mThrow by Motus is a smart throwing sleeve and iOS app for baseball pitchers that collects and analyzes key metrics relating to pitching mechanics. Designed to be worn every time you throw, mThrow collects 3-Dimensional motion data relating to your every throw to calculate workloads for your arm, and recommends daily throw limits to help maintain your arm health. In addition, mThrow delivers immersive training sessions to assess your bullpen performance to help you create more deception as a pitcher.
