ST. LOUIS, March 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapsodo, the sports data company known for helping athletes analyze real time metrics to perfect their game, today announces the launch of their Rapsodo Certified program. The Baseball Hitting course is the first to roll out, with Baseball Pitching, Softball Pitching, and Softball Hitting to follow. The online, video-based courses give coaches the skills to better understand the metrics provided to them through Rapsodo’s HITTING 2.0 and PITCHING 2.0 Monitors, currently used by all 30 MLB teams.

Rapsodo Certified modules provide coaches with master concepts and immediate applications to implement into their coaching. This allows data to be the cornerstone of their player development programs. The courses are based on the analysis of more than four years of MLB and amateur Rapsodo data. To turn this data into tangible insight for the Baseball Hitting course, the Rapsodo team worked alongside leading minds within the industry, including Dr. Alan Nathan, Physics of Baseball expert, and Callix Crabbe, Assistant Hitting Coach for the Texas Rangers.
