Baseball - Softball
Many of the drills relevant to baseball and softball players require a different skill set and reaction to different stimuli. These drills are designed to provide analytical data in protocols unique to these sports.
Home to 1st: Utilizing the SmartShoxx technology, APT offers the ability to measure this time from the actual moment of impact during the swing from a hitting position, rather than merely starting from a sprint stance. This will become the speed standard for the sport.
Linear Sprints: The traditional measurement of speed for baseball and softball (40 or 60 Yard Dashes), with the added benefit of split times.
2nd base to home: In addition to the standard linear sprint, APT offers the unique ability to test the more relevant base running data of 2nd base to home, with a 3rd base split time detected by shock sensors.
OF Reactive Time Cut Drill: This protocol is design to test a fielder’s ability to react and cut left, right or back in response to a stimulus.
IF Lateral Reactive Drill: Test the time it takes for an infielder to respond to a stimulus to get to the hoe, breaking right or left. The beam break can be set for either the mass of the body or can be broken by the glove.
VIDEO OPTION: At all APT Events participants will be offered the opportunity to purchase video files of their performance in specific drills. Videos will be labeled with the athlete’s name and will include split times and final times for the selected drills. These videos can be uploaded to the APT Game Improvement Center for those athletes wishing to have their performance analyzed online by our team of experts.
