This site originally began as a personal project while I was completing my Master’s degree in Kinesiology. At the time, I found myself buried in scientific papers and realized that if I could take what I was reading, break it down, and explain it in a way others could understand, then I would truly understand it myself.

That same approach has carried forward long past the completion of my research thesis. Today, I continue to use this site as a way to learn more about the game of baseball and the science behind it—and to share what I learn along the way.

My goal is simple: to take complex research and ideas about pitching and put them into “Lehman’s terms” so you can apply what’s useful to your own baseball journey.

Sincerely,
Graeme Lehman, MSc, CSCS, BBA
