SEATTLE - Have you ever wondered how fast or slow Major League Baseball players swing at the ball? Well, now you can find out, thanks to Statcast's new bat-tracking data, new technology offering fans insight into everything from bat speed to swing length.
Using five high-rate Hawk-Eye cameras that run at 300 frames per second, Statcast and MLB will now be able to track not only the speed of the bat but also its path, location, and relation to the pitch.
