Thirty-one college baseball pitchers participated in this study. Height, weight, lean body mass, body fat mass, muscle mass, and skeletal muscle mass were measured, and body fat percentage, body mass index (BMI), and skeletal muscle index (SMI) were calculated. Ball speed was measured using Rapsodo pitching 2.0. The baseball pitcher was asked to throw 10 full pitches from the pitcher's mound toward the catcher. Maximum ball speed was used as an index of ball speed. To evaluate sprint ability, sprint times of 10m, 30m, 50m, 100m, 200m, and 400m were measured, and running speed, momentum, and kinetic energy were calculated. Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient was calculated to investigate the relationship between the measured indices. Ball speed was significantly correlated with body weight, BMI, lean body mass, muscle mass, and SMI. In addition, ball speed showed a significant negative correlation with running speed in 200m and 400m sprints,  and showed a significant positive correlation with momentum and kinetic energy in 10m, 30m, 50m, and 100m sprints. The results of this study suggest the importance of considering body weight when evaluating the sprinting ability of baseball pitchers.}, pages = {85--90}, title = {野球投手のスプリント能力と投球速度の関係}, volume = {13}, year = {2023}, yomi = {ハセガワ, シン and クボ, セイジ} }
