What Rapsodo Measures for Pitchers
Rapsodo is an industry-leading pitching analytics system used by college and professional programs to capture precise, real-time data on every pitch thrown. Using advanced radar technology, Rapsodo measures the metrics that truly matter for pitching performance—providing an objective, data-driven view of how the ball is delivered, moves, and performs.
Velocity – Pitch speed out of the hand
Spin Rate – How fast the ball is spinning (RPM)
Spin Efficiency – How much of the spin contributes to movement
Spin Direction / Axis – The direction the ball is rotating
Horizontal Break - Side-to-side movement of the pitch
Vertical Break - Upward or downward movement relative to gravity
Release Angle - Direction the ball leaves the hand
Release Consistency - Repeatability of release point and mechanics
Pitch Location - Where each pitch crosses the plate
Pitch Type Comparison - Differences and separation between pitch types
These metrics provide a complete picture of a catcher’s efficiency, athleticism, and defensive reliability.
