Kinematic data (position data) of eleven baseball pitchers who performed 25 fastballs recorded with a VICON motion capture system. The pickle-files (version 4.0) contain the position data of a static anatomical reference posture ('STATIC') and a fastball pitch motion ('PITCH') the landmarks attached to our subjects according to the modified plug-in-gait model1. The anatomical landmarks of the static posture and pitch motion are organised in Python dictionaries containing pandas DataFrames (version 1.1.0) with the X, Y and Z coordinates. For more information about the data read the original paper2 and/or send an e-mail to corresponding author of the article: a.j.r.leenen@vu.nl. References 1. Vicon R©.
