ATLANTA, GA - December 22, 2025 - Kinetic Arm announced that new baseball biomechanics research featuring its dynamic arm stabilization technology was selected as one of only five abstracts presented on December 10, 2025, at the 2025 MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando, Florida. The MLB Winter Meetings represent baseball’s premier offseason event, bringing together executives, performance directors, analysts, and sports medicine leaders from all 30 Major League Baseball organizations and more than 120 Minor League affiliates.
The research was conducted at Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) by a professional performance analyst and evaluated the acute effects of a dynamic arm stabilizer on pitching mechanics. Using advanced markerless 3D motion capture technology—the same caliber of biomechanical analysis now widely adopted across MLB organizations—the study assessed how dynamic arm support influences joint loading and throwing performance during pitching.
The findings demonstrated significant reductions in elbow varus torque and shoulder distraction force, two biomechanical loads commonly associated with increased stress on the throwing arm. Importantly, these reductions occurred without any decrease in ball velocity or change in maximum shoulder external rotation (MER), indicating that performance output and natural throwing mechanics were preserved.
Elbow varus torque and shoulder distraction force are widely recognized in baseball biomechanics literature as high-risk stressors that contribute to arm fatigue and breakdown over time. The ability to measurably reduce these forces without altering velocity addresses one of the most critical challenges in modern baseball: protecting the throwing arm while maintaining competitive performance standards.
By leveraging dynamic, dual-joint stabilization that supports both the shoulder and elbow simultaneously, the research suggests a scalable approach to arm-care programming across professional, collegiate, and developmental levels of the game. Unlike traditional compression sleeves or rigid braces, dynamic arm stabilization is designed to work with natural movement patterns rather than restrict them, making it applicable during real-world throwing activity.
“We’re honored to have this research selected among only five studies presented at the MLB Winter Meetings,” said Jason Colleran, Founder and CEO of Kinetic Arm. “The findings reinforce the importance of applied biomechanics and data-driven innovation in how baseball approaches arm care, workload management, and long-term performance," added Jason Colleran.
The use of markerless motion capture further strengthens the relevance of the research, as this technology allows pitchers to throw naturally without movement interference—mirroring how biomechanics assessments are increasingly conducted within professional baseball environments.
Selection at the MLB Winter Meetings underscores the growing emphasis across the sport on evidence-based solutions that support arm health while preserving performance. As pitching demands continue to intensify at every level of play, research-driven approaches to managing arm stress are becoming an essential component of modern player development and performance strategy.
