Why Choose Swing Lab
For Pitcher
Training?

Real-Time Data: Immediate, precise feedback after each pitch helps pitchers make adjustments instantly.
Holistic Development: Hittrax measures both physical (velocity, spin, movement) and mental (pitch selection, focus) aspects of pitching, allowing for well-rounded development.
Effective for All Skill Levels: Whether you’re a high school pitcher just starting to develop your craft, or a college or professional pitcher looking to refine your game, Hittrax’s data and feedback can cater to your level of experience.
Injury Prevention: By tracking performance trends over time, pitchers can catch early signs of fatigue or mechanical breakdowns before they lead to injury.

Key Features and Benefits of Pitcher Training with

Hittrax at Swing Lab

Pitching Data and Metrics

Pitch Velocity: Just like exit velocity for hitters, pitch velocity is one of the most important metrics for a pitcher. Hittrax gives you immediate feedback on how fast your pitches are traveling. Tracking your velocity over time helps pitchers assess whether they’re maintaining or increasing speed as they progress.

Pitch Movement: Hittrax provides data on horizontal and vertical movement. This is important for tracking how much your breaking pitches move, as well as how effective your fastball stays on target.
Pitch Location & Accuracy: Hittrax tracks where the ball crosses the plate. This allows pitchers to work on their command, targeting specific areas of the strike zone (inside, outside, high, low). Consistent location is crucial for controlling the game.

Spin Rate: Spin rate is vital for breaking pitches like sliders, curveballs, and cutters. Hittrax measures spin rate to show how much movement is generated by your pitches. Improving spin can help pitchers make their breaking balls more deceptive and effective.

Pitcher
vs. Hitter
Simulations

Realistic Simulations: Hittrax allows pitchers to throw in a simulated game environment where they can see how their pitches would perform against real hitters in real-time. This helps pitchers visualize their pitches’ effectiveness and adjust accordingly.

Instant Feedback: Right after a pitch is thrown, the system instantly shows key metrics (velocity, movement, location). This immediate feedback lets pitchers quickly adjust their mechanics or pitch selection without waiting for a coach’s input.

Customized Workouts and Drills

Custom Drills: Hittrax offers customized pitcher drills tailored to specific goals, such as improving fastball location, enhancing breaking ball movement, or developing better control of off-speed pitches. You can work on specific pitches or situations that need improvement.
Targeted Training: Hittrax can simulate game situations, such as pitching with runners on base or facing specific hitters. You can work on pitching with different counts and scenarios, helping you refine your decision-making and mental approach.

Biomechanical Insights

Pitching Mechanics: Although Hittrax focuses more on the data-driven aspects of pitching, some advanced systems can also analyze biomechanical feedback (like arm angle, release point, etc.) to help pitchers refine their delivery mechanics and prevent injury.
Preventing Injury: Tracking changes in velocity and spin over time can highlight early signs of fatigue or potential injury risk, allowing pitchers to adjust their training or seek out rest before a more serious issue arises.

Interactive
Feedback

Visualization: After each pitch, Hittrax provides an interactive visual display of where the pitch would land in the strike zone, which allows pitchers to visualize and learn from their results.
Pitch Selection Analysis: By reviewing the data from each pitch, pitchers can analyze their pitch selection. For example, did a high fastball or a low curveball work better in a given situation? This helps pitchers make smarter decisions on the mound.

Game-like Environment

Pressure Situations: Hittrax can simulate different game situations (e.g., two outs, bases loaded) so pitchers can practice how to handle pressure situations. This adds a mental aspect to the training, helping pitchers develop their composure and focus under stress.

Pitch Tracking and Performance Trends

Tracking Progress Over Time: One of the most valuable aspects of Hittrax is the ability to track progress over multiple training sessions. It’s not just about improving on one pitch, but tracking the development of velocity, movement, and control over the long term.
Comparing Pitches: Pitchers can compare how different pitches (e.g., fastball vs. slider, curveball vs. changeup) perform in terms of movement, velocity, and spin. This helps identify which pitches need more work or which one is most effective.

Developing
Different Pitch Types

Breaking Balls: Hittrax tracks the movement and spin of breaking balls, helping pitchers understand how to refine the action and improve the effectiveness of sliders, curveballs, and other off-speed pitches.
Changeup and Off-Speed Control: Understanding how to disguise a changeup or off-speed pitch from the fastball is crucial. Hittrax can measure how similar or different the pitch speed and movement are from a fastball, allowing pitchers to improve the deception of their off-speed offerings.

Pitching Challenges
and Competitions

Pitching Challenges: For more competitive training, pitchers can take part in challenges, either against other pitchers or against virtual batters. This can simulate game-like intensity and improve focus, accuracy, and competitiveness.
Feedback Loop: As pitchers make adjustments to their mechanics or pitch selection, the system continually updates them on their progress, allowing for a feedback loop that is critical for development.
