Wake Forest has an entire pitching motion lab which they use to help develop their pitching 
WF pitching lab

Do we do anything like that?

from the website:

Our Pitching Lab was designed and crafted to set the standard on capturing and reporting an athletes biomechanical and pitch trajectory data. 

We have over 20 high speed motion capture and slow motion cameras to record every little player movement.
We have force plates built into the pitching mound to measure forces such as leg drive and landing.
3D Doppler radar system that precisely measures the location, trajectory and spin rate of hit and pitched baseballs

This seems like a no-brainer for Stanford!

The Chemistry Department could be helpful, as depicted in the movie "It Happens Every Spring"

A college professor is working on a long-term scientific experiment when a baseball comes through the window, destroying all of his glassware and spilling the fluids that the flasks and test tubes contained. The pooled fluids combine to form the chemical "methylethylpropylbutyl," which then covers a large portion of the baseball. The professor soon discovers that the fluid, along with any object with which it makes contact, is repelled by wood (cf. Alexander Fleming's serendipitous discovery of penicillin).

Suddenly, he realizes the possibilities and takes a leave of absence to go to St. Louis to pitch in the big leagues, where he becomes a star and propels his team to the World Series.
