发明名称 SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OBJECTIVELY MEASURING A PLAYER'S ABILITY
摘要 A system for objectively measuring a player's ability, such as the ability to field a baseball, including a programmable ball machine programmable to throw a ball to a player according to different plays; a back stop sensing unit for receiving a ball from a player; a display unit for displaying cues to a player indicating that the programmable ball machine will be throwing a ball; and a central processing unit for determining for each of the different plays a time period between when the programmable ball machine throws a ball and when the back stop sensing unit receives the ball from the player. The central processing unit uses the determined time period to calculate a score representing the player's ability.
