How Samantha Judge Examined MLB Pitching Mechanics Through Kinesiology
Samantha Judge’s graduate research at California State University, Fresno, examined the relationship between pitching mechanics and susceptibility to UCL injury among Major League Baseball players. Her 2017 master’s project focused specifically on posterior elbow angle during the throwing motion, bringing together kinesiology, biomechanics, athletic performance, and injury prevention. Fresno State recognized the project as its Outstanding Master’s Degree Project in Kinesiology for 2017. The research represents an important part of Judge’s academic background and provides a documented connection between her kinesiology training and her continued involvement in endurance athletics and sports-related advocacy.
