Pro Data Program

How to get started

Select your option, location and register.

We will reach out to you and discuss your needs

What to bring

All equipment needed for that skill. Glove, bat, catching equipment (if applicable).

There are water fountains and vending machines at all facilities, but it's still encouraged to bring a drink.

We will both schedule a day and time.

Show up and perform.

What to wear

Athletic attire is needed. Players may wear baseball pants, if they would like, but it is not mandatory.

All facilities are turf and tennis shoes or turf shoes work best on the surface. Molded spikes can be worn but metal spikes are not allowed.

How it works

Hitting Data 

Players hit Bating Practice with a Rapsodo Hitting Machine. Rapsodo accounts then transfer all data to Driveline Traq.

OneBaseU Screening

All players and pitchers do OnBaseU mobility and range of motion assessment. We then manually enter results into Driveline Traq.

Pull Down Velocity

All players and pitchers do pulldowns "crow hop" to get their peak athletic velocity. We then manually enter velocities into Driveline Traq.

Biomechanics Capture

All players are have biomechanic sensors attached to them to capture their swing or throwing motion.

Pitching Data 

Pitchers throw a bullpen with a Rapsodo Pitching Machine. Rapsodo accounts then transfer all data to Driveline Traq.

Reporting & Analysis

All data and metrics collected are now in Traq. The data is aggregated to show player trends, comparisons and percentiles is every area assessed.

Bio-mechanic Capture 

See what your body is doing vs. what you think it's doing

Mechanic Analysis

Get insight into your player’s swing, pitching, body movements and measurements like never before. Establish quantifiable targets and improvement goals. Visualization for both coach and player from 3D angles, graphs etc. help for better understanding of what the body is doing vs. what it thinks it’s doing.

What it helps with

Bio-feedback training, Kinematic sequence analysis, Functional swing plane, Bat path analysis and much more. Modular sensor system for body-specific or full body capture.

Rapsodo Pitching Data

See what Rapsodo can measure and how it will evaluate your pitches

Velocity

How fast a pitch is traveling during flight, measured in miles per hour (MPH).

Spin Direction

The tilt or angle of the baseball from the release point, measured in degrees, created by the Magnus effect. The Magnus Effect is created by the air pressure surrounding the spinning baseball on its path to home plate.

Strike Zone Analysis

Instantly see Strike Zone feedback while automatically tracking Strike Percentage and Heatmap Breakdowns.

Release Height

The height of the ball at the point of release.

Rapsodo Pitching Machine

Spin Rate

The rate at which the ball spins during flight, measured in rotations per minute (RPM). There is a stronger correlation between spin rate and swinging-strike percentage than between velocity and swinging-strike percentage.

Spin Efficiency

The percentage of spin directly impacting the movement of a pitch. Spin Efficiency is the ratio of true spin to total spin.

3D Trajectory

The ballflight is show in two trajectories. A dotted line represents what the pitch would have done without spin and the solid line represents the actual movement of the pitch.

Release Side

The distance away from the center of the rubber from the left (-) or the right (+).

True Spin Rate

The spin directly impacting the movement of a pitch. Also known as “useful spin,” it is perpendicular to the direction the ball is traveling, deflecting the otherwise straight horizontal and vertical path of the ball.

Pitch Break

How much a ball has moved when it crosses the strike zone compared to what its position would have been without spin. Break is measured horizontally and vertically in inches.

Horizontal Angle

The horizontal angle the ball was released out of the hand from the left (-) or the right (+).

Release Angle

The vertical angle at which the ball was released out of the hand.

Rapsodo Hitting Data

Exit Velocity

Exit Velocity is the speed of the baseball as it comes off the bat after contact.

Spin Rate

The rate at which the ball spins during flight after contact, measured in rotations per minute (RPM).

Rapsodo Hitting Machine

Launch Angle

Launch Angle is the vertical angle at which the baseball leaves the bat after contact.

Spin Direction

The tilt or angle of the baseball from the contact point, measured in degrees, created by the Magnus effect. The Magnus Effect is created by the air pressure surrounding the spinning baseball on its path from the bat.

Direction

The direction, plotted on a baseball diamond, that an in-play ball takes in flight.

3D Ball Flight

Instantly track the ball off the bat to see the actual ball flight of the projected hit.

Hitting

If a student is struggling to perform, a coach’s job is to quickly identify and correct the problem. OnBaseU certification gives the coach a deep understanding of how the body’s strengths and weaknesses affect their player’s ability to perform at any level. Baseball and Softball coaches can quickly identify any physical restrictions that may be limiting a player and implement simple techniques to improve these limitations. Having the ability to connect a player’s physical abilities to their technical skills gives the coach a complete understanding of why a player does what they do.

Pitching

OnBase University’s mission is to educate players and industry professionals on The Body-Baseball or The Body-Softball relationship through its ‘OnBase Certified’ educational program. This program was developed by the expert panel of OnBase University Advisory Board members consisting of baseball and softball industry leading experts.
