A few decades ago, analytics began changing baseball. It quickly found it's way into other sports: the three point revolution in basketball, going for it on 4th down in football (just to name a few). But recently...there has been a plateau. All three analytics folks that I spoke with said Biomechanics and video capture would be that next frontier. Kyle Boddy of Driveline Baseball sat down with me to discuss biomechanics, and what the future of talent development in sports looks like. Kyle is perhaps the most influential person in baseball over the past 20 years, largely responsible for the increase in pitching velocity through a variable training approach. Currently, besides running Driveline, Kyle consults for the Boston Red Sox. 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:36 Biomechanics in Sports 00:03:19 Aroldis Chapman, Boston Red Sox 00:06:20 Baseball and F1 - First Movers 00:09:00 Driveline Baseball History 00:10:18 Kyle's Background 00:15:00 Variable Training & Injury Prevention 00:23:30 Criticism 33:32 Dominicans are Different 00:39:14 Where Sports are Behind 00:43:06 Specialization Injury Issues 00:46:56 The Norway Way 00:49:06 Finding Chess Prodigies 00:53:04 Building an Arm 01:04:29 The 400ms 01:07:05 Vision Study 01:12:20 Deception 01:15:00 Manufacturing Talent 01:18:50 Brain Study 01:22:27 Shohei Ohtani 01:28:28 How Fast Can We Throw? 01:29:30 Steroids 01:32:10 Basketball Revolution 01:37:20 Sleep Study 01:40:35 Load Management Learn more about your ad choices.
