During the past two decades, more than 2,000 baseball pitchers have been tested at the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI) in Birmingham, Alabama.  The wealth of data has led to numerous scientific publications for physicians and others.

Pitchers from youth leagues to the Major Leagues are evaluated at ASMI.  The biomechanical evaluation helps a pitcher both minimize risk of injury and maximize performance.  The evaluation is based upon ASMI’s knowledge of biomechanics, baseball, orthopaedics, physical therapy, and strength & conditioning.

 In addition, a biomechanical evaluation can be packaged with strength & conditioning  and/or pitching instruction.  To find out about scheduling an evaluation and/or the cost, please contact Dave Fortenbaugh, Ph.D. at (205) 918-2119 or davef@asmi.org.
