Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Movement Flag
  • Data Type: Integer
  • Units: N/A
  • Column Name: release_phase_off_arm_to_body_position
  • Optimal Direction: Lower is better
  • Unknown Value: -1
  • Measurement: Loading Phase Ball Release Angle at Ball Release
  • Threshold: Ball toss angle greater than 180° or less than 90°

Description

Release phase off-arm to body position is a binary indicator that flags when the non-dominant (tossing) arm angle relative to the torso falls outside the acceptable 90°–180° range at ball release, which can indicate an inconsistent or poorly placed ball toss.

Use Cases

  • Toss placement and consistency
  • Mechanics evaluation
