After some research by the Journal of Athletic Training, in which they tested high school baseball pitchers to see their rotational movement in their shoulders, we can see that pitchers have a better range of motion than position players. The test was conducted on high school baseball players, both pitchers and position players, who were each measured and weighed before testing. After running through the tests and several different motions, the study shows that pitchers have a better range of motion than position players due to the overhand motion they repeatedly make.
