This document discusses using 2D motion analysis to evaluate baseball pitching biomechanics as an alternative to 3D motion capture. It aims to determine if 2D analysis can reliably measure pitching mechanics and if parameters established from 3D can apply. The study will compare 2D and 3D measures to assess validity, measure intra- and inter-rater reliability of 2D ratings, and potentially establish standardized 2D pitching parameters if reliable measures are found. A literature review found support for reliable 2D assessment of sagittal and frontal plane motions but not transverse or multi-planar motions.
