What is Statcast?
Statcast is a
state-of-the-art tracking technology, capable of measuring
previously unquantifiable aspects of the game. Set up in all 30
Major League ballparks, Statcast collects data using a series of
high-resolution optical cameras along with radar equipment. The
technology precisely tracks the location and movements of the ball
and every player on the field, resulting in an unparalleled amount
of information covering everything from the pitcher to the batter to
baserunners and defensive players.
