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.
