Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: Float
  • Units: Degrees
  • Column Name: max_x_factor
  • Measurement: Maximum rotational difference (separation) between hips and shoulders

​
Description

Max X Factor marks the amount of maximum separation between the hips and shoulders before the acceleration phase begins. Hip shoulder separation is the rotational difference (twisting, transverse axis) between the hips (pelvis) and shoulders (trunk). Max X factor indicates the maximum amount for pre-load range of motion prior to pitch delivery. Increasing X factor provides more time and space for accelerating the ball.
