Trajectory mapping of a baseball hit using sensors on the practice nets

1. SMART BASEBALL NETTING

2. SMART BASEBALL NETTING
The primary aim of this system is to provide a netting set-up for measuring
certain key parameters on the Baseball ‘hit’ based on the impact at the net.
For the first time, such an accurate data would be available with Sensor
Technology integrated with the Net System for Coaches and Players to analyse.

3. Dashboard Interface
HIT Insights –
1. Speed on Impact
2. Angle of Impact
3. Distance Travelled
4. Location – Front View

4. Dashboard Interface
HIT Insights –
1. Speed on Impact
2. Angle of Impact
3. Distance Travelled
4. Trajectory of Hit

5. Dashboard Interface
Session Insights –
1. Practice Time
2. Total Hits
3. True Hits
4. Ave Hit Speed
5. Efficiency
6. HIT wise analysis
7. Graphic Interface

6. Current Version Includes –
1. Hit Analysis on Trajectory - Speed, Angle, Location in conjunction with 7*7
Practice Net
2. User Interface through Cloud on Portal
3. Relevant MIS and Analytics
4. Technical Proficiency Mandated from User – Minimal (limited to basic
configuration and registration). User Manual shall be provided for that.

7. SMART BASEBALL NETTING
Purpose of SMART Netting:
1. By using ‘Integrated Technology’ in Netting, Coaches and players can analyse and
review the performance and techniques using digital data while playing anywhere and
anytime. The coaches need not have to depend on an ‘in-presence’ split second visual
sense to gather all the finer aspects of a player’s performance and can work remotely.
Even the players can make their independent assessments by self analysing the data.
2. Data captured through this would help project the trajectory of ball and parameters
like Acceleration, Angle and Impact Location of hit on the net.
3. The dashboard would provide analysis on player performance and skills

8. SMART BASEBALL NETTING - Technology Framework
- The Smart Netting System Architecture would broadly involve four stacks –
i. Sensor Instrumentation
ii. Data Acquisition and Control
iii. Communication & Networking
iv. User Interface (Currently on Portal Dashboard)
Product Differentiation :
 Integrated Sensor Technology
 AI for Performance Analysis
 Use of Predictive Analytics using Sensors
 No Camera coverage needed for data capture
 Fast reflection on user screen compared to Video Analytics
 Can work in remote areas with low internet bandwidth.

9. SMART BASEBALL NETTING – Future Scope and Upgrades
Three Possible Versions based on Parameters, Features, Interface, Latency, Analytics
etc. – 1. Rookie 2.Expert 3.Pro
Additional Parameters Possible -
 Bat angle, bat swing, hitting ark, sweet spot analysis, hit timing, acceleration
through the shot etc. for further analysis on batter side.
 We can capture pitcher side data on Speed, Trajectory, Spin, Swing.
 Location Analysis for designated ‘Strike’ or ‘Ball’
System Enhancement –
 Edge Computing to reduce Latency (delay between event and screen reflection)
 Native (on-site) Interface and Screen, in the absence of suitable internet access
 User Interface on Mobile App

10. SMART BASEBALL NETTING – Future Scope and Upgrades
Third Party (outsourced) Work projection –
High-end presentation
Immersive Animation Video
High-end Graphic Design for Portal and Mobile App (keeping in mind the US
market).
