Using Blast Motion to Help Your Team

BACKGROUND:

The use of technology in baseball has rapidly increased over the past couple years. In today's game, players and coaches have access to high-tech analytic technology such as Trackman, Statcast and FlightScope, to name a few[1]. Pitchers are using Edgertronic High Speed cameras to see how the ball releases off their hand to enhance pitch manipulation and Rapsodo for further ball flight information such as spin rate and spin axis.

With a majority of this industry focused on pitching, hitting technology was beginning to fall behind. But thanks to ball flight analysis from HitTrax and Rapsodo, along with swing analysis from bat sensors like Blast Motion, the days of various hitting coaches telling a player something uniquely different about what may be wrong with their swing are dwindling as these technologies provide concrete, quantifiable data. At Rawlings, we currently use Blast Motion to assist in the development of our hitters.
