Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the hand movement during the baseball catching motion. Finger and palm pressure distributions in the baseball gloves were measured during the catching motion by using Glove Scan system. Results showed that grasp motion was initiated with high pressure on the fingertip, then it was completed by the pinching motion with high pressure on the thumb and little and/or ring fingers. Player do not initiate grasp motion when feedback the force on the band, but initiate it with prediction of ball motion into the baseball glove.
