Pearls and Pitfalls of the Utilization of Wearable Technology

Pearls	Pitfalls
Routinely check the position of the device on the elbow to ensure consistent measurements	The elastic athletic sleeve may slip down the arm during pitching, skewing the measurements over time
Manually record measurements in real time after every single pitch to avoid erroneous recordings	The device indiscriminately records all sudden movements as pitches, making it difficult to retrospectively review pitching data with high accuracy
