See What AI Sees in Your Mechanics
Upload two videos of your swing or pitching delivery. Get a full mechanical breakdown with 18 metrics — and a personalized training program built from your results. No sensors. No lab visit. Just your phone.
Your first assessment is free. 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, 2–20 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 mechanical metrics across your entire movement sequence — load, stride, contact, follow-through.
Get Your Report
Each metric 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, plyos, drills — matched to your specific movement inefficiencies.
What We Analyze
Our AI analyzes up to 42 frames across two camera angles, evaluating 18 mechanical metrics 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 metric is age-adjusted. A 14-year-old developing arm slot is evaluated differently than a college junior's.
What Your Report Looks Like
Every metric 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.
From Assessment to Program
Most assessment tools stop at the report. We build the program.
AI Matches Your Inefficiencies to Exercises
Your identified movement inefficiencies — like early arm timing or limited hip-shoulder separation — are matched to exercises from our library using semantic search.
Strength, Plyos & Sport-Specific Drills
Programs include strength work, plyometrics, and sport-specific drills designed with input from former MLB players and licensed physical therapists. Every exercise targets your specific weak points.
Manage, Track & Update
Programs can be managed, tracked, and updated inside the 8ctane platform. Reassess every cycle to track progress and update the program.

Who It's For
Coaches & Trainers
Scale your ability to evaluate mechanics. Run assessments for your entire roster without booking lab time. Use generated programs as starting points you can customize.
Parents
Get objective, data-driven feedback on your kid's mechanics. Understand what's developing normally and what needs attention — in plain language, not coach-speak.
Athletes
Know exactly what to work on. Stop guessing at drills. Get a program built around your movement patterns, not a generic template.
Built by People Who've Been There
8ctane is backed by former MLB players, physical therapists, and sports scientists. Our AI models are built on years of professional experience — not just data.
Former MLB Players
Led by professionals who played at the highest level
Evidence-Based
Grounded in MLB experience, PT, and sports science
Videos Never Stored
Only frames uploaded for analysis
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.”
Marcus T.
Professional Pitcher
