NEW YORK — A year after launching its DiamondFX batter training product, TrinityVR has installed its virtual reality systems for two major league organizations, and one is already reporting some early gains.
One of the franchises deployed the hitting tool in a Latin American academy, where its predominantly teenage prospects reside, and set up a drill in which the batters are prompted to identify each type of pitch they saw. In two months of use, those players improved their pitch recognition skills, on average, from 53 percent to 66 percent, TrinityVR strategy chief Rahat Ahmed said.
