Baseball pitcher training device

Technical Field

The system or device of the invention relates to the field of sports, in particular baseball, so that all pitchers have the same pitching technique in a scientific way. Also, since each action has a scientific or logical interpretation, it can be used for all players who must shoot at high speed, since it can correct all irregular actions without any twisting action that could lead to injury.

Children, young adults and adults who want to throw a ball will benefit from this, including team owners, because injuries are reduced and because the reason is simple, because the pitchers will use the same pitching system without having to change the pitching technique. One of the causes of injury is primarily due to rotational movement, each coach trying to teach their student in a very specific way.

As can be seen, millions of dollars are invested in investments for the investor, with little unseen, subtle damage, but over time, this damage continues to grow, eventually rendering the investor useless, all millions of dollars paid also being in the stream. With this new system, however, all players and pitchers of the team achieve a win-win situation.

Background

The existing patents talk only about finding the hitting area, another talk about foot drop, another talk about isolating (remove) elbow and arm methods, where the elbow is placed at the same height as the shoulder, and the arm will extend over 90 degrees, but there is no scientific explanation why this should be done.

The patent number is US2007123370(A1) -2007-05-31, and the subject is a pitching technique trainer. The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for training a player to throw a ball, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for providing guidance to the player for optimal placement of his or her hands and elbows prior to the start of a ball throwing session.

In the present invention, it is discussed how to find a general technique that is applicable to all pitchers. The arm extends 180 degrees or beyond the shoulder because the longer the lever arm, the less force is required to move the weight, so archimedes in describing a three-level lever (third grade lever) indicate that the mass moved is small, but the velocity is high. The lifting of the arms over the shoulders is based on the principle proposed by galileo, i.e. if the weights are lifted and then lowered, a uniform acceleration is obtained.

As regards the bending of the elbow, this occurs when the glove arm is pulled towards the chest, i.e. the mechanism of action-reaction described in newton's third law, likewise occurs with a uniformly synchronized movement, without any pause.

Another known invention is US2009011873(a1) -2009-01-08, which consists of an artificial bowling surface. The invention describes a mound for an artificial bowling area. The artificial ball throwing area mound comprises artificial ball throwing area rubber and an artificial ball throwing area stepping assembly (stride assembly) which can be filled with micro-beads or particles. The mounds in the manual batting area can reduce the damage caused by repeated actions of baseball and softball pitchers. The artificial mound also promotes the positive development of muscle memory, the surface of which doubles the perception on the natural grass during training, making the muscles of the athlete react equally on artificial grass and on natural grass.

In the present invention, since the forefoot drop is first the drop of the toe and then the heel drop following a set course, the drop is better supported and slips less. The foot placed on the robot (bot) will fall parallel to the other foot, keeping the body falling in the sagittal plane.

The heads of all pitchers remain equally dropped because the mid-bar #8 prevents any other action, thus keeping the pitchers facing the batter and preventing the pitchers head or any part of the body from being hit in the pitching zone.

The glove arm is placed at a position lower than the shoulder height, is always higher than the middle bar #8 by being pulled towards the body, and enables the pitching arm of the pitcher to be loosened above the arm under a mandatory action-reaction mechanism and to be uniform and synchronous.

As shown in lead #2 (drawing) #3, the ball arm extends to 180 degrees set by the flexible attachment, which also causes the elbow to remain at a height above the shoulder set by the inverted L-shaped rod formed in rod #1 and lead #9 of figure #1, where the pulling force of the glove arm bends the elbow and also helps to keep the arm above the shoulder.

The inverted L-shaped bar #1 of lead #6 of figure #1 indicates that the amplitude of the drop cannot exceed the setting of the system and that the bar 5 between the distal bar #5 and the proximal bar #5 sets the amplitude of the descent of the long or short support foot, since it will accommodate the pitcher, so as not to drag the pitcher arm, thereby making all throws uniform, so that for all types of pitchers only the wrist will change, thereby avoiding injuries due to shoulder and elbow rotational movements or twists.

When a ball is placed, the elbow of the arm must pass over or reach the knee to achieve a good state of relaxation and prevent injury due to the incoordination between the voluntary and antagonistic muscles, see lead # 4.

Since 1998, I have been working on the mechanics of the pitcher and have noted that it is difficult for a person practicing a pitcher to extend the arms, since these movements are most normal for the joint movements of the shoulder and elbow, but even if endeavored, are difficult to improve. (reason for inventing this system). Since the system, all movements of the pitcher were corrected within one week and the same movement pattern was obtained.

Moreover, galileo proposes a scientific rationale part of this system: galileo states that whenever a mass falls from a height, it increases in speed in a uniformly accelerating manner, so that by lifting the arm as high as possible, it can push the mass at a higher speed, with the aid of a newton's action-reaction mechanism, pulling of the arm towards the body will bend the elbow with little effort by the arm holding the weight, producing a synchronous uniform motion concept, and similarly using the archimedes principle, i.e. when the force is between the point of support (FOOT) and the resistance, a three-level lever will be used, i.e. the knee is extended when falling, and when such a lever structure is proposed to move small objects at high speed at a lower speed, the body and the arm will be regarded as force and ball resistance.

Disclosure of Invention

The system has been invented several years ago, avoiding a large number of injuries and a large number of surgeries, as indicated before and after the use of the system. Realizes a way of ending the injury.

First, all the pitchers have the same mechanics, or from a scientific standpoint, the same motion, wherein the twisting motion is avoided, thereby avoiding the problem of headaches for both the pitchers and the owners of the team who are invested in huge amounts.

Secondly, the mechanics of the throwing hand can be changed within a week without causing injury and disease.

Third, the life of the game can be extended by a single cycle of throw (10 to 15 years assuming training with the system from childhood).

Fourth, the number of career years of the pitcher is extended (assuming training with the system starts from childhood, 7 to 55 years).

Fifth, the reduction of the pitcher's trauma from the batter hitting the ball around the pitcher area is achieved because the present system corrects the head to remain in the sagittal plane without any twisting action.

Sixth, having the player increase the speed of each shot, since no injuries accumulate with the age of the game, the increase in speed is almost predictable (110 to 135 miles assuming training with the system from childhood).

Seventh, the system does not create any difference in the out-of-arm (take out of the arm), and the motion of each person will be the same.

Eighth, let the drop of the casting hand be on the sagittal plane without any twisting action.

Drawings

FIG. 1-1: the throwing skill consists of a large number of synchronized L-shaped motions. The arm of the glove should be lower than the shoulder and face the direction of the receiver to improve the directionality of the ball and have better pulling force (newton's action-reaction mechanism). The arm extension to 180 degrees will be achieved by a flexible portion attached to the distal rod 11 and can be raised and lowered depending on the length of the arm.

FIGS. 1-2: the fall of the support foot should start with the toe, which should be directed towards the receiver and then the heel. This provides greater safety in the fall and reduces the incidence of injury (because there is less rotational movement). The arm that throws the ball should bring the elbow towards the knee (law of universal gravitation). Also, the body will move forward on its anterior axis without pushing the legs in an action-reaction, where the support point is the foot, the strength is the extension of the knee in the fall, the resistance is the ball in the hand and the extended arm, from where the ball starts to actuate (archimedes' tertiary lever).

FIGS. 1 to 3: the direction of the falling foot must be perpendicular to the automaton foot (better balance and stability of the fall), between the proximal bar or automaton and the distal bar 5, the bar 5 will shorten the fall or amplitude of the falling foot, will not drag the arm when throwing, but will from top to bottom, accelerate uniformly according to newton's law and synchronize consistently.

FIGS. 1 to 4: the leg must remain vertical (law of universal gravitation) when the ball is launched, and it can also be seen that the inverted L-shape allows the right leg to move without twisting in the right-hand throw and the opposite left-hand throw.

FIGS. 1 to 5: this figure is intended to define the arch of the foot perpendicular to the foot drop. In this figure, the foot fall limiter can be seen, which is defined by the bar 5 between the proximal bar 5 and the distal bar 5.

FIGS. 1 to 6: let the nail of the first finger in front of the ground, lift the arm: (from birth, the shoulder muscles are strengthened in this way, which is the normal action when walking and running).

FIGS. 1 to 7: this means that when the glove arms are simultaneously pulling on the chest, the elbows of the pitching arms are bent and each action is reacted, the action is accelerated evenly and the actions are synchronized evenly without any pause.

FIGS. 1 to 8: it can be seen that when the arm is extended above the shoulders, the nail of the thumb points towards the ground, the arm of the glove is below the shoulders, at the level of the middle bar 8, so that the arm is pulled towards the chest, and the elbows of the arm bend synchronously.

FIG. 2-1: the only action of the glove arm to pull on the curved elbow is one action-reaction, reducing trauma (see the laws and principles above). Since the elbow can be raised and lowered according to the height of the pitcher, the elbow can be bent to a desired height.

FIG. 2-2: the movements made must be synchronized and attempting to make a frame (column 17) formed between the bar 9 and the bar 1 in a single axis (sagittal axis) will provide a place to find the striking area, and this area can be raised or lowered depending on the height of the pitcher. In addition, the rectangle formed between the rods 9, 20 and 11 will allow the arm to be withdrawn in the normal manner without any twisting or rotational movement.

FIGS. 2 to 3: this figure implies a mechanism to raise and lower the inverted-L pole to accommodate the height of the pitcher.

Detailed Description

The system is composed of a square or rectangular tube base 4-5-. The base may be supported on wheels 4, 6, 9, 12 placed at each corner forming position, the point observed in the figure being to shorten or lengthen the system, depending on the situation (context) of the pitcher. The rectangle is divided into two rectangles by a pole 8, three vertical 6 feet tall poles #9-9-9 on the pole 8, the length of which can be lengthened or shortened, which is the position where the pole 8 is placed, the horizontal middle and upper portions 8, which will be lengthened or shortened depending on the size of the pitcher.

Bar # 8): in figure #1 there are three bars, although the number of bars may also depend on the strength of the material, but in this case the horizontal bar is labelled #8, and if iron, a central bar may be formed, and the other bars may be made of rubber material or other flexible material (as shown in figure 2). The central bar may be supported by two perpendicular distal and proximal bars supported by a square base with wheels, and at the distal end there may be another base with a vertical bar to form a square hitting bay, which may be lowered or raised to bring the ball to the desired height, see # 17.

Bar # 10-11-2): fig. 1 and 2 have a rod forming a frame or rectangle at the proximal end, can be moved bilaterally over a height of 3 to 4 feet, can be made of metal or other flexible material to correct arm separation, can be lengthened or shortened depending on the size (texture) of the pitcher and the length of the arm, and can correct both sides.

Rod # 1-2): (1) there will be another bar system which may be independent of the others, with a support base, and both arms of the inverted (L) bar can be lengthened or shortened. This will help to improve the height of the elbow when holding the ball so that all pitchers are pitching on the arm. (2) Furthermore, for a right-handed pitcher, the lower arm would be used to keep the right foot from exceeding the limits of the arm on (L), and vice versa if a left-handed pitcher.

Rod # 5-6-7): (5) there will be a proximal rod that will function as an automatic (bot), (6) will carry a line, rocker, rubber or any marked directional line extending from the right arch of the pitcher to (7) the tip of the board or home base to keep the pitching action as coronal as possible. The system may be either unilateral or bilateral, and therefore may simultaneously correct either a left or right handed pitcher.

Bar #1-9) in the distal bar between (1) and (9), a 2 foot × 2 foot frame may consist of 2 rubber feet or a 3-4 foot high paddle, see #17 in FIGS. 1 and 2, which can be raised and lowered depending on the height of the pitcher to find the hitting area, and is centered on the line from the arch to the plate.

A rod #5 between the distal rod (5) and the proximal rod #5 robot, which intersects the wire or rubber (6) from the robot to the plate or home base, will be used to control the foot fall in a long or short throw, see figure # 1.

The purpose of the central bar 8 is to prevent the head from moving laterally, keeping it in the sagittal plane, avoiding injuries caused by the bat passing through the region of the pitcher, and, in addition, to set the height of the glove arms to perform the pulling of the chest, because of the bending of the elbow.

Figure 2 is the same system as figure 1 but, as explained before, its form depends on the strength of the material, in which system an iron pipe is used, with a central bar 8 to correct the head from lateral deviation, integrated with 9 in the base 18 (possibly also without wheels).

The frame system of 1, 3 and 4 and the squares 1, 2 and 3 and the bar 2 are extended to form an inverted L which has a dual function in that it corrects the desired elbow height and it corrects the step fall of the right-handed pitcher so that it cannot pass the bar, preventing twisting movement of the right-handed pitcher's feet or left foot, and changing the system to the other way can correct the left-handed pitcher.

The lever systems 5, 6 and 7 have three functions, the 5 th lever acts as an automatic 6, with the left foot falling line on the sagittal plane, the 7 th plate facing the ball, adapting to the height of the pitcher together with the frame formed by #7, allowing the ball to be released always in the same position, correcting the hitting zone.

The rectangle formed by #20, 21 and 11 has the function of determining the height of the pitching arm, either right or left hand, which is felt when reaching 180 degrees because of the placement of some flexible appendages. The other function is to prevent any other twisting movement of the arm and to prevent injury.
