Deep dives
The Origins of Driveline Baseball
Driveline Baseball was established as a data-driven player development company out of a garage operation with no funding, primarily by its founder, Kyle Bodie. One of the unique challenges he faced early on was synchronizing high-speed cameras for analyzing pitching mechanics. This involved using consumer-grade cameras, which lacked built-in synchronization technology, prompting Bodie to employ mathematical methods and coding skills to develop a custom solution. His innovative approach set the foundation for Driveline's data-centric training methods, which aimed to enhance player performance through precise feedback.
