๐Inside the Lab: A closer look at NF MoCap- Our near real-time motion capture system.
NF MoCap captures full-body biomechanics with unmatched speed, giving coaches and athletes actionable insights in seconds.
This is more than motion capture- it's the future of development!

Up 10% from one cue: the plyo-step move into leg lift, head slightly in front of the back foot.
#BuiltInTheLab
Force leaks when it starts late. A neutral setup + a push off the back foot got this arm loading into the rubber earlier, and doubled his early force toward second base.
#BuiltInTheLab
20.27 lb โ 47.7 lb of force toward second base.
Early in the delivery. Same arm. Same session.
No new drill, just a neutral setup and one cue: push off the front foot.
+1.5 mph player velo followed.

90-92 โ 96 mph.
Four cards on the timing pattern that flagged it first, the leg-lift rebuild that changed it, and the integrated lab data that tracked it.
NewtForce case study.
"I like to be able to feel like I can walk to right field after I take my swing, no matter where I hit the ball."

Watch the leg lift. โฌ๏ธ
June: 210 lb body weight, unloading to 144. Just 66 lb of real unload.
December: same arm, unloading to 132. 78 lb of unload. The drift phase is back. So is the four mph.
Timing beats peak force.
The case study of a D1 right-hander who gained four mph by fixing *when* his ground force was happening, not by getting stronger.
#BuiltInTheLAb
A collegiate arm sat at a 0.54-second Z Transfer.
That's not a strength gap, that's a sequencing gap. The lab data flagged it before any cue change.
#BuiltInTheLab
A six-month NewtForce lab transformation.
Collegiate pitcher walks in at 90-92 in June. Walks out at 96 in December.
The signal that flagged him first was a 0.22-second YZ Transfer Back, way long for a college arm. What changed wasn't strength. It was when the force showed up.
Top MLB draft prospect @JoeyVolchko on the NewtForce integrated pitching lab.
Stopped trying to throw a straight four-seamer. Layered a sweeper. Discovered a seam-shifted sinker. And turned command from a feel thing into a quantifiable metric.

When three lead-leg metrics fail together, it is never a strength problem. It is a sequencing problem.
The numbers point upstream. Trace the mechanic. One back-foot cue can move three numbers in a single bullpen.
Setup โ Mechanism โ Math โ Cue.
Positive X force at the back foot during Nick's load phase. Translation: he was pushing through the toe, not the middle of the back foot.
That closed off the stride direction and capped lead-leg output.
One cue โ three downstream metrics moved. @FrontlineAM@CanesBaseball@nickrobertttt@DrLaz1@32JonnyA
Y Front Score 1.1. Z Front Score 1.83. Both below college peer.
Nick Robert's first NewtForce mound session surfaced the lead-leg force profile holding back his Tommy John return.
The mound saw it before the eyes did. ๐ @FrontlineAM@CanesBaseball@nickrobertttt@DrLaz1@32JonnyA
Most players do not have unlimited time to develop.
College goes fast. Pro ball, if you get the opportunity, goes fast. Even the best careers in the world have a clock on them.
That is why the feedback loop matters so much.
With NewtForce, we are able to collect motion capture and force plate mound data pitch by pitch, in real time, while the athlete is actually throwing.
Instead of waiting until the next bullpen to make an adjustment, we can see what is happening, talk through it, and make the adjustment inside the same session.
For a player trying to get better, that matters.
Because when the career window is short, the goal should not just be to work hard.
It should be to learn faster, adjust faster, and make the most out of every rep.
Signal: Y Front 1.1, below peer.
Insight: back-foot toe push closed off the stride. Application: middle-of-the-back-foot cue, water bag stability, lead leg deceleration.
91 in rehab to 97 in his debut. @FrontlineAM@CanesBaseball@nickrobertttt@DrLaz1@32JonnyA
Local JUCO pitcher. April 2025 to December 2025. +3 mph.
Z Back Score 1.16 โ 1.34. Player Velo 5.04 โ 5.86.
The lever wasn't load โ it was leg lift unload.
Built in the lab.
