1. A method for execution by a computing device, the method comprises:
- wirelessly collecting via a wireless communication interface from at least two accelerometers, for a pitch, per pitch data that includes a plurality of first arm orientation data points and a plurality of second arm orientation data points;
analyzing the per pitch data to determine a release point arm orientation and an effort level, wherein the release point arm orientation corresponds to one of a fastball, a curve ball, a slider, a screwball, or a knuckle ball;
calculating a per pitch stress level based on the release point arm orientation, type of pitch, and the effort level, wherein the slider has a higher weighting factor than the fastball creating, for the same effort level, a higher per pitch stress level;
calculating, for a set of pitches, a fatigue level based on the per pitch stress level of each pitch of the set of pitches; and
outputting the fatigue level via a user interface.

Abstract
A method includes collecting, for a pitch, per pitch data that includes a plurality of first arm orientation data points and a plurality of second arm orientation data points. The method further includes analyzing the per pitch data to determine a release point arm orientation and an effort level. The method further includes calculating a per pitch stress level based on the release point arm orientation and the effort level. The method further includes calculating, for a set of pitches, a fatigue level based on the per pitch stress level of each pitch of the set of pitches.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage device comprises:
-
a first memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to; wirelessly collect, via a wireless communication interface from at least two accelerometers, for a pitch, per pitch data that includes a plurality of first arm orientation data points and a plurality of second arm orientation data points; a second memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the computing device, causes the computing device to; analyze the per pitch data to determine a release point arm orientation and an effort level, wherein the release point arm orientation corresponds to one of a fastball, a curve ball, a slider, a screwball, or a knuckle ball; and calculate a per pitch stress level based on the release point arm orientation, type of pitch, and the effort level, wherein the slider has a higher weighting factor than the fastball creating, for the same effort level, a higher per pitch stress level; and a third memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the computing device, causes the computing device to; calculate, for a set of pitches, a fatigue level based on the per pitch stress level of each pitch of the set of pitches; and output the fatigue level via a user interface. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
