Driveline Scales Swing Analysis to Every Athlete With Theia3D

Summary

Driveline set out to capture bat speed, bat path, and full-body mechanics at the same scale and intensity as their everyday training. With Theia3D’s markerless bat tracking, they now collect synchronized bat-and-body data from real swings—no sensors, no added workflow, no slowdown. The result is deeper swing diagnostics delivered at true Driveline volume, giving coaches clearer feedback and athletes more actionable development.

Overview

‍
Driveline Baseball has built its reputation on measurable performance, turning data into velocity, power, and durability. To push swing analysis beyond bat speed alone, Driveline needed a way to connect bat trajectory with body mechanics without slowing down training sessions or adding hardware.

Their goal: make full swing-context biomechanics accessible at the same volume and intensity that Driveline trains at every day.
‍

Driveline Baseball’s indoor training lab, where coaches adopted Theia3D to capture high-volume swing data with markerless bat and body tracking. — Driveline needed a way to capture swing volume at scale without sacrificing biomechanical accuracy. Their solution was Theia3D—bringing lab-grade bat and body tracking into their everyday training environment.

The Challenge
‍

Wearable and sensor-based tools captured only one athlete at a time.
Setup and calibration workflows disrupted high-volume training flow.
Bat and body data came from separate systems, requiring extra alignment and post-processing.
‍

Swing capture feeding into Theia3D’s markerless reconstruction, showing synchronized bat-path and full-body kinematics in a unified workflow without sensors or bat hardware. — *With Theia3D’s markerless bat tracking, Driveline can capture bat path and body kinematics together in a single, unified workflow. No sensors, no bat hardware, and no extra burden on staff.*

The Solution
‍

With Theia3D’s markerless bat tracking, Driveline can capture bat path and body kinematics together in a single, unified workflow. No sensors, no bat hardware, and no added workload for staff.

Theia3D fits directly into Driveline’s existing training model, enabling hitters to swing naturally at full intent while coaches collect synchronized bat + body data from everyday practice sessions.

Motion capture that used to require dedicated sessions and long prep time can now be deployed directly on the floor, as part of their normal training environment.
‍

Side-by-side view of a hitter’s swing with Theia3D automatically tracking the bat path and full-body kinematics, providing synchronized 3D insight for coaches and performance staff. — Theia3D automatically detects the full 3D bat path alongside complete body kinematics, giving coaches and performance staff deeper swing diagnostics, more targeted interventions, and faster feedback during everyday training sessions.

Early Impact
‍

Workflow built for rapid setup with zero athlete prep time.
Supports high-volume capture across large groups of athletes.
Unified bat+body data in a single workflow.
Coaches can analyze real training swings rather than lab-only sessions.
‍

A Driveline coach reviewing swing analysis data with a hitter inside the training environment. — Theia3D gives Driveline coaches instant access to synchronized bat–body data directly in the training environment, enabling clearer, faster feedback for hitters.
‍

“Theia gives us the full picture – the swing and the body working together in real training environments.”

— Joe Marsh, Principal Engineer, Driveline Baseball

Markerless Bat Tracking Q&A for Pro Baseball Performance Staff

If you’re a professional performance coach, hitting coordinator, or biomechanics professional, you’ve likely heard about markerless bat tracking. This Q&A covers how it works, what’s required to run it, and the key questions performance staff are asking.

How PLNU × Padres Captures Game-Speed Swing Data With Theia3D

The PLNU × Padres Biomechanics Lab set out to measure swings the way athletes actually perform them—at full intent, in real training environments. With Theia3D, the team now captures synchronized bat and body mechanics without markers, sensors, or workflow disruption. Early results reveal what game-speed swings truly look like and why this shift is reshaping both research and player development.

Assessing the Accuracy of Markerless Motion Capture for High-Speed Baseball Pitching

A new peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Sports Sciences (Nov 2025) evaluated the accuracy of two multi-camera markerless motion capture systems – including Theia3D – against a marker-based reference during high-speed baseball pitching. Using synchronized captures from 18 collegiate pitchers throwing max-effort fastballs in an MLB stadium, the study assessed joint position accuracy, kinematic waveform agreement, and kinetic metrics of interest for injury and risk assessment.
