FEATURES
Ball Flight
- VELOCITY: How fast a pitch is traveling during flight, measured in miles per hour (MPH).
- STRIKE ZONE ANALYSIS: Instantly see Strike Zone feedback while automatically tracking Strike Percentage and Heatmap Breakdowns.
- SPIN RATE: The rate at which the ball spins during flight, measured in rotations per minute (RPM). There is a stronger correlation between spin rate and swinging-strike percentage than between velocity and swinging-strike percentage.
-
SPIN EFFICIENCY: The percentage of spin directly impacting the movement of a pitch. Spin Efficiency is the ratio of true spin to total spin.
- TRUE SPIN RATE: The spin directly impacting the movement of a pitch. Also known as “useful spin,” it is perpendicular to the direction the ball is traveling, deflecting the otherwise straight horizontal and vertical path of the ball
- PITCH BREAK: How much a ball has moved when it crosses the strike zone compared to what its position would have been without spin. Break is measured horizontally and vertically in inches.
-
SPIN DIRECTION: The tilt or angle of the baseball from the release point, measured in degrees, created by the Magnus effect. The Magnus Effect is created by the air pressure surrounding the spinning baseball on its path to home plate.
- 3D TRAJECTORY: The ballflight is show in two trajectories. A dotted line represents what the pitch would have done without spin and the solid line represents the actual movement of the pitch
Release
- RELEASE HEIGHT: The height of the ball at the point of release
- RELEASE HEIGHT: The height of the ball at the point of release
- RELEASE SIDE: The distance away from the center of the rubber from the left (-) or the right (+)
- HORIZONTAL ANGLE: The horizontal angle the ball was released out of the hand from the left (-) or the right (+)
