Cross-sectional study reveals variations in ball velocity and spin rate by age in youth baseball players, indicating developmental impacts.
Under these field-based testing conditions, ball velocity and spin rate were higher in older school-level groups, and cross-sectional association patterns differed by level; longitudinal studies under standardized constraints are needed to characterize within-player changes over time.
