In modern baseball, scouting isnt just an eye testits an arms race. Whether fleshing out holes in a swing with motion capture or using high-speed cameras to find the next killer curveball, each MLB team seeks an edge by modernizing how it scouts and develops prospects. Teams regularly hire outside firms to obtain data straight from the ballpark, then deliver the info to front office staffers in an effort to gain an edge over their peers. That arms race will end next year.
