Diamond Kinetics

Motion-tracking analytics hardware for baseball

Overview

Diamond Kinetics builds motion-analysis tools for baseball and softball to help players improve. Its SwingTracker and PitchTracker sensors attach to bats and balls to collect real-time swing and pitch data, which is then analyzed by a mobile app that shows 3D views, metrics, feedback, drills, and games. The system blends hardware, an app, guided training content, and social comparisons, and it collaborates with Major League Baseball, giving youth players access to a trusted ecosystem. Its goal is to provide accessible, data-driven coaching to youth players and establish Diamond Kinetics as a leading platform for skill development.
