MLB Advanced Media Every Detail Available to Fans

MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM) has taken a huge step into the sports statistical world.  Each year MLBAM tracks every pitch, hit and out in about 17,400 games.  These statistics are easily sortable and quickly sent out to any fan, player or coach at any given time.
The biggest change has been in the tracking of pitches.
MLBAM uses Pitchf/x, which is a tracking technology developed by Sportvision.  It captures 36 data points on every pitch of every game.  It is then used to calculate and sort pitches according to speed, location, type and trajectory.
This information is extremely valuable to scouts, coaches and general managers when they are evaluating players for the future of their organization.
