Description
Pelvis angle to plate foot contact measures the pelvis rotation angle relative to home plate at the instant of lead foot contact, where facing home plate is 0 degrees.Normative Ranges
Percentile distributions by competition level from the 2026 Q1 dataset; the optimal range spans the 25th–75th percentiles.Use Cases
- Pelvis position assessment
- Timing evaluation
