At the @uspbl, this is how we begin to frame the process of increasing health/function to improve performance and spring training gives us a starting point.

We collected 255 shoulder ROM tests across 40 pitchers.

The clearest finding:

74.9% of tests showed a dominant-side shoulder flexion deficit.

The average Flexion Diff was -4.7°.

We also collected DVS metrics to understand delivery efficiency and arm injury risk.

Average DVS Score: 12.9 / 24
8 of 39 pitchers scored 16+
That tells us there is plenty of room for growth.

This is the value of baselines.

They give each pitcher a clearer understanding of where he is, what needs to improve, and how to take ownership of his development.

Next week, the development system begins.
