    Fielding Stats Meet Technology

    I just read this brief article about a new camera system being installed into ballparks for fielding stat purposes. Essentially, they are creating a new camera system that captures the spped of the fielder, the speed and trajectory of the ball, the speed of the runner, and the amount of ground covered among other things.

    Apparently, this is going to be ground breaking and I am definitely excited about it. Now we are going to be able to see just which players are the best of the best.

    It is really very good step.I am always with the use of more and more technology.This will help to observe the particular player in the field.This new camera system will cover almost all.It is going to be interesting.Now all the fielders and their speed can be captured.
