Exit velocity (among other things) has become a huge part of the baseball world as we know it. It’s also something that’s been picked up steadily by the everyday, regular fan, not just the sabermetric/analytical baseball nerds. What a lot of fans haven’t realized, yet, is how easy some of this data is to gather. With that in mind, I’m going to give a very basic walk through of how to collect data through Statcast. I won’t touch into many of the various deeper things that Statcast can do, but I’ll point out what I think are the basics such that any fan can look up exit velocity on their own.
