About the Rod Dedeaux Research and Baseball Institute
The Rod Dedeaux Research and Baseball Institute brings together leaders from the medical science community and the sports training community. Through their joint efforts, the RDRBI helps athletes achieve greater core strength, less risk of injury, and overall higher performance. Our belief is that, by teaching not only athletes but also their parents and coaches, we can set the groundwork for a lifetime of athletic success and health.

An integrated effort by all involved parties will research, develop, publish and apply objective information and instruction on throwing and striking biomechanics, as well as optimal physical, nutritional and mental/emotional conditioning. These four health and performance variables will be screened for imbalances, tested for athleticism, assessed for movement efficiencies and trained for parity with pre-habilitative and/or rehabilitative protocols.

Located adjacent to Dedeaux Field on the University of Southern California campus, the 10,000 square foot (930 sq. meter) RDRBI facility uses state-of-the-art technology to determine where an athlete is at greatest risk of injury and what can be done to reduce that risk.
