Rapsodo has been at the forefront of helping MLB teams capture numerous pitch metrics. Page breaks down which metrics MLB teams are focused on and how the technology helps pitchers with pitch design. [28:46] A deep dive into the hitting metrics Rapsodo captures, and how even though hitters are still playing catch-up, the concept of building a heat map is driving adaptation.
