💬 Now that the MLB regular season has come to an end, it’s the right moment to look back and evaluate what it truly costs teams in terms of player health.

💰 $1,016,677,930.00

That’s over one billion dollars that MLB teams lost this season to players on the Injured List.

👉 And that’s only MLB

👉 MiLB is not even counted.

⚠️ Now here’s the shocking part:

$644,179,941 — that’s 63.4% of the total — was due to pitching injuries alone.

The single largest expense: $641,625,909 tied directly to injuries we’ve been warning about for years at #BaseballActionID:

• Tommy John surgeries
• Shoulder surgeries
• Elbow injuries
• Lat injuries
• Oblique injuries
• … and the ever-increasing knee injuries in pitchers

All this despite:

• 📊 endless biomechanics data
• 💻 advanced tracking software
• 📱 wearable tech
• 🎥 high-speed cameras
• 🧮 motion analysis models

Still… the problem is only growing.

🚨 The Hard Truth

Pitchers are not machines 🤖.
Biomechanics alone is not the whole story.

Every athlete carries a natural movement code — what we call motor preferences.
When that code is ignored, the result is:

❌ inefficiency
❌ overload
❌ injuries

But when that code is respected:

✅ healthier pitchers
✅ enhanced performance
✅ longer careers

⚾️ Enter #MotorBall

At BaseballActionID, we recognise the blueprint written inside every athlete.

• Pitch design aligned with natural motor preferences
• Data that reflects optimised individual blueprints instead of forced mechanics
• A system that prevents overload instead of creating it

🔥 So here’s the real “Did You Know?”

In 2025, MLB organisations lost over $1 billion to injuries.
👉 63.4% of that cost came from pitchers alone.

These numbers show the urgency — but also the opportunity.
By aligning with each pitcher’s natural blueprint, we can move from reacting to injuries toward building healthier, longer, and more effective careers.

👉 That’s exactly what #MotorBall is about.
