In this episode of The Sports Engineering Podcast to kick off the new year, we're joined by Dr. Mike Sonne, pitching scientist for the Chicago Cubs, to explore how biomechanics and workload science are changing modern baseball. Mike breaks down fatigue units, the limits of pitch counts, and why today’s game has moved beyond the iconoc 'Moneyball' film into a new era of performance-focused analytics, sharing insights on keeping pitchers healthy while maximising performance.
