re: New LSU Pitching Coach, Jason Kelley interview w/ T-Bob

It was just the WinReality stuff they couldn't use. The reason was something about cleaning it between uses to prevent COVID. Something dumb that seemed like a piss poor excuse.

I don't know what Kelly specifically mentioned in the interview, but Motus, Edgertronic, Pocket Radar, and some other things I can't remember right now are all more easily used and pretty portable.

Motus sleeves measure elbow stress, among other .things The pitching lab probably has mo-cap stuff and force plates to measure things as well.

im sure they will be using that along with rapsodo, the insight cameras and playerAI to develop pitching. Hopefully they are able to use some of Drivelines pitch design philosphy and their an approach to weighted balls to get our pitchers to throw harder and develop pitches that work with their spin rate and release points.

I would imagine JJ will be using rapsodo, k-vest, a swingtracker and traqs system to develop a hitting approach.

I would image flightscope or hittraqs too, especially since flightscope came out with the new portable strike system with much smaller price tag. But no reason a school like LSU cant get a donor to write a check for hittraqs

This one thing that annoyed the frick out of me with PM, was the lack of imbracing the data and specficially Drivelines approach. The data is there, proves that hard hit balls in the 12-20 range for your non HR hitter is where we need to be. There was no focus on exit velocity training, angles etc. Instead we up there taking with a fricking 3-0 count.

thank god JJ lives by "it's a ball or it's a line drive"


No excuse for us not to 100% embrace every form of tech and use our stats guys to chart launch angles (specifically for hard hit balls, spray angles, exit velocity, swing plane consistancy, hard hit average, barrel speed, barrel acceleration, and peak barrel speed location. All those things are used to develop a philosphy for each hitter, where their hot cold zones are etc.

and for the love of fricking god....stop bunting unlss they shift!!!
