Detailed Description:
This study utilized a randomized crossover single-blind experimental design At least two familiarization tests were conducted one week before the formal trial to ensure each participant was familiar with the experimental procedures Before the first formal trial participants were randomly assigned to either the caffeinated chewing gum trial CAF with 200 mg of caffeine or the placebo trial PLA without caffeine seven days apart Figure 1 The primary outcome was the pitching and hitting performance and the secondary outcomes were hand grip strength and height of countermovement jump
