Convergent Science
?Alan posted a link to this article. It sounds like they have an equation, or algorithm, that can predict the flight of the ball, beyond what is normally used (based on constant acceleration). I'd be more interested to see the results based on the batted ball, rather than the pitched ball.
As of this fall, Convergent Science is the only company to claim to have found the equation to track the ball's movement through time and space. Others use software that simply spins the ball to figure out the type of force at work.
"There are other people in companies that do this type of software, but ours is unique in the sense that the ball actually moves throughout the domain -- meaning we simulate ball from pitchers hand to catcher's mitt," Kaczmarek said.
