As the human race advances and develops, we are
always coming up with ways to improve our life
and technology has played a huge role in our
advancement over time. After years of development
and testing, we have adopted it in every phase of
our life as a second sister. With technological
advancement, we have opened up new avenues even
in the world of sports as well. Traditional
sports like cricket, basketball, baseball,
football have all welcomed this era with open
arms. While the essence of the sport itself has
stayed the same, with time, technology has made
it more relevant than ever. If we talk
specifically about just baseball, which has been
a staple in the US for more than 100 years,
several technological advancements have been made
which has revolutionized the sport. It has
become a part of our life whether we use it to
entertain ourselves, or our whole career depends
on it. Today, Baseball has found its way into our
conversations as well. And the development of
sports owes most of it to technological
advancements. Major League Baseball has relied on
tech to make the sports more engaging for the
audience and improve players' performance. How
has that happened? let's take a look

Pitchers form has undergone a phenomenal shift,
earlier on an average, a pitcher would only throw
80 to 89 mph fastballs today that number has
improved to 90 plus. With the help of detailed
video-based pitch analysis, which provides
insights about the speed, spin, and angle of the
ball giving coaches and players a host of data
they could use to develop further. Sensors are
being placed in the vests as well which can track
the body movement and motion-tracking cameras
help paint the whole picture.

In the old days, we would see players practicing
their swing all the time but with the right tech,
we have been able to significantly help baseball
players improve their swing by using Swing
Trackers. It is an attached sensor on the
baseball bat and can capture data regarding the
swing motion and give you access to the range of
motion in real-time. With personalized metrics,
players can get the right data and focus on
improving. When we talk about technology, we
can't ignore the impact of VR. Virtual reality
has improved the effectiveness of practice by
manifolds. While earlier putting words to action
on the main day of the tournament was tough, now
the training model can simulate real games and
thus athletes can hone their skills in real-time.
The immersive tech can help players prepare
effectively. VR is also being used to engage the
audience as well, through VR, fans would get a
unique view into what the player is seeing as
well as making the game even more immersive.

For Batters, cutting-edge batting practice cages
were developed. Here the aim is to offer
solutions to batters of all levels and cages are
developed to be more functional and bring the
best out of players. Modern cages can be
virtually present anywhere. Providing convenience
to players and coaches to practice their swing
anytime and anywhere. Here, with tracking
technology, one can keep track of the players
performance and high-tech cameras and sensors
would pick up even minute little details.

Improving the pitch or the swing won't matter
much if the player consistently keeps on picking
up an injury. Even though the risk of injury in
baseball is less but it is not nonexistent with
balls coming as fast as 90mph, it could injure
the player on the field if it hits them. Thus,
the question arises how much safety gear is
enough? With technology, we are able to develop
better gear, helmets, padding that would do their
work but not restrict the movement of players.
Tracking Data in-game, the unlimited potential
of data is not a secret anymore but to perform
the analysis we need in-depth data of the
players performance not just during practice but
in-game as well. Many tools have been adopted
which can analyze pitches and swings on a
real-time basis. With the help of advanced radar
and camera systems, we can add more layers of
data to our database which can be studied to
improve performance. Such data can even be used
to lure the audience in and engage them as well.

The next one is dedicated to fans all over the
world. In Baseball technology is being used to
engage baseball fans all over the world with
better broadcasting tech and delivery mechanism
that provides an immersive experience to the
viewers. With livestreaming services baseball
games are now not restricted to the stadiums but
can be streamed live with our idiot boxes. Bio
Trackers for tracking players health. With
wearable tech coaches can track players movement
and health throughout the day with extensive data
which includes sleep cycles, recovery, and
exertion. Trainers can focus on specific
workouts and physical therapy, that would suit
the player the most. MLB uses wristbands produced
by WHOOP for the same purpose and can help the
player improve their performance in the end. Even
after all this advancement, we are just getting
started on this journey. What the future holds
remains to be explored. What we can move forward
with is by knowing that baseball data feed would
form the backbone for all the analysis and
technological advancements.

Data Analytics now plays a huge role in strategy
formation. Thus, creating a need for a
trustworthy and consistent source of data. Such
sports content solutions can be sourced from Data
Sports Group. One of the best in the field their
coverage includes comprehensive data of over 23
competitions with detailed player and match stats
that could be further used for analysis. Just
as tech has enriched our daily lives it has
elevated sports performance as well. Making them
more interactive with the audience. While earlier
we relied on just past performance to improve, we
now also need a host of data that can help us in
real-time as well. This is where DSG comes in
with their Baseball stats API facility making
historical and live data available for
consumption.
