GETTING ON BASE

摘要

Waiting for a good pitch in baseball isn't as simple as it sounds. On average, only 25% of swings result in a safe hit that gets a batter on base. To improve a batter's odds, K-Baseball, from Arizona firm K-Motion, uses technology that employs 3-D sensors to fine-tune hitter development. By studying real-time data that breaks down every swing a batter takes, coaches can analyze inefficiencies so a batter can meet the ball in the right place, at the right time, with authority.With about 40 at bats in farming, Jerry Seuntjens has also turned to technology to ensure his swing matters every time he steps up to the plate. Like K-Baseball, Climate FieldView is scrutinizing Seuntjens' hitting strategy. That wasn't always the case.
