With sign-stealing scandals shaking Major League Baseball, the game needed a solution. Enter PitchCom, the cutting-edge communication technology that's changing the way baseball is played.In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with John Hankins, co-inventor and owner of PitchCom, to unpack the surprising origins of the technology (it was inspired by John's stage mentalism experience!), the innovative and unhackable tech that comprises the PitchCom system, and why it has completely changed the game of baseball. Beyond baseball, PitchCom is a case study in applied technology—how engineering, wireless communication, encryption, and even sound design can be used in unexpected ways. The lesson for educators? What your students learn in the technical education classroom—electronics, software, mechanics, and problem-solving—can lead to groundbreaking inventions in any arena.Listen to learn:How stage mentalism, sound engineering, and encryption tech came together to create PitchComHow PitchCom reduced wild pitches to the lowest levels in MLB history and sped up game play by cutting down time lost to sign-callingWhy PitchCom's encryption is so secure that it's mathematically impossible for teams to hack—more secure than the number of atoms in the universeHow engineering students can apply their skills in creative industries—from sports tech to entertainment and beyondWhy college baseball, the Canadian Football League, and even scuba diving are exploring this technologyWhat future inventors need to know about turning ideas into patented, market-ready productsIf you teach technical education or have students interested in technology, this episode is a must-listen. The next big innovation could come from your classroom!3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Innovation thrives in times of urgency and challenge.PitchCom wasn't just a cool idea—it was a solution to a crisis in baseball. The Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal created an undeniable need for secure communication, and John Hankins applied existing technology in a new way to fill that gap. Great inventions don't start with ideas—they start with problems.2. True innovation comes from blending different disciplines.John's background as an engineer, patent attorney, and stage mentalist gave him a unique perspective on communication and encryption. Whether it's combining sports and tech, or magic and engineering, the biggest breakthroughs come from crossing industry boundaries and thinking outside traditional silos.3. Data is the future of every industry.PitchCom started as a tool to prevent sign-stealing, but now it's unlocking new levels of player performance data—tracking pitch accuracy, command, and strategy in real time. From sports to manufacturing to education, those who understand and leverage real-time data insights will lead the future.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about PitchCom's technology, visit: pitchcom.comWe want to hear from you!

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday night, April 13, 2024. Kyle Gibson gave up a costly three-run home run to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and after the game he conceded that he should have let Willson Contreras call the slider that he was angling for before PitchCom issues caused some problems for the St. Louis battery ahead of the fateful pitch to Gurriel. Even in giving credit to his catcher for a well-called game, though, Gibson said you'd have to ask Gurriel what he was looking for to be able to turn on the sinker in off the plate and change the game with one swing. Was Gurriel simply lasered in on the pitch for whatever reason? Regardless, we also dive into some base running issues and the continued hot and cold nature of clutch hitting for the Cardinals in the early portion of the year.

Recording right after Games 5 in the LDS, one would think we would be all postseason all the time.  You haven't met Pottymouth. Prepare to be schooled on how being pro-Israel is not the same as standing up against anti-semitism,  and we're not sure all the baseball players in that video understand that. Also that our supporting the right of athletes to speak out on issues that matter to them in no way extends to our agreeing with them.  We also dip back into how immigration policy is preventing families of Venezuelan baseball players from coming to the US to see them play. We come around to the “New England Parlor Game” of all the people declining interviews to head baseball ops for the Red Sox (Pottymouth plants a flag for Craig Breslow), and how Marlins ownership drove out Kim Ng, who was arguably the best thing to happen to that franchise in years. Why are baseball academies in the DR such targets for break-ins? And ah, yes, the postseason. Pottymouth was right about Kyle, Patti calls dibs on Alek while still throwing down for Nats North, and the Bryan Abreu kerfuffle gives is the bench clearing we didn't know we needed. Patti wants to be the PitchCom librarian and is currently wondering where Austin Hedges' “F*^& Yeah” track gets filed.We say “We are not shut up and dribble people,” “Is it an isthmus?” and “I don't speak Spanish but that sounds like National Chickens.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

The college softball offseason is in full swing with transfers finding new homes, teams starting to take shape and new rules coming down from the NCAA. The picture of 2024 for the Florida State Seminoles and everyone else is starting to come into focus. As we wait on Team 41 to open their season, the Seminole Softball Wrap podcast crew — Gwyn Rhodes and Brian Pellerin — sought out national college softball writer Brady Vernon of D1Softball.com to discuss the stories of the offseason so far. Covered in this episode: Transfer Portal The biggest moves of the new year so far are centered around the Oklahoma Sooners. One of the best pitchers in the sport out, another in... and then some. Gwyn and Brian get Brady's perspective on Jordy Bahl's move to Nebraska, Kelly Maxwell's jump across the state of Oklahoma to try and fill Bahl's shoes, Alana Vawter's move to the SEC and more. Does he see this as a weakening of college softball's dominant force? Who are the teams that currently could push OU for the Women's College World Series this year? Florida State The Noles are of course among that crew. They've built a powerhouse program perpetually in the top ten with the goal of OKC every year. But how does that translate to their national reputation? Brady sure thinks so, saying he believes OU fans look at FSU as their biggest competition each season and the program consistently pushing to compete. 2024 won't be much different. The lineup is largely back so the bats should continue to find ways. In the circle, losing Kat Sandercock will hurt, but Brady has confidence in the growth of Makenna Reid into that role. Plus there's another pitcher that he thinks is ready to find that stride in Tallahassee this season.  Conference Realignment The Big Ten and the Big 12 have raided the Pac-12 leaving no conference left with a west coast base. It's a move driven by football that will almost certainly have impacts on softball as well. The west coast used to run the sport and recruiting it well remains crucial to a strong program. Could the loss of a regional conference on the west coast open the door to more teams recruiting out there? And does the SEC gain an advantage as the only truly regional conference. New Rules for 2024 The NCAA released some new rules for the upcoming season including limits on assistant coaches interacting with umpires, the addition of the PitchCom system to relay pitches/plays like MLB has added, changes to the pitching mechanic rules around airborne feet and some replay review changes. Brady shares his thoughts on what catches his eye as the changes most likely to impact the sport people going forward. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night 2023 MLB All-Star Game – T-Mobile Park, Seattle National League 3, American League 2 National 3, American 2 – National League snaps All-Star Game losing streak, tops AL 3-2 behind Elias Díaz homer Elias Díaz hit a two-run homer off Félix Bautista in the eighth inning, and the National League snapped a nine-game losing streak in the All-Star Game with a 3-2 win over the American League. The NL won for the first time since an 8-0 victory in 2012 in Kansas City thanks to Díaz, a catcher who became the first Rockies player to win the All-Star MVP award. Díaz, who was non-tendered by the Pirates at the end of 2019, drove a 2-2 pitch from Baltimore’s hard-throwing closer deep to left to put the NL in front. Díaz was the lone representative for Colorado in his first All-Star Game appearance. Friday Chicago White Sox at Atlanta Braves, 7:20 p.m. Boston Red Sox at Chicago Cubs, 8:05 p.m. Detroit Tigers at Seattle Mariners, 10:10 p.m. MLB – Díaz becomes unlikely All-Star MVP, 3 ½ years after cut loose by Pirates Elias Díaz may be the most unlikely All-Star MVP. Just 3 1/2 years after Pittsburgh failed to offer a contract and allowed him to become a free agent, his go-ahead, two-run homer off Félix Bautista in the eighth inning lifted the National League over the American 3-2. A first-time All-Star at age 32, the Colorado catcher put his name on an award won by Willie Mays, Joe Morgan, Frank and Brooks Robinson, both Ken Griffeys and Mike Trout. Díaz says: “I honestly can’t believe that my name is going to be next to some of those names." MLB – White Sox slugger Luis Robert Jr. out of All-Star Game due to calf tightness Chicago White Sox slugger Luis Robert Jr. did not play in the All-Star Game after feeling tightness in his right calf during the Home Run Derby. The White Sox said that Robert underwent an MRI in Seattle and is listed as day-to-day. The team said Robert felt the tightness in the calf during the opening round and did not play in the All-Star Game as a precaution. Robert will be evaluated before the White Sox restart the season on Friday in Atlanta. Robert was the No. 1 seed in the Home Run Derby and beat Baltimore’s Adley Rutschman 28-27 in the opening round. Robert lost to Tampa Bay’s Randy Arozarena in the semifinals 35-22. MLB – Atlanta’s Truist Park and Chicago’s Wrigley Field under consideration for ASG The Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs are under consideration for upcoming All-Star Games. Next year’s game is scheduled for the Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field in Arlington, and the 2026 game will be at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park. The 2021 All-Star Game was awarded to Atlanta’s Truist Park by Major League Baseball in 2019 but in April 2021 was moved to Denver’s Coors Field following objections to sweeping changes to Georgia’s voting laws. Commissioner Rob Manfred says “Atlanta is in the mix of clubs for the ‘25 All-Star Game.” MLB – Manfred has no intention of altering Pete Rose’s lifetime ban from baseball Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred has no intention of altering Pete Rose’s lifetime ban from baseball and said the sport’s commercial deals with gambling companies have no impact on the status of the career hits leader. Rose agreed to a lifetime ban in 1989 after an investigation found Rose placed numerous bets on the Cincinnati Reds to win from 1985-87 while playing for and managing the team. Manfred rejected Rose’s application in 2015. Manfred says: “Pete Rose violated what is sort of rule one in baseball, and the consequences of that are clear in the rule.” MLB – MLB open to consider increasing time on pitch clock in postseason Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred will consider increasing time on the pitch clock for the postseason but is reluctant to adjust an innovation the sport considers a great success. In the first season of the clock, the average time of a nine-inning game is 2:38, on track to be the fastest since 1984. It is down from 3:04 last year and 3:09 in 2021, the last season before PitchCom was introduced. Manfred says "we’re going to continue to talk to the players and adds: “I think you ought to play the postseason the way you play the regular season. There’s exceptions.” NBASL – NBA Summer League Last Night Chicago Bulls 107, Sacramento Kings 99 Tonight Detroit Pistons vs. Toronto Raptors, 6:00 p.m.              (at Thomas and Mack Center, Las Vegas) Indiana Pacers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder, 7:30 p.m.        (at Cox Pavilion, Las Vegas) NBA – Flopping, challenge rules changed by NBA’s Board of Governors The NBA’s Board of Governors approved two rule changes for the coming season Tuesday. One change gives coaches a second challenge if their first one is successful. The other will mean a technical foul will be called against players who flop. The challenge rule change is something that coaches have wanted for some time. Coaches who challenge a call and are successful will get the chance to make a second challenge. Teams must have a timeout in order to call for a challenge; that timeout would not be retained even if a coach won that first challenge. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Today New York Liberty at Indiana Fever, 12:00 p.m. Connecticut Sun at Chicago Sky, 12:00 p.m. WNBA – WNBA All-Star skills competition now features teammates partnering up The WNBA is changing its All-Star skills challenge with the new format pitting four sets of teammates against each other in a head-to-head competition.

The 48-year-old Fitzgerald was fired on Monday by Northwestern President Michael Schill. Tennis – Elina Svitolina has the Ukraine war and her baby in mind as she beats Iga Swiatek Elina Svitolina is back in her first Grand Slam semifinal since 2019. She got there at Wimbledon by beating No. 1 Iga Swiatek in three sets Tuesday. Things are much different for Svitolina now than they were the last time she made it to the final four at a major tournament. She is a mother who gave birth to a daughter nine months ago and returned to the tour three months ago. And she is concerned about the war in her native Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia in February 2022. Svitolina will face Marketa Vondrousova for a berth in Saturday’s final. Novak Djokovic will play Jannik Sinner in the men’s semifinals. Golf – Saudi investment in PGA Tour will top $1 billion. And Norman will exit as CEO A PGA Tour executive has told Congress that Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund agreed to invest more than $1 billion in a new commercial entity controlled by the tour. Ron Price, the tour’s chief operating officer, also said at a hearing Tuesday that Greg Norman will be ousted as the CEO of LIV Golf if the business deal between the Saudis and the tour is finalized. The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations is looking into the negotiations between the tour and the Saudis and the geopolitical implications of Saudi investment in American sports. However, there was no indication that Congress would block the tour from going into business with the Saudi Public Investment Fund.

One change gives coaches a second challenge if their first one is successful. The other will mean a technical foul will be called against players who flop.

Teams must have a timeout in order to call for a challenge; that timeout would not be retained even if a coach won that first challenge.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show by discussing Cubs ace Marcus Stroman's future with the organization and right-hander Kyle Hendricks taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning of a win against the Giants on Saturday. Hendricks called his own pitches via his PitchCom device for the first time. Could that be a major advantage for him moving forward?

Not the most beloved pitcher across the AL East Kansas City Royals pitcher, Ryan Yarbrough talked about      "getting comfortable with being uncomfortable" Blue Jays lineup – George Springer, Bo Bichette, Vlad Jr, Alejandro Kirk, Chapman, Kevin Kiermaier, Whit Merrifield Kevin Kiermaier good solid player and fans love him. Dalton Varsho, Gold Glove finalist is a nice addition to the Jays – Toronto Fans appreciate a player who don't say so much & play hard. Bo Bichette – Tampa Bay Native – a solid defender, a strong 2 strike hitter & a 3 year & $33 million contract. Long Road Trip - Jays season began with 10 games on the road before returning to Rogers Centre where renovations are being made to the facility Do shorter games mean less time to eat & imbibe alcoholic beverages. A drunk Solution: Extend the number of innings when a fan can drink.

We're breaking down the news and talking about other cities (and countries) that could be a good fit for a new baseball team. Tampa won AGAIN and is now one win away from tying the record for most consecutive wins to start the season. Other topics today include a look back at Dallas's career and inspirational moments on his journey, Bryce Harper gearing up to play first base, Jarred Kelenic hitting an absolute BOMB, Blake Snell hating PitchCom, Edwin Diaz dropping hints about a return this season, and Ohtani getting checked for sticky stuff under his arm.

Max Muncy continued his ownership of the Giants, hitting two home runs and driving in seven runs in Monday night's win. Besides it being San Francisco, Muncy also went back to moving his foot back before his swing, and hopefully that leads to continued success. James Outman has earned Dave Roberts' trust against left-handed pitchers, and he earned that trust even more by drawing a key walk in the 6th inning. Lastly, Logan Webb was calling his own pitches with PitchCom and the guys were wondering if they like the way the Dodgers do it or if they want pitchers to be like Webb.Locked On Dodgers, the daily podcast about the Los Angeles Dodgers with hosts Jeff Snider and Vince Samperio, is part of the Locked On Podcast Network.Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers in the Audacy podcast app or wherever you get your podcasts, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you'll ever meet.

Baseball season is just a week old, but we've already been hearing a lot about a new technology that allows MLB pitchers and catchers to communicate with the push of a button, and thereby prevent sign-stealing -- PitchCom. And it turns out, the seemingly magical technology was, in fact, invented by two magicians. Today, The Athletic's Zach Buchanan introduces us to those two magicians, describes how their gizmo works (without giving away all of its secrets), and explains why these two, of all people, are the ones who seem to have solved one of baseball's oldest problems.Read Zach Buchanan's full story about PitchCom:https://theathletic.com/2951011/2021/11/18/its-magic-right-meet-pitchcom-the-device-created-by-two-magicians-to-solve-baseballs-sign-stealing-problem/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
