The Research Rundown (Ep. #3): Paul Buchheit (Philadelphia Phillies) & Nick Jensen (Milwaukee Brewers)

On this episode of Research Rundown, a series from Inside Athletic Training, Philadelphia Phillies' Paul Buchheit is joined by Nick Jensen of the Milwaukee Brewers to examine how pitch tracking data is being used to identify potential warning signs associated with acute UCL injuries in MLB pitchers.The guys break down how changes in velocity, movement profiles, and pitch characteristics may relate to injury risk, what trends are actually meaningful, and how this information can be applied in real-world settings. Jensen also shares insight into the current limitations of this approach and how athletic trainers and medical staffs can balance data with clinical judgment.To review the study, click here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41588808/For more information about PBATS and athletic training, visit pbats.com.
