Outfield play can be boring and repetitive for players. We’ve chosen to stress players’ movement patterns with different constraints in order to create opportunities for self-organization.

Without statcast and expensive tech, OF range can be tough to gauge.
We tested our players’ ability to accelerate in 8 different directions at 15 / 30 / 60 ft
The data indicates which OFs have the best range and then who should play what position based off the #’s

Rodman said that he studied the spin on players shots to know where he needed to position to rebound when they missed.
➡️Curious if this is/was common practice in basketball?
➡️What creative avenues like this are we missing in baseball?

Technology by itself is not the disruptor. Not being customer (player)-centric is the biggest threat to any business (program/organization).

Not mentioned during the broadcast but an unbelievable play by Pache. The aggressiveness to & through the ball makes this play closer than anyone thought. Muncy looks halfway down the line when this ball is released.

It is important when working w/ new athletes to test where they are @ in the dev. process when trying to establish a baseline
This allows coaches to go back & reassess their own teaching methods

I remember learning how to drop in for the 1st time at a skatepark. Constantly having to make my own adj. with no coach but rather the help of peers. Skateparks are a great ex. of a self directed environment. Create the environment and they will learn.

Much appreciated! Watching the MLB playoffs, I saw Statcast was able to calculate where OFs were +/- based off the balls hit their direction during the season. I wanted to try and do something similar for positioning purposes and see if players were playing the right position

The first testing we did took the “read off the bat” out. I wanted to see their peak acceleration with knowing the direction and distance of which they needed to run. The next step would be to introduce the variable of a read off the bat and then calculate the times again.

It was based off the avg of the sample size. Basically seeing where they were into relationship to their teammates. Since I’ve done it, I also turned those numbers into sprint speed to make the numbers more tangible to OF play.
