| | ASB: FULL AND PARTIAL-EFFORT BASEBALL PITCHING (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) |
 | | The conditions were: 100% effort from a standard-height 10" mound, 75% effort from a 10" mound, 50% effort from a 10" mound, 180' crow-hop throw, 120' crow-hop throw, 60' crow-hop throw, 100% effort from a 13" mound. |
 | | At 75% effort, pitchers produced approximately 90% of the velocity and 85% of the force and torque as produced during full-effort. |
 | | Although there were some differences in mechanics, pitching with reduced effort appears to be useful for a pitcher in training or rehabilitation who does not want to overload his arm. |
