Next gen command training coming soon....👀🤫
Through his first 4 starts of the season, @Bennett1ML has been on a tear! 4-0 1.90 ERA 18 Ks in 18.1 IP Bennett came into @DrivelineBB this summer to assess and topped 84.0 mph. With some hard work and few adjustments, he's cruising at 86-88 mph... Great work Bennett!

Game 1 on the clock @kzoobaseball
Last week, Driveline was honored to host the Ballard High School AP Computer Science class for a field trip! Students got a hands-on lecture on calibrating our marker-based and markerless system, and generated videos + assets for their Unity game development experiments!
Miami Marlins are set to hire Brandon Mann under the title of pitcher strategist, per source. Mann comes from Driveline Baseball as lead pitching coordinator.
Over the course of their 10-week break, 15 @kzoobaseball pitchers gained velo, adding an average of 1.1 mph - how'd they do it? We didn't use any velo days, just quality lifts, and well-executed individual programming via TRAQ and Pulse (@DrivelineBB). Simplify when it works.
Throughout the winter and season we gather a lot of data @kzoobaseball. To make this data digestible for each hitter, we make Post Live AB reports. With the help of @bacraig8 we can efficiently make these reports, inform each player, and look to quickly improve.
A lot of information is collected on a daily basis for our pitchers @kzoobaseball - so what do we do with it? Using our new data/analytical system(s), each pitcher can see every aggregated data point via our Post-Bullpen/Live AB Reports. Collect -> Analyze -> Inform -> Improve
50+ command heat maps in less than 20 minutes for @kzoobaseball's pitchers... Data operations are full steam ahead thanks to @DrivelineBB's Intended Zones and a little bit of work behind the scenes with @zachsimm0ns and @JacobHoffman44.
Week 1 in the books with @kzoobaseball! Between the newly-dialed data systems, unparalleled dedication from fellow staff members, and the guys I get to work with on a daily basis, it's tough to find a reason to not be excited about what's going on in Kalamazoo.

I think @LanginTots13 was on to something when I spoke with him last spring:
The key to better understanding of the data is to stop generalizing about it. Stop putting together things that may not actually have anything to do with one another.
Last week, Driveline was honored to host the Ballard High School AP Computer Science class for a field trip! Students got a hands-on lecture on calibrating our marker-based and markerless system, and generated videos + assets for their Unity game development experiments!
Finished my last #driveline live session of the offseason. Worked on FB, Split, Change and Slider. Can’t wait to get the ‘24 season started! @TahomaBaseball @zagsbaseball
Marco Gonzales command is in mid-season form 😤😤😤
Shane Bieber (@ShaneBieber19) wrapped up his off-season @DrivelineBB with a bang! 🚀 Average 93.2 MPH 10 heaters > 93 MPH, surpassing his entire 2023 (8). 🌀 Curveball revived Session: 83.7 MPH | 14" VB 2020🥇: 83.6 MPH | 14" VB Looks like he's back in business... 🔥
18 years ago I was reading research papers, very early on weighted baseball research, and building a lab from consumer gear - no one cared. Later: Driveline Baseball. I’ve gotten that feeling again. Generative AI, LLMs, CV, related software. Don’t be late. Or do, I guess. 🤷

"I’m never going to play in the big leagues, but I can help other people do that.” Luisa Gauci will become the latest trailblazing female to join the Minors coaching ranks when she serves as a hitting coach in the #Brewers' system: atmilb.com/3vs1MSR
Recently dove into coding with @BentleY__ThomaS. Using Python we set out to create a heat map for our hitters @kzoobaseball. In this case we utilize Whiff% that will allows us to see the zones our hitters swing and miss most in.
