Lab under construction? No problem! We can take our

systems to our second home! Thanks
@PLNUBaseball
for participating in this cool study and to our partners
@padres
for being gracious hosts!
Freshly painted and turfed out! We’re T-12 days til opening day. The crew is working around the clock making sure every piece of tech is properly installed and operational.

lab is coming very soon! ⚾️🥼📈
Congratulations to our very own
@baxter_halligan
for successfully defending his thesis on the “Impact of arm path on joint kinetics and pitch velocity in professional ⚾️ pitchers” Our first student-led analysis of in-game data!
Lab outings are where the real fun begins! Led by Dr.
@Arnel_Aguinaldo
, the team of
@PLNU
faculty and grad students work tirelessly on player evals and emerging research.
Tonight, we got to celebrate our work with our partner
@padres
at the last home game of the season!
My son got invited to pitch at the new PLNU Biomechanics Lab that the Padre pitchers use. We are stoked.
@PLNUBiomechLab
are the best people. Amazing facility and opportunity. Just gotta keep working hard.
Taking the lab on the road (well down the street for us) this week to work with
@UnionBsbSystems
on mocap of 16u pitchers. Great experience for the newest members of our lab! ⚾️💪🏽
We grieve with our extended Padres family and pray for Peter Seidler and his family. A compassionate and true visionary whose legacy will impact our community for many years to come.
I had never written an obituary about a friend. I don’t use that term lightly. A reporter rarely ends up truly being friends with someone they cover. But Peter was a special man.
God bless his beautiful family.
Padres Chairman Peter Seidler dies at 63
Last Friday, we hosted the first San Diego Baseball Sports Medicine meeting with excellent talks by Hillary Plummer (
@padres
), Tyler Wilps (
@UCSDHealth
), Greg Appelbaum (
@UCSDOptiLab
), and our lab director
@Arnel_Aguinaldo
. Plus, the lab was buzzin all day with mo-captures!
Excited to share that I've started a new position as an Applied Biomechanist with the Chicago White Sox! Looking forward to working with the team in Arizona and embarking on this new journey. Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way.

‘s Advanced Sports Biomechanics class. This week we’re covering energy flow of ⚾️ & 🥎 hitting!

While our focus is ⚾️ biomechanics, we are also well equipped to examine the kinematic, kinetic, and EMG patterns of various human movements as demonstrated by
@plnu
undergrads analyzing hurdling mechanics in our runway volume.

🚨Today, we celebrated the news of our new joint
@padres
and
@plnu
biomechanics lab, opening this fall after years of planning. We thank the Padres for hosting us this evening at the game for a big W!

Yes! This is the “bat cave” in our lab and it features 4 force plates in the box, full motion capture, bat swing sensors, and a hitting simulator for a full-body 3D kinematic and kinetic analysis of hitting! 🦇⚾️🟤🟡🟢
