Full textAbstract:
It has become very popular to view the human as a processor of information, with reaction time (RT) used in various ways to measure the speed of information processing. In many sports quick decisions are essential to success. It is tempting to study reaction time, infer information-processing ability, and use the results to make predictions about success. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between various RT and movement time (MT) measures [simple RT, simple MT, simple total response time (TRT), choice RT, choice MT, choice TRT, and information-processing ability as determined by the increase in RT from simple to eight-choice conditions] with batting average, slugging percentage, and total average. 40 varsity baseball players from Colorado State University, University of Wyoming, University of Utah, and Brigham Young University were given 24 practice attempts followed by 48 experimental attempts for both simple and choice RT and MT. These scores were then correlated with batting averages, slugging percentages, and total averages. This research demonstrated no relationship between the various measurements of reaction and movement times and offensive ability in baseball.

Objectives: Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR) is a common procedure in professional baseball position players. Timing of return to hitting following UCLR is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the time to return to batting milestones after UCLR as well as the effect of UCLR upon batting performance in professional baseball players. The authors’ hypothesized that position players would return to batting in an in-season game prior to fielding in an in-season game and hitting performance would remain unchanged following UCLR Methods: All professional position players who underwent UCLR between 2010-2018 were included. Time to batting milestones following UCLR was analyzed. Batting performance before and after UCLR was compared and analyzed. Results: Overall, 141 UCLRs (96% performed on the dominant arm) in 137 position players were included (86% minor leaguers). Four players underwent revision, all within one year of the primary UCLR. With regard to position, catchers and shortstops were over-represented. With regard to batting side, 57% batted from the right and 12% batted as switch-hitters, and thus 76% of surgeries were on the lead arm. While 91% of players were able to return to any throwing at all, there was a progressive gradual decline during the rehabilitation progress such that 77% were able to return to hitting in a real game and 75% were able to return to fielding in a real game. The first dry swing occurred at 150±49 days after surgery, first batting practice occurred at 195±58 days after surgery, and first hitting in a real game occurred at 323±92 days after surgery. However, players generally saw a decrease in their utilization, with fewer at bats (p<0.001) translating into fewer hits (p<0.001) and runs (p<0.001). Conclusion: Professional position players begin swinging at 150 days following UCLR while they do not hit batting practice until 195 days and do not hit in a real game until 323 days following UCLR. Players saw a decrease in hitting utilization following UCLR. [Figure: see text]

Background: The effect that an anterior cruciate ligament injury requiring reconstructive surgery has on the professional advancement and performance of amateur baseball players selected in the Major League Baseball draft is not known. Return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in professional athletes has been shown to be high, but mixed results with regard to performance and return to preinjury level have been demonstrated in other sports. Purpose: To (1) investigate the highest level of professional advancement among Major League Baseball draftees with a history of ACLR before entering the draft, (2) examine how much time these players spent on the disabled list (DL) and determine if it was related to the knee, and (3) compare the batting and pitching performance of these players against healthy matched controls. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Predraft medical records of all players selected in the Major League Baseball draft from 2004 to 2008 were reviewed. Players with a documented anterior cruciate ligament injury treated with ACLR before the draft were included. For each study player, 3 controls were identified. Data were accumulated from the time when players were drafted through the 2015 season. Outcome variables included highest professional level of advancement, DL time, and batting and pitching performance. Results: Forty draftees with a history of ACLR (22 pitchers, 18 position players) were identified and matched to 120 controls (66 pitchers, 54 position players). The difference in the highest level of professional advancement between the groups was not statistically significant ( P = .488). The mean total number of times and the mean total number of days on the DL were similar between the groups (1.83 vs 1.47, P = .297; 121.54 vs 109.62, P = .955); however, the mean number of times on the DL because of a knee injury was significantly different (0.28 vs 0.11, P = .004), as was the mean number of days on the DL because of a knee injury (17.36 vs 7.72, P = .009). Among pitchers, there were no differences in performance. Similarly, there were no differences among position players in batting performance. Conclusion: There was no difference between draftees with a history of ACLR and their controls in terms of advancement from the minor to the major leagues. Additionally, pitching and batting performance were similar. Although the 2 groups spent similar time on the DL, the ACLR group spent more time on the DL because of a knee injury than the control group.

However, players generally saw a decrease in their utilization, with fewer at bats ( P < .001) translating into fewer hits ( P < .001) and runs ( P < .001). Conclusion: Professional position players begin swinging at 150 days (approximately 5 months) after UCLR, while they do not hit in batting practice until 195 days (approximately 6.5 months) and do not hit in a real game until 323 days (approximately 10.7 months) after UCLR. Players see a decrease in hitting utilization after UCLR. On average, players hit in a real game 20 days before fielding in a real game.

Full textAbstract:
Laboratory measures of visual reaction time suggest that some aspects of high-speed ball games such as cricket are ‘impossible’ because there is insufficient time for the player to respond to unpredictable movements of the ball. Given the success with which some people perform these supposedly impossible acts, it has been assumed by some commentators that laboratory measures of reaction time are not applicable to skilled performers. An analysis of high-speed film of international cricketers batting on a specially prepared pitch which produced unpredictable movement of the ball is reported, and it is shown that, when batting, highly skilled professional cricketers show reaction times of around 200 ms, times similar to those found in traditional laboratory studies. Furthermore, professional cricketers take roughly as long as casual players to pick up ball flight information from film of bowlers. These two sets of results suggest that the dramatic contrast between the ability of skilled and unskilled sportsmen to act on the basis of visual information does not lie in differences in the speed of operation of the perceptual system. It lies in the organisation of the motor system that uses the output of the perceptual system.

Background: An ongoing challenge in sports-related concussion (SRC) is determining full recovery. This study examines performance metrics in baseball after an SRC and provides a template for assessment of return-to-performance parameters. Purpose: To determine whether batting performance returns to baseline after an SRC. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiological study. Methods: Participants were all Major League Baseball (MLB) position players with confirmed SRCs that occurred during the 2011-2015 seasons. A retrospective review and assessment of performance metrics before and after injury were conducted as defined relative to the number of plate appearances (PAs) to yield reliable performance statistics. Seven batting metrics were considered as outcomes in longitudinal regressions: batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, on-base plus slugging, bases on balls, strikeouts, and home runs. Metrics were calculated for each player 60, 30, and 14 days before their SRCs, as well as for the 14, 30, and 60 days after returning to play. Other variables controlled for included defensive position, player age at the time of SRC, number of days missed, mechanism of injury, whether the player completed a rehabilitation stint, and year in which the mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) occurred (2011-2015). Results: A total of 77 MTBI case events occurred in MLB position players over 5 seasons. These injuries resulted in a mean 11.4 days lost to injury. For all performance metrics using 60 or 30 days before MTBI as baseline, no statistically significant differences were found in batting performance. In total, 63 events met PA criteria before injury. Varying the PA cutoff thresholds to be more inclusive or more restrictive yielded similar regression results. For the 48 events that met PA criteria before and after injury, most performance metrics showed no significant performance change after MTBI and, in some events, a slight though mostly nonsignificant performance improvement after MTBI. Conclusions: MLB position players who are medically cleared to return to play after an SRC perform at the same offensive performance levels as their preinjury statistics when an adequate number of PAs is used to compare performance before and after injury.

Background: Osteochondral autograft transplant (OAT), a surgical treatment for capitellar osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), has favorable rates of elbow recovery and return to sports in adolescents. However, few reports have investigated how long patients continue to play baseball after OAT and their satisfaction with their treatment outcome. Purpose: To evaluate the rate of boys who played baseball and received OAT for OCD in junior high school or earlier (age <15 years) and continued to play baseball in high school and the players’ satisfaction with their elbow function during play. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 32 elbows of boys who played baseball and received OAT at age ≤15 years (mean, 14.1 years) were examined and divided into pitcher (n = 11) and nonpitcher (n = 21) groups according to their player position before surgery. The clinical Timmerman-Andrews score at the end of their high school baseball, participation percentage of players who continued to play baseball, and satisfaction level during play (on a scale of 0-10 during pitching and batting and in a 4-choice format) were compared between the 2 groups. Results: The Timmerman-Andrews scores significantly improved after surgery in both groups, with no significant difference between the groups. Of the 32 players, 30 (93.8%) continued to play baseball throughout high school, including all players in the pitcher group and 19 (90.5%) of those in the nonpitcher group. The percentage of players who continued to pitch was 55.6% (6/11) in the pitcher group. Satisfaction with elbow joint function at the time of pitching was significantly lower in the pitcher group. Further, 5 players reported being “a little unsatisfied” because of elbow pain during pitching. All of the players indicated satisfaction with elbow function during batting. Conclusion: The percentage of players who received OAT for OCD in junior high school and continued to play baseball in high school was favorable. However, satisfaction with elbow function during throwing was lower in pitchers than in nonpitchers. Clinical Relevance: Before surgery, consent should be obtained from patients who are pitchers after it is explained that satisfaction with elbow joint function during pitching could be decreased after OAT.

Full textAbstract:
Batting is known to be one of the most complex motions in sports. Successful hitting may be influenced by many factors, one of which is response time (RT). Response time is known to be altered by various training techniques such as isokinetic and isometric weight training. Eighteen, right-handed female college softball players were measured for RT with three methods, experimental in design, using an Automatic Performance Analyzer.In addition, hitting performance was determined through film analysis of bat velocity while swinging at a ball delivered from a pitching machine. A Locam camera was used for the cinematography techniques.From this initial testing, three equivalent groups were formed. One group served as a control, while the other two groups performed two contrasting seven week isotonic training programs: 1) a rapid dynamic (RD) group performed many, quick light weight activities; while, 2) the slow exercises. The rapid dynamic group had their exercises triggered by an auditory stimulus. Following the seven week training program, RT and batting performance were again determined. Pre- and post-training response times were analyzed using an analysis of variance and covariance with p=0.05.The results of the RT post-test analysis indicated that response times were not significantly decreased for any of the tests. Film analysis was inadequate to make any conclusive judgments on bat velocity.The following conclusion is warranted from the results: isotonic weight training did not significantly decrease response time for either the slow dynamic or rapid dynamic group.

Batting reaction time has great effect on performance. Generally, elite players perform better ability on the reaction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the batting reaction time and hand-eyes coordination between elite and sub-elite baseball players. Twenty-two players of Chinese culture University participate in the test. EMG technique is utilized to detect batting reaction on brachioradialis muscle of lead hand while the player preparing to swing; hand-eyes coordination is measured by Chen’s hand-eyes coordination measurement to test left and right hand of each player. Independent T test and paired T test are used to exam the difference between elite and subelite, right and left hand, individually. The results reveal that elite players perform faster batting reaction time than sub-elite ones (p<.05) in fast and slow ball speed; both groups show no significant difference on hand-eyes coordination time on right or left hand (p>.05); significant difference (p<.05) of hand-eyes coordination time between right and left hand occurs in sub-elite players belong to right-hand dominantly group. All results will provide useful information about reaction ability to the coaches and being a reference to target setting on training and talent identification for baseball players。

The Analysis of Relavent Factors on Baseball Batting Performance and Swing Time Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore a baseball hitter’s swing time and whole body reaction time at different pitching speed. We analyzed and discussed a hitter’s swing time, the relationship between swing time and batting average, whole body reaction time and batting average, and whole body reaction time and swing time. Using product-moment correlation analysis, we collected and examined 15 testers’ basic data. We employed experimental equipments to measure whole body reaction time. Besides, we examined swing time at different pitching speed, calculated batting average of a year, and investigated the relationship among swing time, whole body reaction time and batting average. The average age of the 15 testers was 29.9, average height was 176.5 cm, average weight was 81.7 kg, and average year as a baseball player was 19. The testers were asked to swing as the pitching machine pitched at two different speed, 120km/hr and 130km/hr, respectively. We recorded the tester’s swing movement with a video camera. Then, we examined his swing time and used whole body reaction timer to measure the whole body reaction from different angles. A product-moment correlation analysis was employed to determine whether the variables were correlated. The results are as follows: (1) A significant correlation was found between whole body reaction time and batting average (P<.05). (2) A significant correlation was found between whole body reaction time and swing time at different pitching speed (P<.05). (3) A significant correlation was also found between swing time and batting average (P<.05). (4) From the results described above, there exists a strong association between whole body reaction time and swing time. It is one of the most important factors that would influence the hitter’s batting average. Key words: swing time, batting average, whole body reaction time.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 20 days vibration training and jump rope training on baseball players’ lower limbs’ power (CMJ), take-off reaction time, base-running velocity from home to first after batting and 5m base-running velocity after batting of baseball players. Twenty-six adult baseball players (excellent university and substitute service of professional baseball teams) were involved in this study with the average age and height weight were 2.3±2.46yr、174.6±4.51cm、and 79.23±7kg, respectively. Pretest (T-1) included 4 tests. The CMJ and take-off reaction time was basic test of sport capacity, base-running velocity from home to first after batting and 5m base-running velocity after batting were specific test of sport capacity. Subjects was divided to group A (vibration training) and group B (jump rope training by CMJ performance in matched-pair designed ( each group have 13 people). Group A and B started 20 days training, there were 4 times training in 10 day and separated at least 1 day. Group A were stimulated by vibration frequency at 40Hz, and amplitude at 2mm, in 2 movements of vibration training and proceeded 5 sets, each set performed 60s, and set rested 40s. Group B proceed 2 sets × 5 times × 10s of jump rope training by personal best performance, set rest interval was 2 min, and each time rest 30s. Middle-test (T-2) was proceeded in 10 days and posttest (T-3) was proceeded after training. Results showed that CMJ of Group A and B had significant improvement after 20 days training (p<0.001、p<0.01), but there was no difference between groups. Reaction time of Group A and B were significant improvement (p<0.001), but there was no difference between groups. Base-running velocity from home to first after batting of group A and B were significant improvement (p<0.001) and group A was significant higher than group B to 0.32 m/s (p<0.05); 5m base-running velocity after batting of group A was significant improvement (p<0.01), but group B was not significant improvement and group A was significant higher Group B in 0.34 m/s (p<0.05). Conclusions of the study were vibration and jump rope training can improve CMJ, take-off reaction time, base-running velocity from home to first after batting, 5m base-running velocity after batting, but base-running velocity from home to first after batting and 5m base-running velocity after batting were significant different between groups.

This paper presents one element of a larger project that probes for systematicand predictable patterns of variability/volatility in baseball's descriptivestatistics. The larger project standardizes many baseball indices along anevent metric and provides relative estimates of each index’s point of inflectiontoward an empirical asymptote. Specifically these estimates reflect deviationsin sensitivity to “sample size” (e.g., which descriptive statistics are more orless robust across events). The end purpose of this broader investigation is aqualifier to be associated with such statistics: sample size sensitivity (TripleS). Not because it's needed, but because, colloquially, discussions of baseballstatistics are commonly qualified by the cautionary statement, "well, it's asmall sample size". The current presentation highlights the process and resultsof estimating the logarithmic event function of one statistic, batting average,and we will provide real-time projections of accuracy (our estimated functionversus in-coming baseball data that occurs during the CARMA conference).Results have implications for the integration of BigData applications intodigestable summary statistics that appeal to a broad-reaching audience withpractical implications and meaning.
