Smart devices are everywhere, and now they’re becoming a vital part of the sports world as well. Zepp, a sports-tracking company teamed up with wood bat maker Old Hickory and created the Old Hickory x Zepp Smart Bat. It’s not the first attempt to gather swing data, but it is the first one that features a tracker that is built-in, making it a true smart bat. The sensor is located in the knob of the bat and provides feedback during games and practices, all without having to remove it for data or to charge. Available for purchase in June, just in time for a run at the pennant.
