An interesting article about what technologies and approaches hitters are using to strike back in the world of pitch design and times-through-order penalties. Teams are also moving away from batting practice just being an uninstructive time to crush meatballs. When the Blue Jays signed Zach Stewart in 2019 it was apparently just to throw BP. Here's a video from the article about a Toronto companies' pitching robot: https://vimeo.com/454792845
Brownie19 Old-Timey Member Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 I'm not surprised by this at all - but it's still pretty f***ing awesome. One thing everyone hates about pitching machines is the timing - you can't tell when that ball is coming. I've seen some machines that have a screen & projector up in front of it, so you can 'see' a pitcher winding up and then at the release point, there's a hole in the screen the ball comes out of. I wonder if they'll add that to this pitching robot... Super cool - thanks for posting.
