Our friends west of Knoxville have a new system which to me is a little too close to the Astros ‘system’: Vanderbilt baseball debuts wearable 'pitch-signaling' devices to cut down sign-stealing, improve pace of play

Admittedly, I haven’t given this technology a lot of thought. The tradition of catchers calling the game seems to be a thing of the past in college baseball…for a while now. Sure, I miss it, but that comes with the coaching salaries and other investments doesn’t it? At the end of the day, pitching coaches have been calling pitches from the dugout for a while.

What seems a bit different is the ability in, a matter of seconds, to communicate a shift for instance to the other 7 players or a tendency of a batter, or of a pick off move, etc…

I’m not against it, but I think everyone should have it I suppose. It’s an interesting topic to be sure.

Watching a Tulane game over the weekend, the broadcasters said there’s an electronic sign above the dugout that the coach calls the pitch on and the whole team can see the pitch that’s coming so they can be ready.
And there’s signs like this which give defensive positioning this year in the Big 12: 7EC1520E-9AEB-4E6A-B255-D07FA16A61AB.jpeg

It’s going to be everywhere eventually, I think the technology/idea is a lot better than wearing a wristband. It will suffice until we all have a chip implanted in our forehead 😀

If you wanna learn about college baseball you’ve come to the right place. Last year this place was a blast 💥. Much more vol centric than other corners of volnation. Not nearly as many drivebys. Of course CWS level of success probably plays a role there, too.
