Rapsodo Stadium™ is a completely optical dual-stereo camera system that uses four cameras to track 100% of the ball flight. A similar approach is used in MLB stadiums, allowing Rapsodo Stadium™ to produce the same professional grade data while being accessible to more levels of play. It was developed to be an in-game tracking system to compare players’ data recorded during games to that identified at practice. Rapsodo Stadium™ provides the same industry leading hitting and pitching metrics Rapsodo’s practice tools are known for, in addition to capturing the full 3D rotation of the ball and seam orientation.
