Better Pitching Through Technology

Better Ks Through Technology

Whether you're the office softball team's hurler looking to improve, or the entire Phillies bullpen searching for a prayer, RevFire may be the answer. The new pitcher's tool features two bionic balls that look and feel like the regulation stuff, but have sensors embedded deep within. Those sensors allow the system's hand-held monitor to track speed, rotation speed and the number of pitches thrown in a given session -- all vital info for those working on either improving or rehabilitating their arm.

At $398 for either the softball or baseball version, the RevFire isn't exactly an affordable option for the average Pee Wee leaguer. However, for those who can afford to spend upwards of $300 on a standalone radar gun, the extra info provided by the RevFire is well worth the extra expense.
