MLB Tommy John Injury Prevention

MLB pitcher throwing heat

Inspiration

To eliminate the scourge of Tommy John injuries in MLB, international and amateur baseball players

What it does

Uses mongodb atlas to collect a sample of hard throwing MLB pitchers and analyzes their deliveries. Deliveries are segmented into "compact" or "extended" arm-stride positions

How we built it

Used the handy AI prompt in Atlas to generate a chart to illustrate that pitchers who used a "compact" delivery never experienced a Tommy John injury

Challenges we ran into

Time

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Using data to promote health and hopefully shine a light on ways to remediate the devastation of Tommy John injuries, which has threatened the health and livelihoods of millions of baseball players
