TORONTO, AUGUST 14, 2023– In a groundbreaking move that demonstrates the continuous innovation within the world of baseball, a Japanese team from the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) league has announced its adoption of the Trajekt Arc™ pitching robot for batting practice. The Trajekt Arc™, a cutting-edge pitching robot known for its ability to replicate the pitches of any pitcher in the league, has already found widespread acceptance among Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, with half of the league currently utilizing the technology on a daily basis.

By utilizing Trajekt Arc™, the NPB team aims to provide its players with an unparalleled training experience, as they face a diverse range of pitches, speeds, and movements, imitating those of their rivals and renowned pitchers in the league. This advanced training tool is expected to enhance their reflexes, decision-making abilities, and strategic approaches, further elevating their performance on the field.
Trajekt, the company behind the innovative pitching robot, is excited about its expansion into the NPB market. With its successful integration in the MLB and now the NPB, Trajekt Arc™ is poised to become an indispensable component of baseball training worldwide.
