What Is Blast Baseball?

Share:

Blast Baseball is a swing sensor and mobile app system that attaches to the knob of any bat, automatically capturing swing metrics and video the moment you make contact. It’s the Official Bat Sensor Technology of Major League Baseball®, and it’s designed to help hitters of every level train smarter and improve faster.

How Blast Baseball Works

The Blast sensor attaches easily and securely to the knob of nearly any regulation bat and transmits metrics to your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone via Low Energy Bluetooth. Simply attach the sensor and start swinging — your swing information is automatically captured and sent to the app as easy-to-understand metrics.

Key Features

  • Swing metrics that help you analyze and improve time to contact, bat path angle, swing speed, and more.
  • One-touch access to video highlights, metrics, and performance history — your personal Swing DNA™.
  • In-app training videos with tips, drills, and actionable insights.
  • Smart Video Capture™, which automatically analyzes and clips your video into highlights synced with your metrics.
  • Automatic swing quality scoring across three key areas every great hitter needs: plane, connection, and rotation, powered by Blast iQ™.
  • Offline storage — the sensor stores your swings when your phone is out of range, then syncs once reconnected.
  • Ball Flight analysis, delivering many of the key features of a professional launch monitor — usable anywhere with an iPhone or iPad.
  • Session reports and ball flight spray charts for real-time feedback on performance trends.
