Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between lumbopelvic control and pitching performance among baseball pitchers. Four baseball pitchers participated in this pilot study. Each participant underwent measurements for lumbopelvic control ability in static posture and dynamic movement, as well as pitching performance assessments. The results indicated a significant correlation between lumbopelvic control in the static posture of the stride leg and pitching velocity (Rs = -1.0, p < 0.01), as well as a significant correlation between lumbopelvic control in dynamic movement and pitching velocity (Rs = - 0.90, p = 0.04). Therefore, lumbopelvic control during pitching could play a pivotal role in enhancing pitching velocity. Coaches and practitioners should prioritize strategies aimed at improving these aspects to potentially enhance pitching velocity.
