"We have a whole bunch of research where I was hitting the ball off the bat, and they just told me to try it." Switching to a torpedo bat has been key to #WhiteSox rookie Colson Montgomery's success at the plate: https://t.co/GkbFl2XtRV

Your data’s only as good as your ability to communicate it and action it. Very proud of the work we’ve done the last few years and happy to see the impact being noticed
Hagen Smith's issues with control and inflammation were bad news, but a good example of how the White Sox have finally developed a proactive approach to biomechanics.

So exciting to see the growth of biomechanics into other professional sports and through such a well thought-out and organized initiative. Kudos to everyone involved!

It was a great honor to be nominated and to be named the recipient of this award. Being able to research something you're passionate about is the easiest way to make the long days/months/years all worth it and I was lucky enough to get that @usd #GoYotes
Congratulations to @ATrunt17 , recent @usd PhD grad from my lab on being awarded the 2024 USD Distinguished Dissertation Award for the category of Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and Engineering! https://t.co/cdxHPMCjUT

Arms have been working hard on the farm…fun to watch the pitching culture develop. Coaches and coordinators have been crushing it.

Aaron Trunt is working with big leaguers as they aim to swing faster, throw harder and prevent injuries before they happen. It's the latest step in the budding field of biomechanics for the 2017 Bemidji State University grad. ⚾️: https://t.co/ZDRiohPFDs

Proof that #SanfordSports has literally been doing MLB-level work with local kids! Couldn’t be more excited for an awesome colleague.
I am also excited to announce that I’ve accepted a position with the Chicago White Sox as a biomechanist. I’m very much looking forward to this new challenge and to helping bring wins to the #SouthSide #GoSox

Big s/o to our guy @ATrunt17 - he’s helped us strike a lot of batters out the last few years from behind the scenes. You can never know enough really smart people!

Happy to share my newest publication! Are you calculating joint kinetics in your pitchers using biomechanical models based off studies of the general population? You're going to want to read this... First 50 copies free ⬇️ https://t.co/jVvkXqVpLm

Baseball pitching is a well-studied area of sports biomechanics partially due to high upper extremity (UE) injury rates. Joint kinetics have not been linked directly to UE injury in pitchers but ar...
