Athletes, scouts and recruiters at PBR tournaments and showcases will gain an unprecedented tool to train and measure the mental game.
Pison, a specialist in AI-powered neural sensors for mental health, wellness and gesture control is partnering with Prep Baseball to introduce the “sixth tool” – mental performance – for evaluating talent in the baseball scouting process. Pison devices, apps, and measurement platforms will be used by athletes and teams competing in PBR tournaments, workout showcases and premier national events.
Pison BASEBALL Pro’s aim is to revolutionize the game, specifically scouting and player development, by measuring and tracking key performance metrics such as reaction time and decision speed with millisecond precision. Pilot programs last spring with D1 Power Five, D3, and Junior College baseball teams demonstrated a strong correlation between measured Pison scores and on-field production. Through the partnership between Pison and Prep Baseball, players, coaches, scouts and recruiters can use these metrics to project on-field performance at the next level.
John Croteau, CEO, Pison, said: “Everyone understands that baseball is 90% mental, but we’ve never had a tool to train, measure and track that part of the game. Pison BASEBALL Pro provides the world’s first ‘mental chronometer,’ offering players a powerful tool to train and prepare for peak performance at PBR showcase events.”
“Partnering with Pison marks an exciting milestone for Prep Baseball as we bring cutting-edge technology to address a central part of the game – mental performance,” said Blake Hibler, President of Prep Baseball/PBR Tournaments.
