The HitTrax team recently had the privilege of traveling to Puerto Rico to visit the Carlos Beltrán Baseball Academy (CBBA) for an exciting installation of a HitTrax overhead unit. This visit was more than just a technological upgrade—it was an opportunity to witness firsthand the incredible training facility and academic programs that CBBA has built to empower young athletes.
During our time on campus, we had the pleasure of training the coaching staff on how to maximize the system’s features for both player development and performance analysis. Watching the student-athletes light up as they stepped into the cage to use the new technology was truly inspiring. From hitting sessions to simulated gameplay, the HitTrax system immediately brought a new level of engagement and excitement to their training.
One of the highlights of our trip was talking to Carlos Beltrán about his successful career, hitting philosophy, and his vision for the academy. He stated how if he had this technology while he was in the Big Leagues, it would have made him even better!
During our interview with him, his passion for developing well-rounded student-athletes—both on and off the field—was evident, and it was clear how deeply he values technology’s role in modern player development. Carlos shared his goals for the academy, including preparing these athletes for collegiate and professional opportunities. Together, we discussed how HitTrax will provide measurable insights, facilitate progress tracking, and help enhance player performance as they work toward their dreams.
“HitTrax brings an opportunity to our academy for the students to study themselves and make their own adjustments while they are hitting. Seeing their video replay while paired with their exit velocity and launch angle is extremely important, especially these days in the game of baseball.” – Carlos Beltrán, Founder of Carlos Beltrán Baseball Academy
It was an honor to contribute to such a meaningful program, and we’re excited to see how CBBA student-athletes leverage the power of HitTrax to sharpen their skills and achieve new milestones.
