EBCA Convention – Vienna ’08

September 2nd, 2009 No comments

In my post about Sports Motion video software, I mentioned that I travelled to Europe to speak at the European Baseball Coaches Association (EBCA) Convention.  It was held in Vienna, Austria in December of last year, so it’s about time I made an official update about it.

The convention is sponsored in part by International Sports Group, and I was invited to speak by ISG team leader and fellow presenter, Tom O’Connell.  Each year, ISG helps organize and carry out a full roster of international conferences, and going on the trip was a great experience.

I made 4 presentations in total:

  1. Major League Swing Analysis
  2. Video Analysis “How-to” and Demonstration
  3. Movement and Mechanics
  4. Practical Bat Speed Application

Mystery Hitter

July 13th, 2009 No comments

This is a hitter with a history of success, very good success, but is underperforming this year. 

These images are taken from this year and a previous year, front and side view of different swings that resulted in a HR to Left Center on fastballs in similar locations.

Each image on the left side is from this year, 2009.  The shots on the right are from last year.

Sports Motion video software

January 30th, 2009 2 comments

Recently, I traveled to Europe with ISG baseball  to participate in a baseball clinic for the European Baseball Coaches Association and my first presentation was basically using video to review different elements of the swing.  I’ve always been asked a lot about what types of things I do with video and what software I use, and this was no different after speaking in Vienna.  With that, it’s about time that I put this together….

      promo code: “jalbert” at checkout for 5% off of total order

The main video software I use is called Sports Motion.  I created a page on the main site where I give a brief list of some of the features, but you can also check out Sports Motion’s myspace page which has some videos detailing features of the program. 

Because of the number of inquiries from coaches at the EBCA conference in Europe, I was able to get my own promo code for those looking to buy the software and now I can make that available to anyone.  So if this is something you are interested in, you can use the promo code “jalbert”  for a 5% discount when you check out with your order from Sports Motion.

If you have any questions related to this, feel free to ask or email

Ok I don’t know how many more of these MLB analysis pieces are going to come out, but this is an interesting one.

Here is the full article at Baseball Analysts.  It takes into account some sports psychology in addition to mechanics and looks at some statistical changes over the past couple of years.
