Your Mechanics, Decoded by 8ctane AI
Upload two videos of your swing or pitching delivery. 8ctane's AI evaluates 18 biomechanical checkpoints and builds a personalized training program from your results. No sensors. No lab visit. Just your phone.
No credit card required.
How It Works
From phone video to personalized training program in five steps.
Record
Capture two angles of your swing or delivery — side view and back view. Portrait mode, 6–10 feet away, 2–4 seconds.
Upload & Select Frames
Upload your videos. Our tool extracts frames and lets you select the key moment — bat-to-ball contact for hitting, front foot contact for pitching.
AI Analysis
Our AI vision model evaluates 18 biomechanical checkpoints across your entire movement sequence — load, stride, contact, follow-through.
Get Your Report
Each checkpoint is classified as Positive, Developing, or Focus with plain-language explanations, severity ratings, and frame references.
Train Smarter
One click generates a personalized training program — lifts, mobility work, drills — matched to your specific movement inefficiencies.
What We Analyze
8ctane's AI engine analyzes up to 42 frames across two camera angles, evaluating 18 biomechanical checkpoints from load to follow-through.
Hitting Mechanics
- Hip-shoulder separation at front foot contact
- Pelvis tilt
- Torso rotation at front foot contact
- Head position at front foot contact
- Head position at ball contact
- Pelvis rotation at stride and foot contact
- Lead leg block from foot contact to ball contact
- Bat relative to spine angle at load and foot contact
- Stride length relative to height
- Bat relative to spine angle at ball contact
Pitching Mechanics
- Arm timing at front foot contact
- Max external rotation (layback)
- Horizontal abduction / scap load at foot contact
- Pelvis orientation at foot contact
- Trunk vs pelvis separation at foot contact
- Back leg action down the mound
- Trunk position through ball release
- Lead leg block (extension)
Every biomechanical checkpoint is adjusted based on age and skill level. This allows our analysis to work for youth athletes through professional players.
What Your Report Looks Like
Every checkpoint classified. Every insight explained in plain language. No jargon, no angle measurements — just what you need to know.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
Pelvis rotated open toward pitcher while torso remains closed at foot contact, creating clear visible separation between lower and upper half.
Torso Rotation at Foot Contact
Torso shows early rotation with chest partially turned toward pitcher at foot contact. Still somewhat loaded but not fully closed.
Head Position at Ball Contact
Head neutral and stable through contact with eyes level. Minimal head movement during rotation, maintaining visual tracking.
Lead Leg Block
Front knee remains deeply bent through ball contact without extending. Limited ability to stabilize rotation with the front side.
Bat to Spine Angle at Load
Bat angle moderately deviates from perpendicular to spine during load phase. General alignment present but not optimal for early plane entry.
Stride Length
Stride length approximately half of body height with stable base width at foot contact. Balanced posture maintained through rotation.

COPPA Compliant
Safe for youth athletes of all ages
Our models are developed in partnership with 8ctane Baseball in Raleigh, NC — a training facility equipped with Trackman, force plates, Proteus, and 3D motion analysis systems. Research contributions from BYoung Physical Therapy and The Running PTs ensure our programs prioritize arm health and injury prevention alongside performance.
I ran assessments for my entire varsity roster in one afternoon. The reports gave me specific things to address with each kid — and the generated programs saved me hours of planning.
Coach Johnson
High School Baseball, Texas
I finally understand what my son's mechanics look like without needing a biomechanics degree. The report explained everything in terms I could actually act on.
Sarah M.
Baseball Parent
Gained 8 MPH on my fastball in 7 months. The assessment pinpointed exactly what was holding me back and the program addressed it week by week.
