Check out the latest hitting biomechanics blog from Driveline Baseball on barrel direction and bat path! This blog walks through a few key variables that describe the position and direction of the barrel at contact and how those relate to batted ball outcomes. drivelinebaseball.com/2022/12/hittin…

Introducing the OpenBiomechanics Project from Driveline Baseball: the open source initiative for anonymized, elite-level athletic motion capture data What you need to know (1/3): 🆓research-grade mocap data from DL's database 🖥️GitHub repo (data & code): github.com/drivelineresea…

Hitting biomech data collected Driveline Baseball is now available via the OpenBiomechanics Project!

Coaches love looking at hand path, but what moves the hands during the swing? In this video, the torso position is fixed. This allows us to see the hand movement in relation to the torso, essentially showing us what the arms are doing. The answer? Not a whole lot.

Always great having Nolan at the facility for an assessment and some training sessions! Cheers to the 2023 season 📈📈📈 Driveline Baseball Andrew Aydt

Couldn't agree more. One of the hardest working guys I've had the pleasure to work with Driveline Baseball

How does a hitting assessment at Driveline Baseball improve Cardinals hitters like Nolan Arenado and Lars Nootbaar? Hitting coach Andrew Aydt tells Matt Pauley 🎙️ on Sports Open Line. Listen: audacy.com/kmox/podcasts/…

Excited to share that I will be joining the Toronto Blue Jays as a biomechanist. My time at Driveline has been an unbelievable experience. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with some of the hardest working and brightest minds in baseball. Excited for this new challenge!

Joey brings up a good point here. Bat speed alone will not make you a great hitter, and how you train bat speed matters a lot. I know. I know. Try to contain your astonishment. However, there are a few things I would like to point out 👇

If a hitter is "rolling over" to the pull side, the answer is rarely, if ever, telling them to stop pulling the ball. The problem isn't that they are pulling the ball; the problem is that they are bad at it. What causes rollovers? 👇

In most pitching research, there’s an underlying belief that “better” mechanics lead to less stress. Philosophically, I think this idea is internally consistent. Unfortunately, I don't think it applies in most player development situations. It's almost always the opposite.
