Effect of finger–ball friction on upper limb movement during fastball pitching in baseball

Effect of finger–ball friction on upper limb movement during fastball pitching in baseball

Abstract This study investigated the effect of the friction between the ball and fingertips (finger–ball friction) on upper limb movement during four-seam fastball pitching in terms of the centrifugal force acting on the ball. Eight skilled pitchers threw four-seam fastballs at approximately 130 km/...
