[QUOTE="eokerholm, post: 691016, member: 5007"] From what they were saying on the various tours (at multiple schools) it was pretty cool. Batters also get instant feedback with trackman and the others on their launch angles, etc. The cool part of the various cameras and stuff is it allows the batter to see and learn what pitches do coming into them and what the profile (scouting report) has to say about the various pitches a guy would have. O'Connor mentioned the various cameras in the field (in the Disch and at Places like Vandy) allow them to study Pitchers (and batters) and look for tells or weaknesses, patterns, etc. "When he gets down 2-1, what pitch does he rely on, etc." Same with batters. They study all that stuff, even during series to see what is working and what isn't. I thought that was pretty neat. Visualizing the pitches on screen and or in a Virtual Reality device allow batters to "get reps" and get more comfortable seeing and learning pitches coming at them, where to expect the ball, etc. How many times have you heard "Sit curve, look fast ball." That's great if the guy only has 2 pitches. Bring in a change and that messes with their head and judgement. That's why having more than and command of 3 pitches is key. 3 is hard enough to deal with and judge and adjust to. 4 or 5 is major mind "screw". (good for pitcher, bad for batter) But if you get to see various styles, angles, spins, and movement helps the batters adjust their approaches to hit, just like the pitchers adjust to get the batters to miss. Baseball is a lot more complicated than I used to think. Pitch, Hit, Run, Catch, Throw :-) [/QUOTE]
