Tico, is there any way to get real time measurements of batted ball velocity other than Statcast?  The Eugene Emeralds tweeted that Jimenez double left his bat at 112 mph.  It would be neat if they had Statcast at there minor league afflialites.

Are you asking if data is collected via means other than stat cast systems? Or if the data is made available through means other than stat cast?

I know batted ball velocity has been around a lot longer than stat cast. Whether that's because stat cast has simply integrated data generated by other means or not, I'm not sure.

There is more advanced statistical info out there, most of it behind (substantial) paywalls through companies like Stats, Inc. That said, I'm not sure minor league batted ball data from any source is all that common or reliable.

The Emeralds haven't tweeted about it until this game, but they did twice on Jimenez doubles.  I was just wondering where a public relations guy would get that info in close to real time?  I suppose it would be possible Nike loaded up the Ducks/Emeralds stadium will all kinds of interesting technology.

Ian Happ is apparently very hard to keep off base. There is one game of his nascent pro career where he failed to reach base. Out of 30.

Bill Mitchell tweeted that Baez's rehab stint might be done and he'll back to Iowa.

How would the public relations guy get the info in close to real time?

How about he is attending the game?

Sure would be nice to develop a true leadoff hitter internally.  The last time the Cubs had a good leadoff hitter he helped them make it was Lofton, who helped them reach the playoffs in 2003.

Is he meeting the team in Iowa, or is he (hopefully) heading to Memphis for tonight's game?
