Carlos A Guanche, MDINTRODUCTIONTHROWING MOTION- Throwing in baseball has been analyzed extensively,
with the specific maneuvers being broken down into
six phases (Gowan et al, 1987). While the analysis
of the baseball throw is the best understood and
most studied, other throwing, racquet and overhand
sports have also been evaluated. The mechanics of a
baseball throw are transferable, for the most part, to
other sports with some modifications depending on
the size of the ball or the maneuver being analyzed.
The baseball throw, by virtue of its speed and fre-
quency, however, is the most traumatic to the shoul-
der.
