Omegawave: an emerging technology and application in professional baseball pitchers.
Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness 2018 September 28
BACKGROUND: Wearable technology has become increasingly popular in the recent years. Omegawave is a wearable technology used by multiple professional sports organizations. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if: (i) Omegawave readiness correlates with in-game performance for professional baseball pitchers, (ii) Omegawave ready pitchers have better in-game statistics than pitchers who are not Omegawave ready, (iii) Omegawave readiness predicts a day when pitchers are most ready to return to the mound.
METHODS: A prospective double-blinded study was performed from May 26, 2016 to September 10, 2016. Nineteen minor league pitchers (22.2 ± 1.9 years of age; seven left- and 12 right-handed; nine starting and 10 relief pitchers) were analyzed.
RESULTS: For relief pitchers, there was a weak negative correlation with opponent slugging percentage (SLG) (Rs =-0.30; p = 0.015) and a weak positive correlation with strikeouts per nine innings (K/9) (Rs = 0.30; p = 0.016). Starting pitchers who were Omegawave ready did not pitch better (p > 0.05) than starting pitchers who were not Omegawave ready. Relief pitchers who were Omegawave ready had lower (p < 0.05) earned run average (ERA), SLG, and opponent on base plus slugging percentage (OOPS) than relief pitchers who were not Omegawave ready.
CONCLUSIONS: Relief pitchers who were Omegawave ready had lower ERA, SLG, and OOPS than relief pitchers who were not Omegawave ready. This study was unable to identify a day in which pitchers may be most ready to pitch after an appearance.
