The analysis of some aspects of the technique can help to
explain the athlete’s performance, injuries and his/her future possibilities.
With the information that we present in this blog I’m not intended to replace a
scientifically organized evaluation process, but just to play with the
available information.
Mr. Moss has history of a left ankle and knee osteochondral
defect in 2008.
During running his landing occur in front of the body with
the heels. Observing him running from behind we can see the landing with the
external aspect of the heel, rolling forward through the external aspect of the
foot and ending in a rolling movement of the foot inwards. This rolling creates an external
ankle compression and internal knee compression.

External rotation of foot creating internal compression of knee |
While batting, the left foot remains in the same position during
the complete cycle creating a torque at the left knee level. At the end of the
rotation the left knee is hyper extended what increases its internal compression.

Conclusions: moderate risk of injury in the right and left knee and
ankle.
