SARASOTA, Fla. -- Like so many pitchers in Major League camps, Orioles hurlers have extra sets of eyes on them this spring. The Edgertronic cameras, perched on tripods, are set about a stride's length beyond the backfield bullpen mounds at the club's Ed Smith Stadium complex, as conspicuous as the coaches standing cross-armed behind them.
The pair of lenses qualify as two of the more notable additions in a camp full of fresh faces, and they've documented upwards of a thousand pitches thrown by Orioles this spring in painstaking detail. The club spent much of its first week in Florida rotating pitchers in front of the high-speed cameras, which produce ultra slow-mo images of each pitcher's delivery, before sending those pictures to a row of laptops lining the bullpen wall.
