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/19…

Last week Auburn pitcher Joseph Gonzalez missed a start. He wasn't injured. Auburn takes us inside the pitching lab where they found the issue, detailed the plan to get him back, and revealed his status for next weekend: d1baseball.com/sec-extra/aubu…

President Trump won big because more Americans believed he will fix Inflation, secure our border, support legal immigration, bring peace to the world through strength and put America first. I pray and I believe he will work for all Americans, uniting us as one nation under God!
