A pretest-posttest randomized cohort design was utilized, with the sample consisting of male high school and collegiate baseball athletes (males;
n=10; age=18.6±1.3 years, age range=16 to 20 years; experience=9 collegiate and 1 high schoolplayers; right handed=8, left handed=2). All participants had at least five years of previous baseball
experience and were not receiving treatment for a recent upper extremity injury (i.e., within that last 12 months).
