Thanks to a generous donation from a former Oklahoma State pitcher, the Oklahoma State pitching staff is working with technology that is used in the MLB. It’s paying off for them as they were able to win a game in Dodgers stadium over the weekend.
OSU beat Michigan at Dodger Stadium as part of this past weekend’s trip to Los Angeles. As one of 30 Major League Baseball stadiums, the Dodgers’ home features MLB’s Statcast technology, which provides various advanced metrics for pitchers, batters and fielders. Measurements for pitchers such as release height, precise velocity and pitch spin rate are available, as are exit velocity and launch angle for batters and catch probably and arm strength for fielders.
