Dr. Michael Sonne is the VP of Research and Innovation for ProPlayAI, a company focused on measuring and describing human motion. Mike is also the research director for the Baseball Development Group in Toronto, Canada, as well as an adjunct professor at Brock University. At Brock, Mike and his graduate students focus their research on better understanding the measurement and analysis of pitching mechanics. Mike has also written about pitching biomechanics for The Athletic, Hardball Times, FanGraphs, and Baseball Prospectus. Mike’s workload metric, Fatigue Units, is widely used in the MLB as a better physiological representation of pitching workload, and the metric was recently included in the Motus Baseball app.

In his prime, he hit 88 mph on the radar gun. Now retired from Baseball, he’s integrating all that practical experience with a passion for biomechanics to better understanding pitching mechanics and injury.
Dr. Mike Holmes is a Canada Research Chair in Neuromuscular Mechanics and Ergonomics. Currently an Assistant Professor at Brock University, Holmes runs the Neuromechanics and Ergonomics research laboratory where the primary research focus is occupational injury mechanisms of the upper body. Beginning baseball research in 2018, the focus was on mechanical differences between professional pitchers who have and have not had UCL reconstruction surgery, then using this data to develop a posture-based tool to evaluate pitchers at front foot strike.
Dr. Colin McKinnon is an applied biomechanics researcher at ProPlayAI Inc. His research, including his graduate degrees (MSc and PhD) from the University of Waterloo in Kinesiology, has centered around human performance, workload guidelines and injury risk reduction during occupational and high performance activities. A sports addict his whole life with a personal background in high level contact sports (football, hockey and rugby), Colin is now building his biomechanics skill set into analysis of pitching mechanics with PitchAI.
