A few months into my internship with Driveline Hitting. Being around this staff every day has changed how I think about the swing. A few things I've learned so far 🧵

The man who built K-pop just shot two debut music videos in 4D gaussian splatting and then called splats “the final form of the camera.” The videos just look like normal video, but they’re 3D.

MLB hitter's full signal attack angle data pre and post season. Left side: February Right Side: September (more green, this is good) It's really common to lose bat speed throughout the season, but huge to see the attack angle in a better place - Both getting into and staying in ideal ranges for a longer period of time. Example of an in season adjustment that can set you up to make big progress throughout the offseason.

3 years ago, I started at @DrivelineBB I didn’t even know if I wanted to be a hitting coach. And here we are. These are 3 of the biggest things I’ve learned in the last 3 years 🧵

Idea that I'm working with based off last week and Turang's home run to LCF. Trying to visualize where players are 'potentially' making contact with the baseball. The visual here is what I'm most interested in. Big estimate going on here take with a grain of salt.

Google Gemini AI Ultra $99/month plan is pretty good, giving you access to Argon 4 (which we've found useful at Driveline) and somewhat understated are 1,000 compute units/month in Colab. I hate Jupyter Notebooks BUT you can use GPUs via SSH - really solid GPU hour allocation.

🏋️ How you jump = How you set up 🏋️ In our weight room assessment, we track Countermovement Jump (CMJ) and Squat Jump (SJ). How can knowledge of jumping ability translate to hitting? My thoughts ⬇️🧵

Kyle Stowers followed up his breakout 2025 campaign (149 WRC+) with a respectable 114 WRC+ in 2026 Why the regression? Production on fastballs. Let's take a look at what changed and how he can return to all-star form (He very much so can) 🧵🧵🧵

See us at @roboflow VIS in SF. @DrivelineBB R&D's goal isn't to push the boundary of pro sports quantitative analysis - we have higher ambitions. Our Technology team pushes the edge in the fields of CV, LLMs, infrastructure optimization, and much more.

experimenting with keypoint detection in Gemini 4 Argon gave it a hand diagram with numbered points and asked it to find them in an image then did the same for every frame in a video ↓ prompt
Astra dethroned Gemini 4 Argon is the best "vision" model #1 for detection: - tight, precise boxes - dense scenes #1 for text extraction: - small text - handwritten text - complex tables - rotated text 4× cheaper than Astra at high

A strike isn't always a good pitch to hit.🧵 Even in advantage counts, hitters don't do much damage on the corners and edges. The damage happens over the middle of the plate. One of the biggest things we use Trajekt for is training that decision.
