Espn's Ball Tracker

During Espn's home run derby Espn used a new Ball Tracking system that utilized doppler radar running at about 2000 Hz. While monitoring speed, location of the ball the system can give you a digital comet as soon as the ball leaves the bat. All data is placed in a preexisting 3-D model of the stadium to determine if the ball will get above the wall or stay in fair territory.
