Mayo Clinic-ASU Summer Research team members (L-R) ASU Baseball's Charles Leddon, seated, Dr. Matthew Anastasi, physical therapist John Zajak and researcher Carter Jones look at the analytics and pictures of one of the Sun Devil pitchers in the indoor bullpen filled with high-speed cameras of ASU’s Phoenix Municipal Stadium on Friday, September 20, 2024. The camera on the right side shoots video at 2500 frames per second and focuses on the pitcher's hand. The group focused their research on orthopedic surgery and baseball injuries. The research project was based on the need to help find ways to reduce the incidence of shoulder and elbow surgeries in youth baseball pitchers. The Department of Orthopedic Sports Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Arizona has excellent clinical and research faculty that have developed relationships with Sun Devil Athletics as medical providers and created a joint venture baseball biomechanics pitching lab. They worked to increase the research output for the department and to delve deeper into the biomechanics of baseball through the emerging biomechanical models currently being used by Major League teams. ASU Assistant Teaching Professor Charles Leddon combined his extensive MLB and college baseball athletic training experience with Mayo Clinic physicians and a physical therapist.
