The Statcast system

Statcast is an advanced tracking technology used in baseball to collect detailed data about player performance and game events. It utilizes high-speed cameras and radar to measure various aspects, such as pitch speed, exit velocity of hits, player sprint speeds, and fielding metrics. This data helps teams, analysts, and fans gain deeper insights into player abilities and game strategies. By using Statcast, baseball has transitioned into a data-driven sport, allowing for more accurate assessments of performance and enhancing the overall viewing experience for fans.
