Systems and methods for evaluating pitching performances

Abstract

A computer system including instructions recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and readable by at least one processor may include an input module, a data calculation module, and a display module. The input module is configured to receive an input associated with an athletic performance. The data calculation module is configured to evaluate the athletic performance. The display module is configured to provide a visual display associated with the evaluation of the athletic performance.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer system including instructions recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and readable by at least one processor, the system comprising:
 an input module configured to receive an input associated with an athletic performance;   a data calculation module configured to evaluate the athletic performance; and   a display module configured to provide a visual display associated with the evaluation of the athletic performance.   
     
     
         2 . The computer system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a transmission module configured to transmit data associated with the athletic performance to a storage location.   
     
     
         3 . The computer system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a transmission module configured to receive data associated with prior athletic performances.   
     
     
         4 . The computer system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a transmission module configured to receive data associated with prior athletic performances,   the display module being configured to provide a visual display associated with the data associated with the prior athletic performances.   
     
     
         5 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the input associated with the athletic performance includes a type of baseball pitch and a location of a baseball pitch. 
     
     
         6 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the input module is configured to receive the input via a touch screen. 
     
     
         7 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the input module is configured to receive the input from a data device. 
     
     
         8 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the input module is configured to receive the input from a data device via a wireless connection. 
     
     
         9 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the input module is configured to receive input from a first data device and a second data device different than the first data device. 
     
     
         10 . The computer system of  claim 1 , wherein the data calculation module is configured to compare the athletic performance to a baseline athletic performance. 
     
     
         11 . A computer-implemented method for causing at least one processor to execute instructions recorded on a computer-readable storage medium, the method comprising:
 receiving an input associated with an athletic performance;   evaluating the athletic performance; and   providing a visual display associated with the evaluation of the athletic performance.   
     
     
         12 . The computer implemented method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 transmitting data associated with the athletic performance to a storage location.   
     
     
         13 . The computer implemented method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 receiving data associated with prior athletic performances from a storage location.   
     
     
         14 . The computer implemented method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 receiving data associated with prior athletic performances; and   providing a visual display associated with the data associated with the prior athletic performances.   
     
     
         15 . The computer implemented method of  claim 11 , wherein the input associated with the athletic performance includes a type of baseball pitch and a location of a baseball pitch. 
     
     
         16 . The computer implemented method of  claim 11 , wherein the input is received via a touch screen. 
     
     
         17 . The computer implemented method of  claim 11 , wherein the input is received from a data device. 
     
     
         18 . The computer implemented method of  claim 11 , wherein the input is received from a data device via a wireless connection. 
     
     
         19 . The computer implemented method of  claim 11 , wherein the input is received from a first data device and a second data device different than the first data device. 
     
     
         20 . A computer program product, the computer program product being tangibly embodied on a computer-readable medium and comprising instructions that, when executed, are configured to cause at least one processor to:
 receive an input associated with an athletic performance;   evaluate the athletic performance; and   provide a visual display associated with the evaluation of the athletic performance.
