Upper extremity pitching mechanics during the fastball by event of pitching motion

	TOB	FC	BR
	Mean, SD	Mean, SD	Mean, SD
Shoulder Horizontal Abduction (°)	72 ± 34	18 ± 44	-3 ± 44
Shoulder Elevation (°)	127 ± 29	123 ± 18	15 ± 11
Elbow Flexion (°)	35 ± 22	24 ± 18	31 ± 15
Ball Velocity (mph)	-	-	41 ± 7

* indicates statistically significant difference p ≤0.05

TOB  =  Top of Back Swing; FC  =  Foot Contact; BR  =  Ball Release

Shoulder horizontal abduction: (-) denotes in front of torso, (+) denotes behind torso; Elbow flexion: angle is reported in reference to the extended line of the humerus
