Managing UCL health requires a careful balance
Managing UCL health requires a careful balance. Overuse, poor mechanics, and high workloads are constant threats to pitchers’ health and performance. Even with diligent training plans, the unpredictable nature of pitching makes monitoring risks and maintaining efficiency an ongoing priority for coaches and coordinators.
Why choose the ORYX Pitching Analysis System for UCL care?
The ORYX Pitching Analysis system provides a new way to address UCL health. By tracking workload, timing, and throwing mechanics in real time, it offers the insights needed to optimize performance, prevent overload, and build injury-resilient pitchers—all without disrupting your workflow.
Why early intervention matters:
- Timing and Technique: Small disruptions in coordination can quickly escalate, leading to overload on the UCL.
- Performance Sustainability: Protecting the UCL isn’t just about avoiding injuries; it’s key to maintaining long-term athletic performance.
- Targeted Insights: Understanding the root causes of strain helps refine training programs and reduce risk.

IMU sensor technology: Precision beyond markerless video
Our Pitching analysis goes beyond traditional movement metrics like joint angles and ranges of motion. By leveraging the precision of IMU sensors, we measure the internal dynamics of movement with exceptional accuracy—capturing insights that are often missed by markerless systems.
This deeper level of analysis allows us to monitor how energy flows through the kinetic chain, identify timing disruptions, and assess throwing mechanics in real-world conditions. With this information, coaches and coordinators can make informed, data-driven decisions to protect the UCL while enhancing performance.
