ProSwing AI: Computer Vision Baseball Swing Analyzer & AI Hitting Coach
ProSwing AI is a mobile 3D pose tracking app for baseball hitters that analyzes swing mechanics using smartphone computer vision. It requires zero hardware bat sensors, tracks full-body biomechanics, and delivers automated fault detection with personalized corrective drills — all from your phone camera.
How ProSwing AI Analyzes Your Baseball Swing (No Hardware Required)
1. Mobile Capture: High-FPS Phone Camera & 3D Pose Detection
Record your swing with any smartphone camera. ProSwing AI uses MediaPipe Pose Detection to track 33 body joint landmarks in real-time at 30+ FPS via WebAssembly. No special lighting, tripods, or calibration needed — just point your phone and swing.
2. Biomechanical Audit: Kinematic Chain & Load-to-Impact Breakdown
The engine calculates the kinematic sequence — measuring rotational velocity transfer from pelvis through trunk to upper body. It captures hip-shoulder separation via vector dot product, pelvic angular velocity with 5-frame moving average filtering, and attack angle through lead arm atan2 computation.
3. Personalization: Automated Fault Detection & Corrective Drills
ProSwing AI automatically identifies mechanical flaws — casting, early extension, sway, lunging, and hand drop — then matches each with a personalized video drill. Your hitting coach is your phone, powered by biomechanical analysis calibrated against MLB average Statcast data.
Core Hitting Metrics & Mechanical Flaws Tracked
Stance, Load, and Hip-Shoulder Separation
Tracks your pre-swing setup alignment, load timing, and the angular difference between pelvic and shoulder rotation — the "X-Factor" that drives rotational power. Elite hitters generate 45–55° of separation at foot plant.
Bat Path, Attack Angle, and Time to Contact
Measures the vertical angle of your bat path through the hitting zone (optimal: −6° to +6°), swing plane consistency, and the duration from launch to contact point. SLAP (Swing Length Above Predicted) quantifies how far your path deviates from optimal.
Weight Transfer, Posture Stability, and Follow-Through
Evaluates how efficiently your weight shifts from back to front leg, maintains upright posture through rotation, and finishes with balanced follow-through. Tracks lead arm extension angle (optimal: 160–180°) and back elbow "Power L" position.
