I bet they do
I don't know how many organizations have developed an entire program, but I bet a few have. It makes too much sense.

The king
Except when he gets lit up by the Rangers:

Intersting article, though.
Hmmmm...
I don't know
In terms of training and readiness to compete, sounds like a good plan. Since in-game, even in-season adjustments have to be made in minutes, don't know about how useful a full spectrum video analysis would be, in season. However, anybody who is sent out for rehab or down for remedy might really benefit.

It's "pre-hab"
The A's gather all the information regarding a pitcher's mechanics while they are healthy and effective. That way, if the pitcher is injured or goes through a period of ineffectiveness, they have evidence of what the mechanics were like when all was well. They can also identify the stresses, arm angles, etc. and come up with a reasonable workout regimen.
No A's starter has had a major elbow or shoulder injury in the past five years as far as I know. The ones who come out of the A's minor league system are particularly healthy (arm-trouble wise), IIRC.
