aKnee flexion: (+) flexion, (–) extension; normalized stride length: % of body height; trunk flexion: (+) flexion, (–) extension; trunk rotation: 0° = facing forward to the catcher, 90° = rotated toward the pitching arm side; trunk lateral flexion: (+) toward pitching arm side, (–) toward glove arm side; normalized shoulder flexion/extension: (+) flexion, (–) extension; normalized shoulder abduction/adduction: (+) adduction, (–) abduction; normalized shoulder rotation: (+) internal rotation, (–) external rotation; center of mass (%), right to left: (>50%) left side, (<50%) right side; shoulder distraction/compression force: (+) compression, (–) distraction.
