The Blast Swing Analyzer is approved by MLB for in-game use, at all affiliate levels. The Blast Smart Bat Certification Program is designed to ensure proper operation of the Blast Swing Analyzer when it’s installed into an embedded, Blast Motion smart bat receptacle. This page provides a list of partners that have successfully completed the Blast Smart Bat Certification Program.
BLAST SMART BAT CERTIFICATION PARTNERS
When a partner has successfully completed the certification program, they receive the right to display the official Blast Smart Bat Compatible logo on their website and on their product packaging. In order to determine the specific models of smart bats that have been qualified, please contact the manufacturers to request a list.
