And then it was a Kickstarter at the time, or a GoFundMe, I forget what exactly, but one of those.
And...
I saw it and I was like, oh, we need to get that for baseball.
I had no idea what I'm going to learn, but to be able to see something in super slow motion instead of just actually going on would be cool.
So we got one and I was the first person in baseball to buy one.
And now every team probably has 30 or 40 of them.
I think like Edutronic's business, like 40% of their business now comes from baseball, which is pretty crazy.
But the first one ever in baseball is actually on the wall of my gym right now.
I use it every day.
Yeah, so we've learned stuff from it.
Like right now, my pointer finger strength is about 30%, 40% less than my middle finger strength.
So when I throw a ball, the ball tilts a certain way.
And so that's good for some movements and bad for other movements.
So if I want to make a pitch, like my fastball, if I want to have more rise, I need to even that out.
But the only way we even knew to study that was by looking at the camera and saying, oh, I wonder why like this finger's coming off the ball first and not that one.
And then like spin axis stuff.
We were looking at spin axis before.
The two companies that really measure spin axis right now are Rapsodo and Trackman.
Trackman started in golf and they kind of started getting into baseball.
But my dad and I developed a way to calculate spin axis off of just electronic footage.
