Play for College Coaches

The Division 1 Baseball “Quiet Period” is mid-August thru mid-September (2024 Recruiting calendar not posted). What is a quiet period? During a quiet period, a college coach may only have face-to-face contact with college-bound student-athletes or their parents on the college's campus. A coach may not watch student-athletes compete (unless a competition occurs on the college's campus) or visit their high schools.

Rapsodo Stadium
Rapsodo Stadium will be available at the University of Portland and University of Washington in 2023!
Rapsodo, the sports data company known for helping athletes analyze real-time metrics to perfect their game, today announces the launch of its first device designed to provide live, in-game data for baseball and softball teams – Rapsodo Stadium™.
The product is already being used by The American Association of Professional Baseball (AAPB), an MLB Partner League comprised of 12 teams, with two installations completed so far.
The new Rapsodo Stadium™ works by placing two dual-stereo camera systems across the field to track 100 percent of the ball flight. This completely optical approach is similar to those used in MLB stadiums and produces the same professional grade data, but is made to be accessible to more levels of play. Rapsodo Stadium™ will provide the same industry leading hitting and pitching data Rapsodo's practice tools are known for, while providing an in-game measurement tool for a one-to-one comparison of data. The device will capture the full 3D rotation of the ball, as well as provide revolutionary seam orientation for the first time. Beyond data measurement, Rapsodo's Stadium application functions as a digital bookkeeping tool - providing players, coaches, and scouts fully matched in-game data as well as in-game outcomes to see cause and effect.
