Hi, I’m Koji Fukutani. In this video, I share my third visit to NEXTBASE ATHLETES LAB. I did Pitching Biomechanics and a Physical Test to understand how to improve my performance. Based on the latest results and expert advice, I’m rethinking my training methods. I hope you find this video helpful. Stay tuned for the next one!

Hello everyone it’s kutani this time I visit the next base a love for the S time I’ll talk about what this facility is and what I was here to do this facility is in ichikawa City Chiba just about 40 minutes from Tokyo Station by train and taxi it’s a sports science
Research and development center for all athletes they use high level equipment to measure performance and expert analyst give personal plans to improve our performance it seems to be the first facility of its kind by a private company in Japan as you can see many professional baseball players visit this
Facility I personally think this facility is like the Japanese version of dve bline baseball this time I came to this facility to do pitching biomechanics and physical test I will explain each one simply before that let me show you part of my warmup this facility is well equipped
With a variety of tools for stretching and warm up I personally appreciate being able to throw plier balls and medicine balls on the mount on the other hand it’s a bit disappointing that I can’t do long toss due to the limited space of this facility my pitching mechanics were
Evaluated with motion capture systems and for sprad the evalation items are energy creation and transfer body flexibility finger movement and so on they also can calculate the stress on the elbow to prevent injury my strength and power were measured and my current physical level was eval these results help decide my training
Direction to sum up I visit this facility to evaluate my pitching mechanics numerically and get suggestions from what kind or training I need to increase my pitch speed it is interesting for me to find the relation between the numbers of ping biomechanics and the evaluation of phical
Test other sometimes I participate on in their pit design program pit design is a Improvement of my breaking balls or creating new ones for that they measure pitch speed spin movement and so on with rough s and capture how the ball is released with highspeed cameras this will be necessary in the
Future but it’s not yet the results of my physical test were better in all categories compared to last July I was glad that my training has paid off and relieved the pitching speed of this time was about 1 miles slower than in January of last year but Hest 3 still better than I
Expected from the relation between the numbers of pitching biome mechanics and the evaluations of physical test I realized there are room for improvement in how I use my back leg and little leg I will try the training methods and the control of body center of gravity that I was
Taught it is so interesting to see the process my feelings are transformed into numbers this visit has again given me a chance to grow as a baseball player I’m excited to see how my pctures changes from now on and I’m looking forward to visiting they again there are
Different three things I can only do there but I’m sure that I need to do something similar so I have to reconsider my training environment I hope you find this video helpo thank you so much see you soon
