Below are some general descriptive results and relationships from around 9,000 swings of over 42 individual players. While we’ve been building a growing database of tools stretching across at least three categories, today we discuss timestamping individual HitTrax and Blast swings over the last few months. Using two or more of them at the same time-and time syncing them to inspect on a swing-by-swing basis. But what is even more trendy than using any one of these tools by themselves? We use all these tools at Driveline and they generate a ton of instant, usable data. ![]() More people and teams than ever have been using objective, precision-measuring technology to evaluate swing outcomes ( batted ball technology like Rapsodo Hitting and HitTrax), swing characteristics ( BlastMotion), kinematic movements of swings ( K-Vest), and a few other categories that we ambiguously refer to here in a blanket cover-all reference. While the beginning of the technology revolution in baseball analytics may have started on the pitching side, hitting is catching up fast.
