MLB Postseason 2024 Pitch-by-Pitch Data

Pitch-by-pitch data from Statcast for the 2024 MLB (Major League Baseball) Postseason, updated daily as the 2024 Postseason progresses.

The evolution of Statcast technology began with PITCHf/x in 2006, a pioneering system that used fixed cameras to track the trajectory, velocity, and location of every pitch in Major League Baseball. In 2015, Statcast was introduced as an upgrade, combining TrackMan's Doppler radar technology with ChyronHego’s optical camera system. TrackMan tracked the ball’s velocity, spin rate, and flight path, while ChyronHego’s cameras captured player movement, positioning, and defensive actions on the field, enabling advanced performance analysis. This combined radar and camera-based system revolutionized data collection in baseball, providing unprecedented insights into pitch dynamics, hit quality, and player movements. In 2020, MLB further enhanced Statcast by transitioning to the Hawk-Eye system, which uses an array of high-resolution cameras placed throughout the stadium to provide more precise tracking of both players and the ball. This upgrade improved accuracy, expanded data capabilities, and added richer player-tracking metrics, making Statcast a cornerstone of modern baseball analytics.
