Dr. David Mann is a Sport Scientist with 20+ years in sport, academia, and clinical practice and
currently an Associate Professor at Vrije University in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Dr. Mann co-authored, “The Success of Sinister Right-Handers in Baseball”, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in October of 2017 whose research revealed that that players who throw right-handed and bat left enjoy a biomechanical advantage than those who bat and throw left or bat and throw right. Their study debunked a prior 1982 study by Mclean and Ciurczak, also published in the NEJM, which claimed that lefty hitters and lefty throwers had the biomechanical advantage.
Dr. Mann’s background includes a research fellow in the Faculty of Human Movement Sciences at Vrije University, a Research Assistant Professor in the Institute of Human Performance at the University of Hong Kong; Clinic Director and Senior Lecturer in the School of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia); and Skill Acquisition Specialist at the Australian Institute of Sport (Canberra, Australia).
