lots of talk about innovation in baseball due to the torpedo bat, but i think trajekt is probably a cooler technological innovation. trajekt is basically a fancy new pitching machine adopted by most mlb teams. it simulates any pitchers motion, arm angle, and repertoire. statistically, batters gain an advantage the more they see a pitcher during a game. longer at bats = advantage batter. 2nd/3rd time through a lineup = advantage batter. trajekt gives a batter the closest thing to live batting practice against any opposing pitcher to potentially sway the odds in their favor during the game. combine this with the new torpedo bats and batters can potentially barrel balls up more often for better hitting outcomes. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40401564/trajekt-arc-new-technology-controversy-mlb-hitters-pitchers-advantage
