Blast Baseball Swing Analyzer and The Futures App (Now In Use at TSI)

The Mid-Atlantic Orioles Baseball program introduced two new technology apps to our players and families this past fall, Blast Baseball Swing Analyzer and The Futures App.

Blast Baseball Swing Analyzer

Another great technology tool that the Orioles program offered to our players with their contract is Blast Baseball, the industry’s most accurate swing analyzer, is now the Official Bat Sensor Technology of Major League Baseball®*.

Simply attach the sensor to the knob of any bat and start swinging. Information is automatically captured and sent to your smart phone or tablet** in the form of easy to understand metrics. In-app training videos provide you with tips, drills, and actionable insights to help you improve your swing. Blast’s patented Smart Video Capture™ technology automatically analyzes and clips your video to create a series of video highlights synced with your metrics, allowing you or your coach to visually identify your strengths and areas for improvement. Blast Baseball will help you become a stronger, more efficient, and overall better hitter.

The swing metrics captured allow you to analyze and improving your time to contact, bat path angle, swing speed, and much more. The sensor stores your actions in offline mode when your mobile phone is out of range.

The app automatically assesses every swing for swing quality and groups the metrics to provide insights in 3 areas that all great hitters possess: plane, connection, rotation.

The Futures App

The Futures App is included with each players tuition and serves as a great resource for players, families and our coaches. The Futures App delivers drills, videos, schedules, and more directly to your player’s phone. It is a seamless experience, easy to use, social media-like interface with embedded drills and exercises that deliver training opportunities to players anytime, anywhere.
