It's in the Game
Posted by Nick
Statsology is a cool site looking at "sports data innovations and developments." In this post we find out about a new system that:
will focus three cameras on the tunnel between pitcher and batter, allowing them to three-dimensionally measure the speed, location and trajectory of pitches. (We’ll be able to see whose fastballs really do have late movement, and perhaps whose hits come off the bat hardest.) Each system costs about $40,000. MLB has signed off on the expenditure, and mlb.com is in talks with Seattle stat company Tendu to work together on the real-time processing of the data.
Very cool.
