​

Player Evaluation

​

The first and probably most obvious application of Rapsodo data would be player evaluation. Players want videos meant to wow college coaches and scouts, Rapsodo’s interface can be tailored for this use. 

The Rapsodo export video feature is perfect for creating recruiting videos. It shows pitching or hitting data along the right side of the screen next to the video clip of the pitch or hit, making it easy for coaches to watch fundamentals of a player alongside his metrics. Numbers don’t lie. 

​

Player Development

​

The second beneficial application for Rapsodo data is high school (and beyond) player development. Rapsodo metrics are a great way to analyze performance and help high school players get better.  You can experience this first hand by throwing  bullpens and looking at the data in real time with the pitching coach. A good example of how Rapsodo data aids in player development is a time when a pitcher is consistently throwing what looked like an ineffective curveball to the naked eye. When analyzing the pitcher’s data, it shows an extremely low spin efficiency and high gyro spin. These numbers demonstrate how the curveball is losing efficient forward topspin and decrease vertical break when thrown.

Working with the coach, a pitcher  using an incorrect grip on the baseball, can cause the ball’s spin to go from a desired forward topspin to angling gyro spin, which is more commonly seen in sliders. Instant feedback and reporting. Rapsodo helps establish a pitcher’s feel for a particular pitch by giving them instant feedback for each pitch. This feature is what allows the coach to quickly identify and fix the grip issue with the pitcher.  In addition to all the in-practice benefits, Rapsodo develops in-depth pitching and hitting reports that can be found on the Cloud. These individualized reports will help coaches and players understand practice data on a deeper level.
