Reds, MLB to switch from Trackman to Hawk-Eye to track plays

We are all familiar with Trackman, even if you don’t know it by the name. Statcast, the system that tracks the pitches thrown that show the strikezone on TV, and the system that tells you the estimation for how far the ball was hit – that’s Trackman. The reason the overall package is called Statcast is because there is another system in place that tracks the fielders movements for defensive purposes – and MLB just bunches it all together as one thing under “Statcast”.

Trackman, however, seems to be going away at the Major League level at least.
