“In baseball, there are three things you can do. You can hit yourself, you can throw a ball, or you can catch a ball. Or you can fly a drone” – This is baseball’s new strategy according to Fox Sports for the next World Series of Baseball which begins this Friday. A flotilla of three compact drones will be used for the first time ever. In the past, drones have been used during All-Star and Field of Dreams Games baseball games.
For this World Series, Fox plans to use these three flying iron gentlemen to capture key moments such as relief pitches coming from the bullpen, warm-ups between innings and pitchers leaving the mound. To ensure the success of this high-tech experience, Fox collaborated with Beverly Hills Aerials, a specialized company which will operate the drones. Don’t expect to see these aerialists waltzing in the air, only one drone will be in flight at any given time. After all, “Three drones flying over a stadium are guaranteed drama!” “.
Drones help get a unique look at baseball games
The driver will be positioned outside the field, behind or between the relief pens. Thus, each drone, equipped with a 4K camera, will send images in 1080p HDR which will also be broadcast on the giant screens of the two stadiums. Drones with such clear image resolution, who would have thought?
The drone plans will complement Fox’s new UmpCam that it unveiled at this year’s ALDS. This camera, installed on the top of the home plate umpire’s mask, gives the latter’s point of view. In total, the channel will use 52 cameras during the World Series, including an aerial FlyCam, three DirtCams, 13 Super Motion Cameras and three RF cameras.
The World Series begins on Friday, October 27 at 8 p.m. ET when the Texas Rangers host the Arizona Diamondbacks for Game 1. In the meantime, let’s take to the skies and fly towards new perspectives with these drones, because after all, “Who doesn’t dream of seeing a home run in drone vision?” “.
