Blast Motion Program

‘The Yard’ has partnered up with Blast Motion Baseball, the official bat sensor technology of Major League Baseball. Blast Motion is a training device for players, coaches, and instructor’s that will provide real time swing metrics and analysis to help further a players’ knowledge and development of their swing. When using Blast Motion sensor devices, players, coaches, and instructors will have real time results of a players’:

-bat speed- the total speed of the barrel at impact

-peak hand speed- the fastest hand speed reached throughout the swing

-attack angle- the angle that the barrel approaches the ball at impact

-vertical bat angle- the steepness of the barrel at impact from a catcher’s perspective

-plane score- scores your ‘on plane efficiency’ for each swing

-on plane efficiency- measures the percentage of your swing where the bat is on the swing plane

-rotation score- scores your rotational acceleration for each swing

-rotational acceleration- measures how quickly your bat accelerates into the swing plane

-connection score- scores how connected your swing is

-early connection- measures the relationship between your body tilt and the vertical bat angle early in the downswing

-connection at impact- measures the relationship between your body tilt and vertical bat angle at impact

-power- measures the amount of power generated, in kilowatts, during the swing

-time to contact- the time measured from the start of the downswing to impact

-blast factor- the swing score for overall performance tracking

Blast Motion Devices are sensor’s that are placed on the knob of the player’s bat while they are taking swings, whether off of a T, soft toss, live batting practice, or in game action. The sensor records all of the above measurements in real time, takes videos of the swings, and provides a 3-D virtual image of the swings allowing the player, coach, and instructor to analyze each and every swing. The information from the bat sensor is instantly linked and logged to the players and coaches’/instructor’s profile for review and analysis, giving the player, coach and instructor information that simply cannot be seen or measured by the naked eye.
