Taylor & Francis The Biomechanics of Batting Swinging and Hitting
Book SynopsisIn the movie Bull Durham, frustrated manager Joe Riggins stresses to his team, This is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball. This simplification works well for biomechanists too, as sports can be broken down into specific physical tasks like throwing, hitting, catching, and running. There have been significant advances in understanding some actions, but not others. In the first ten years of the journal Sports Biomechanics, only 18 of 236 articles were about hitting a ball.
