Want to Really understand Effective Velocity?

Explained: Lets say you and I are in both batters boxes...you are a lefty and I am a Right Hand Batter.....our pitcher throws a ball right between us....belt high at 65 mph...... the Release speed was 65 to you and to me.....

Now let's say that pitcher threw the ball up and in to you.....now you can not hit that pitch unless it is in front of you....so "effectively" that pitch becomes faster to you...because you have to react to it faster.....

But down and away to you...becomes slower...you can hit it off your front leg or your back leg....you have more time....that pitch, "effectively " is slower to you.

Here is a quick video that shows you what I am talking about.

First time using SmartMitt game “turn out the lights”…she thought it was a game…coaches watched the focus and concentration to turn them all off with 10 pitches…a perfect score is 9 targets hit with 9 pitches. Give Tori a thumbs up for the effort.

Can your Pitching Technology show you what your pitch looks like to each batter? .... No....check out SmartMitt...we can.

It's called batterview's view(tm)....plus we can put two pitches on the same video to show how they tunnel together.
