My name is Grayson Medico.
I am a student @ New College of Florida 28’ and play Baseball.
Bridging the Gap Between “Feel” and “Real”
Baseball has always been filled with traditional wisdom—cues and mechanics that have been passed down for decades. But as a player, I often found myself asking: Is this actually true? Or is it just what we’ve always been told?
I created this project to find those answers.
The Mission
My goal was to take high-level, open-source biomechanics data and make it accessible. I wanted to move beyond the guesswork and see the actual correlations that drive velocity, health, and efficiency on the mound.
As a Player: I wanted to make more informed decisions about my own training, understanding how my body moves and how to optimize it for peak performance.
As a Coach: I wanted to ensure that the advice I give isn’t just repetition, but rooted in fact. This project allows me to help other athletes develop faster and safer.
Powered by Open Data
This analysis utilizes data from the OpenBiomechanics Project, a revolutionary open-source initiative that provides high-fidelity motion capture data to the public. By leveraging this resource, we can democratize access to elite-level sports science, proving that you don’t need a million-dollar lab to learn the truth about the game.
