  • What video analysis software do you use?
  • Who is Chaz Henry? What’s his background in?
  • The fascinating history of Powerchalk and machine learning...
  • Difference of amateur hitter’s up shoulders at landing versus professional hitter’s down shoulders...

  • “I don't pretend at all that I'm doing away with, or that I'm automating a real hitting coach; I see it as a second opinion...”
  • Using machine learning to recognize dysfunctional movement like immobile joint and diagnose corrective exercise, so that a hitter moves better...
  • Where can they go to find Powerchalk obviously, and then is there a place they can go to check out this new AI machine learning stuff?
