Starting next season, Nippon-Ham will consider introducing the scientific motion analysis system "Sports Biomechanics" (Biomecha) to the ESCON team. A team executive revealed on the 29th, "It may be because they are doing it in Kamagaya. It also depends on the timing, but we are considering various options."
Biomecha is cutting-edge technology that uses multiple cameras to meticulously analyze and quantify the direction of force and form. The team introduced it at their second-division facility in Kamagaya, Chiba, last season, and has been measuring pitcher under the guidance of a dedicated analyst. During this season's fall training camp, the team temporarily introduced it to ESCON for the first time, and more than half of pitcher were measured.
Starting next season, Coach Kaneko, who has extensive knowledge of biomechanics, will be reassigned to pitcher coordinator, and will make rounds to coach the first and second teams. Chief Baseball Officer Kuriyama commented, "The way we fight these days is that the farm team and the first team move forward together. We are looking very far ahead and making moves," and will use cutting-edge technology to strengthen the team in the long term.
