Have gotten a ton of DMs about fixed camera solutions at facilities so wanted to show off a set of cameras up and running on six fields at BLD Manteca in California.

These are Axis Cameras and each field has a two-camera setup- behind the plate and center field. The team's connect with these cameras and then all footage is synced to their scoring data producing highlight clips and archived videos.

If you run a facility, tournament, or league, let me know if you want to learn more.

While massive states like Texas and Florida obviously lead the pack in total games scored, I wanted to see what the map looked like when we leveled the playing field and adjusted for state population. The per capita data painted a surprisingly different picture:

• Nebraska is the undisputed champion. They score games at a rate 2.6 times higher than the national average.
• The entire Midwest forms a massive "Baseball/Softball belt" (South Dakota, Kansas, Iowa, and Illinois are all very dark blue).
• On the flip side, New Mexico scores at less than half the national average.

Why do you think scoring is so disproportionately high in Nebraska and the Midwest in general? I’d love to hear your theories!
