Baseball-related "iPod" Question:
Just out of curiosity because I remember the Rockies doing something like this a couple of years ago and presumably they still do:
Will any team, but more specifically the A's, be using portable video players to show players what their previous PA looked like, but with a Pitch F/x theme to it this year?
I ask because while I would like to think that the A's are using the Pitch F/x data to analyze how certain players are pitched to so that they can work on better pitch recognition for those types of pitches and similarly how effective certain pitchers are with their assortment of pitches; I do not know if they do, but would like to know if they do... I agree that too much information during the game would be bad, but I wonder how much is too much and I wonder if the prep beforehand is sufficient.
I mean for example: let us say that the A's are facing Brandon Webb and let's say that the in-game Pitch F/x data is showing that Webb's sinker is not sinking effectively. I'd like to think that that information, while it may be obvious to each hitter may be communicated to the rest of the players as confirmation. Maybe we are to that point and maybe we are not. I am quite interested in it all though.
