This video from Trackman Baseball provides a step-by-step guide on how to initiate and manage a Batting Practice session within the Trackman Baseball app. It covers everything from setting up the lineup to active tracking and reviewing data.
Session Setup and Lineup
- Starting a Session:
- Navigate to the Batting Practice option on the tagging page. You will need to select or create an organization.
- Creating a Lineup:
- Search for and select a team, then add players by searching for existing ones or creating new ones with their details (name, ID, jersey number, and handedness).
- Roster Management:
- Players can also be added directly from a roster tab using the plus button. Lineup order can be adjusted by dragging players.
Tracking and Modes
- Important Setup:
- Ensure the system is placed between 9 and 15 meters (roughly 30 to 50 feet) from the tip of home plate for accurate tracking.
- Modes:
- Start the session by clicking the green button to enter Warm-up mode, then switch to Playing mode on the right side to start tracking live data.
Customizing Metrics and Tagging
- Editing Metrics:
- Customize which data points are displayed by clicking the filter button in the top right corner to select or arrange metrics. You can switch between Imperial (mph, inches) and Metric (km/h, centimeters) units.
- Tagging Hits:
- During practice, you can label the type of hit (e.g., ground ball, pop-up). Hit type tagging can be toggled on or off.
- Adding Notes:
- You can add specific notes to any pitch or hit for later review.
Ending the Session
To conclude, switch from Playing back to Warm-up mode, then end the game to proceed to the review page for data analysis.
