SSL Lab Tours

The Sports Science Laboratory (SSL) specializes in the dynamics of bat and ball collisions. The results of this work help regulating agencies better understand equipment performance through experimental testing and numeric models. The lab is certified with the NCAA, USA Softball, and USA Baseball and contracts with bat and ball manufacturers to verify compliance and evaluate prototype products.

Sports Science Laboratory tours and batting cage demos will take place on Monday, June 1, at 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. Sports Science Laboratory tour groups will be limited to 20 participants per tour, and batting cage demos can accommodate five batters during each hour block.
