The WVU Baseball Biomechanics and Performance Center is officially up and running for the Mountaineer baseball program. Thanks to a generous lead donation from West Virginia University alum, Ken Kendrick, the 8,200-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility, outfitted with cutting-edge performance technology including Trackman, force plates, motion capture systems, and advanced data analysis tools—will enhance player evaluation and training capabilities but also serves as an innovation hub for students and faculty in the WVU School of Sport Sciences.
The West Virginia University School of Sport Sciences and the WVU Baseball Biomechanics and Performance Center are partnering to elevate sport sciences education and baseball performance by combining science, technology, and applied learning to set new standards in athletic performance and professional preparation across all disciplines in the School of Sport Sciences.
A key component of the partnership is a new role that connects the School of Sport Sciences and the Baseball Biomechanics and Performance Center. This position within the School of Sport Sciences will lead the center's daily operations while contributing to teaching, research, and outreach in sport biomechanics and related areas.
