The relationship of grip and three-point pinch strength to ball velocity and elbow varus torque in high school pitchers

Background Hand and forearm strength play an essential role in modulating and controlling forces across the elbow during pitching. In particular, grip and pinch strength reflect functional capacity of the flexor–pronator mass, which contributes to both performance and dynamic stability of the elbow. While diminished gr...
