Northborough Company Launches New Baseball Training System

NORTHBOROUGH, MA—InMotion Systems, which developed the HitTrax Motion Capture and Simulation System, just introduced the next generation of its HitTrax system.

InMotion Systems, based in Northborough, developed what it calls a game-changing system for baseball and softball training and entertainment.

The new HitTrax platform uses patented technology and artificial intelligence driven computer vision to "maintain the high level of accuracy and millisecond response time that has made HitTrax the standard for indoor training centers, while adding the new capability of performing in outdoor environments."

The size is a lot smaller than the former platform, and it uses a two-camera configuration to capture the incoming pitch and outgoing hit, said the release.

"Advancing our proprietary tracking algorithms and incorporating the latest in camera technology has allowed us to produce a smaller, more scalable system," says Founder Mike Donfrancesco in a statement. "The new platform allows us to immediately expand our capabilities while setting the stage for further innovations that are currently in development. The progression is driven by our desire to move all aspects of the game forward while providing our users with the flexible tools, powerful information, and one-of-a-kind experience to enable their success."
