Purpose: This study is to investigate the relationship between pitcher’s ball speed, shoulder muscle strength, and proprioception. Methods: Thirteen high school pitchers participated in this study. Ball speed was measured using a speed gun. A dynamometer and an electrogoniometer were used to measure the strength and proprioception, respectively, for both internal and external rotations in the shoulder. Results: This study demonstrated that pitcher’s ball speed was correlated with muscle strength and proprioception of shoulder internal rotation. Conclusion: This result will help to provide the basic knowledge for sports rehabilitation and athletic performance.
