![]() PG Tech data might pique a scout's interest in a player and get a player a closer look. What we see with our eyes is confirmed through PG Tech data analysis, which also picks up what our eyes do not see or are not capable of seeing. "PG Tech sits at the intersection of old-school and new-school methods of coaching and scouting. It will also be an important tool for college coaches and professional scouts," stated Bill Bavasi, a former 40-year Major League Baseball player development and scouting executive, with 10 years as a general manager. "PG Tech will emerge as a trusted and welcome resource for amateur baseball players, their parents and their coaches. The universe gives a player talent, and we're here to help each one of them maximize their natural talent and fulfill their dreams by giving them access to meaningful data that will help them improve and reach their full potential, and the best is yet to come for PG Tech." "For the first time ever, amateur baseball players had access to cutting-edge and innovative technology that was beyond the means and reach for most of them. "The beta testing of the PG Tech batting cage exceeded all of our expectations," stated K-Motion Chairman and CEO, Steve Diamond. So far, the reaction to and the results from PG Tech have been outstanding." That's why we're working closely with K-Motion to develop PG Tech. ![]() "In an effort to stay ahead of the curve, Perfect Game is committed to providing its athletes with best-in-class services that allow them to play the game for as long as they can and to their fullest potential. "It's no secret that baseball, and all sports for that matter, are increasingly turning to high-tech applications to enhance methods and practices," said Perfect Game President, Jerry Ford. The data captured by PG Tech is uploaded to the players' profile pages on the Perfect Game website, allowing collegiate and professional scouts opportunities to compare their own "eye-test" notes with the data captured in the PG Tech batting cage. This allows a player the ability to improve weaknesses and further develop strengths, to help them maximize their potential as a hitter.ĭuring this past season, PG Tech was sampled by more than 4,000 players participating in Perfect Game events. Combined, the data allows players, parents, coaches, and scouts the ability to evaluate a player's swing in each of its many phases. Included in the data are exit velocity and ball flight as well as biomechanical data related to hip, torso, and pelvis movement. Using highspeed video cameras, a launch monitor, a radar unit, a bat sensor, and a 3D motion capture system - all individually adjusted by PG Tech biomechanics specialists – player batted-ball information is gathered from the technologies listed above and combined to provide players with the "cause data" of their swings. ![]() PG Tech's first effort, a cutting-edge baseball batting cage, incorporates the use of industry-leading sport technology companies such as K-Motion (3D data), Edgertronics (high speed video), Pocket Radar (ball data), Diamond Kinetics (bat data) and TrackMan (launch monitor data.) The innovative, data-capturing, performance enhancement system will be made available to more than 10,000 amateur baseball players in 2022.
