Canadian school developing Orioles new baseball technology [Video]

WATERLOO—When Major League Baseball implemented Hawk-Eye technology in 2019, it was a game changer. The elaborate tracking system that uses high-resolution cameras to spit out advanced analytic data completely altered how we view and consume the sport.

Hawk-Eye is the reason terms such as exit velocity and spin rate have become part of baseball’s everyday vocabulary. It’s the way home runs are tracked, arm strength is measured and pitches are identified. Soon enough, it will power the automated ball-strike challenge system.
