The Email
“One thing in specific we are looking for is picking up signs coming out of the dugout,”
“What we are looking for is how much we can see, how we would log things, if we need cameras/binoculars, etc. So go to games, see what you can do and report back your findings.”
Signs are how the pitcher and catcher communicate
What Are Signs?
A system of hand gestures allows them to plan pitches without the other team overhearing.
Trash Cans, Whistles, and Buzzers, Oh My!
What The Astros Did
Using a high definition video camera, the Astros captured signs from center field and broadcast them to their clubhouse.
