A Guide to Understanding HitTrax

What Is HitTrax?

HitTrax is a one-of-a-kind hitting and pitching simulator that delivers real-time statistics about swings and pitches to players. By instantly capturing data about ball speed, bat location, and player form, coaches and players can quickly and efficiently hone in on problems and work toward correcting them.

This high-tech baseball simulator even captures video of players and allows coaches to compare footage of one player with one of another, so players can see how their form is lacking or excelling in comparison with others on their team.

How Can HitTrax Help You?

The HitTrax simulator can capture information for batters including ball velocity, the distance of the hit, the area of impact, the launch angle, the hard hit average, and even spray charts showing comparisons of previous hits. Players can also see their BA, SLG, and OPS, making it easier than ever before to improve.

The HitTrax system is also instrumental to baseball pitchers, because they can see their pitching speed and location, late break measurements, spray charts, and even a customized analysis based on the type of pitch used.
