Jingle LLC Introduces Strike: World’s First Smart Baseball

Related Topics: Baseball, Smartphone

Taiwanese sports tech company Jingle LLC successfully achieved its Kickstarter goal of $25,000 to help fund production of “Strike,” a spin-tracking, velocity-reading and trajectory-mapping smart baseball

Thus far, donors have backed Jingle’s smart baseball to the tune of $29,612 and nine days still remain on the fundraising campaign.

Jingle carefully designed Strike to mimic the exact specifications of a Major League baseball. The company’s first public product offering is emblazoned with blue laces rather than red, but weighs an identical five ounces and is wrapped in a genuine leather cover that meets Major League specifications.

The guts, or maybe brains, of Strike are what set it apart.
