Dart system… for pitchers

By Tangotiger, 03:40 PM

I have seen the future, and it is here.  Are you kidding me?  This kid did exactly what I’ve always wanted to do (had I cared about darts at all).  And, this is EXACTLY what I would do to help pitchers.

(I presume) This is what MGL’s been talking about with the PITCHf/x-ers, where you are looking at the resultant pitch location, rather than the intended pitch location.  We care about intent, and we care about the accuracy around that intent.

Ideally, a pitcher would signal to us his intended location after every pitch, and then, we’d be able to answer all of life’s questions.
