President Trump won big because more Americans believed he will fix Inflation, secure our border, support legal immigration, bring peace to the world through strength and put America first. I pray and I believe he will work for all Americans, uniting us as one nation under God!

How does a doubleheader impact different softball pitch-type performance? How effective is a 30 minute recovery period? This study, published this week, digs into how fastballs, drop balls, changeups, and curveballs change over a simulated double header. https://t.co/FiSJsOdPqk

Current pitching efficiency metrics (velo / torque) leave something to be desired. I understand the allure.

Get ready for the #MLB Combine & @MLBDraft this summer with in depth biomechanical data. Newly installed KinaTrax systems at @AuburnBaseball & @RazorbackBSB capture a number of the top programs in the country.

Really cool look at the new @KinaTraxInc system that Auburn is using this year which is described as “markerless motion capture technology”. Broadcast noted that they’re one of two SEC clubs to use it and it’s a six figure investment. 2 CWS trips = new toys for Butch Thompson.
Auburn featuring their scouting and analytics tonight on the SEC Network broadcast 🔥 The improvement and advancement of analytics in college baseball is unbelievable. The game 5 years ago seems ancient.

Install of the 17-camera @AuburnBaseball Team's #markerless #motioncapture system finishing up. Great things to come from @SMML_AU w/tons of data coming their way. Collaboration between diff University entities such as Kinesiology Departments and Athletics makes too much sense.
