Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: Float
  • Units: m/s
  • Column Name: max_trunk_com_velocity
  • Measurement: Maximum linear velocity of trunk center of mass

​
Description

Max trunk COM velocity measures the maximum linear velocity of the trunk center of mass during the pitch. This indicates the peak forward velocity of the trunk segment as we assume the max velocity will be oriented towards home plate. Increasing trunk linear velocity (with all else held constant) will increase pitch speed.

​
Use Cases

  • Trunk velocity assessment
  • Power generation analysis
