The roster.
Film a few swings, get one thing to work on. Every player keeps a history, so next time the advice picks up where you left off.
How to film it thirty seconds of setup buys a much better read
- Stand on the open side — where you can see the hitter's chest and number, square to them, about 15 ft away.
- Phone at belt height, held still — lean it on a bucket or the fence. A moving camera reads as a moving hitter.
- Landscape, whole body in frame, head to feet, with room in front for the stride.
- Slo-mo if the phone has it. 60 fps or better sharpens every timing number. 30 fps still works.
- One swing per clip, a second or two on each end. Four to six swings makes a session worth trusting.
What this can and cannot see. It tracks the hitter's body — 33 joints, every frame — so it reads stride, balance, head movement, rotation and front-side mechanics well. It does not track the bat or the ball: on phone video the bat is a blur at contact, so anything claiming bat speed or exit velocity from a clip like this is guessing. Contact here is estimated from hand speed.

Only what has actually moved. Oldest session on the left, and higher means closer to where it wants to be.

Today's swings.
Four to six swings gives a reading worth trusting. One swing is mostly noise.
Line up the clip.
Scrub to just before the load and set the start. Then just after the finish and set the end. A tight clip reads faster and cleaner.
Mechanics change with what is coming at them. Tagging it keeps the history comparing like with like.
Reading it.
Warming up…
The first run downloads the pose model, about 9 MB. After that it is cached.

The measurements
| What | Reading | Wants to be | Call |
|---|
Give them one cue, not four. Lead with what looked good — it buys the attention for the fix. Five to ten minutes on the drill beats thirty minutes of swings, and expect the change to look worse before it looks better. If anything hurts, stop: this reads mechanics, not arms and joints.
