MLB Advanced Media, L.P. Proprietary & Confidential 8 MLBAM Stats and Data Capture HOW DOES IT WORK?  Data is transmitted back to a central computer that aggregates and interprets the data  Software uses images to calculate equations of motion and determine the ball’s position at any point along the trajectory  Manual operator evaluates data and can reject any invalid or incomplete data  Accuracy is verified by computing offset between each camera’s measurement of each point along the trajectory: zero difference indicates system has accurately centered the pitch  Pitch data also plotted against video to verify accuracy
