He said that he was really inaccurate so he decided to come up with an idea to improve his pitching and accuracy, he made a electronic strike zone target that gives pitchers feed back to make your pitching technique. To make this idea happen Nick constructed a rectangular frame lined with lasers.

Baseball has increased the amount of aspects that can be measured of the game, like batted ball velocity, the value of a player, movement of a pitch and its spin rate, and velocity of any ball thrown on the field. Exercise Science has increased the amount of measurements that can be taken in a wide range of areas, like the mobility of the shoulder, force and momentum produced from the lower body during the pitching motion, angular acceleration and torque of the trunk during the motions of pitching and batting, and even the measurements of muscles, especially those of the rotator cuff, responsible for stability of the shoulder joint. As years go on, technology becomes more advanced, including in baseball and Exercise Science, and the use of that technology becomes more practical, which can then be used to calculate more measurements.…
