A state-of-the-art baseball biomechanics lab at West Virginia University has drawn interest from some of the sport’s elite. Remarkably, the lab operates with a student staff.
In Morgantown, West Virginia, the lab is bustling with activity. During a crucial period of the baseball season, Paul Skenes, an MLB Cy Young award winner, visits. He stands in the lab’s immersive environment, examining data displayed on a computer screen.
Skenes discusses observations with nearby students dressed casually in sweatpants. His focus then shifts to a specific marker on the floor. White LED lights cast reflections as Skenes prepares for a pitching assessment.
With a deep breath for concentration, he raises his left leg while lowering his right arm. This brief motion sends the baseball 60 feet forward in mere seconds.
