aBold indicates statistically significant within- or between-group difference. UCL, ulnar collateral ligament.
bWithin-cohort P values were calculated with 1-way analysis of variance with correlated samples.
cAll distances were measured from the center of the mound in meters on x- and y-axes.
dNonpaired 2-tailed t tests were calculated between cohorts, with P = .0167 used for significance.
