Keep working @FernandPuentes ๐๐ฝ
We got to use @FullSwingBSB today for the first time. Very impressive, easy set up and some of the metrics will be extremely beneficial for the playersโ development.

๐จ The Full Swing KIT for Baseball is here! โพ
Pro-level data anywhere you train โ 12 points of pitching & batted-ball data, bat speed tracking, and 3D batted-ball visualization.
Proud to partner with Marucci Sports to bring this to players everywhere.
Over-instruction is such a deterrent to a kidโs natural movement. Their capacity to move well is significantly higher than we give them credit for. But, itโs hard to monetize this in the world of lessons and youth coaching so people over coach and over-cue. #EveryoneIsGuessing
Bonus Topic: Blast Motionโs Rotational Acceleration is the hitters ability to accelerate the bat quickly into their Bat Speed. @Blast_Bsbl .
Quick bat, good path, lots of hard contact ๐๐ฅ
Blast Motion @Blast_Bsbl measures Attack Angle and other swing metrics just like this with a simple sensor on the knob of the bat. Itโs been used to dial in hitters Attack Angles for years - costs $150.
Collect in any environment, training, BP, and even in-game. Must have tool
Other key metrics here are
1. On Plane Efficiency (Swing Plane)
2. Vertical Bat Angle
3. Bat Speed
You can even collect data in Off-Line mode and look at the data later. Simply swing with the sensor and connect to your Blast App after hitting to view your data.
Look how deep,how early & how long Naylor is on plane with this pitch. By doing so he doesnโt have to be 100% on time to hit the ball hard on the barrel of the bat.
so many people train for an analytically perfect swing. nothing wrong with that, have to have a โgood swingโ. However, if you train 1 swing against 1 pitch, how many tools in the toolbox do you have?
โBuildโ swings by training shapes.
Create a rolodex!
@JoeTourville1 is exceptional, a great friend, and a Jedi. How Joe goes about his business, his attention to detail, and commitment to excellence has always pushed me to be better.
It is an absolute privilege to work alongside Joe.
QUICK UPDATE:
Hey everyone, earlier this week, Blast Motion was forced to make a series of cuts, and unfortunately, I was one of those laid off.
It was certainly surprising - I really enjoyed working at Blast (especially with MLB Bat Tracking now public), and I will always be super grateful for my time there.
I learned a lot about player development, player evaluation, and what to do (and what not to do) when running a tech company. ,
I will always be an advocate for the @Blast_Bsbl product - I think every position player should have a glove, bat, spikes, and a Blast Sensor when they walk up to the field.
With all that being said (and because baseball-tech employees don't normally have representation), I'm using this post to let everyone know that I am now a free agent.
Thanks to everyone who engaged with my Blast content up to this point. I only ask that you don't stop doing so.
DM's are open.
