Baseball’s Statistical Revolution: Statcast Is a New Tracking System that Will Effectively Track Everything on the Field

#ad▼

Baseball statistics has come a long way since batting average, home runs and RBIs.

Statcast is a new tracking system that will effectively track everything on the field, including the pitched and batted baseball, the spin of the ball, and all the players — real-time and historically.

Statcast tracks Dee Gordon as he turns on the jets and scores from first on Jonathan Lucroy’s RBI double.

Statcast takes a look at five All-Star homers that showcase exit velocity from the first half of the 2015 season. Who has the best exit velocity, the greatest distance.

Statcast is a partnership between Trackman for Doppler radar that tracks trajectory and spin, and ChyronHego for video, which identifies the position and speed of all moving objects on the baseball field, and does this uniquely in true real-time (supplying X,Y,Z coordinates 25 times per second).

ChyronHego is used in many arena sports, including football, for “telestration and analysis for broadcast and football coaching.
