Making Advanced Pitching Technology Accessible: The DVS X-Ray MoCap Kit
In today’s baseball landscape, access to advanced technology is critical to unlocking a pitcher’s full potential. Yet, for the vast majority of the amateur baseball market, professional-grade markerless motion capture technology has remained out of reach due to high costs and complexity. Even those who can afford it are still navigating how to use this powerful tool effectively to help pitchers stay healthy and maintain consistent game performance over multiple seasons.
At DVS Baseball, we’ve been on a mission to change that. Our goal is to make cutting-edge motion capture technology not only accessible but also practical for coaches, trainers, and players at all levels of the game. We’ve paired affordability with precision, combining markerless motion capture with our medically published pitching analysis, directly integrating it into our development solutions.
Affordable, Reliable, and Easy to Use
To achieve meaningful results, you need the right combination of hardware and software. At DVS Baseball, we’ve designed our technology to be reliable, simple to set up, film, and seamlessly upload into the system for automated results. The DVS X-Ray MoCap Kit is engineered with ease-of-use in mind, ensuring that coaches and players can focus on what matters most—performance improvement.
The true value of this technology comes from the clear communication of insights back to the pitcher. When pitchers can fully understand their mechanics and the impact of their movements, they are empowered to take control of their own development. This process leads to greater ownership of their training and more effective adjustments to improve performance and longevity.
Enhanced Accuracy and Reliable Data
With many of our partners now using the DVS MoCap Kit, we’ve been able to further improve the accuracy of our automated scoring system. Our DVS X-Ray technology stops video precisely at weight-bearing foot strike, allowing us to calculate metrics that reflect key elements of a pitcher’s mechanics.
To illustrate, we’ve attached a clip showing several pitchers at foot strike. This is where the DVS X-Ray system captures and calculates our metrics, offering critical insights into a pitcher’s delivery.
What Makes DVS Metrics Different?
Unlike traditional biomechanics, DVS metrics focus on movements that directly affect a pitcher’s efficiency, timing, risk, and impulse. These elements are foundational to maintaining long-term health and in-game performance. We don’t just analyze how a pitcher moves; we provide actionable data that helps them move better.
The DVS X-Ray MoCap Kit uses a two-camera system that automates this analysis, providing reliable, data-driven insights that pitchers and coaches can trust. This technology has become a game-changer in how we approach pitching development.
By making advanced technology accessible and easy to use, we’re helping more pitchers unlock their potential while building healthier, more durable careers.
