Baseball Anticipation Study

ONLINE RESEARCH STUDY... PITCH DISCRIMINATION IN BASEBALL

In this research we want to know how and when skills related to pitch discrimination and decision making develop in baseball athletes and what these skills look like at various levels and types of playing experience (pitching and batting).

Phase 1 of this online study is with children and adults from the ages of 13 years to 21 years.

We want athletes with little to no experience playing baseball (~1-2 years of baseball) to high experience (University/varsity teams) and everything in between.

If you would like to learn more about this study and are interested in getting involved, or getting your child involved, please e-mail research personnel in the Motor Skill Lab (Zach and Georgia); email: kin.msl@ubc.ca
