Pitch F/X Summit

This weekend, MLB.com and sportsvision are hosting the third Pitch F/X Summit in San Francisco. 

At SABR 40, both were present at a panel moderated by Alan Nathan along with several Pitch F/X gurus.  The Summit is going to be Webcast, so you can watch online at their site.  The conference is going to have a lot of focus on the FIELD F/X project, with presentations using the data gathered thus far at the SF park.
