Baseball America has an article in this week’s issue touting a new use for iPods. Players’ at bats are video’d and then the video is transferred to a database. Next, individual players are able to then grab the video of all of their at bats so they can view their visits to the plate.

Aside: Baseball America (www.BaseballAmerica.com) offers subscriptions to their web content, though some of it is free to access. They also offer a twice monthly print publication. You won’t be able to read the article I’m referencing unless you have a subscription.

From an analytics standpoint, this is a great use for my favorite little electronic tool (toy). Check out your approach, your loft, your stance, see what happened when you grounded out or, worse, struck out. Then have a little conference with your hitting coach.

Beyond that it is also very cool. Who wouldn’t want to watch themselves knocking one out of the park over and over again, maybe with your favorite tunes playing?? I know I would.

The list of awesome things you can do to/with your iPod grows… read more of those here.
