Please post a link to the study. Which teams exactly?

That's the reason I asked the facility my daughter and I used had one of these machine and I actually liked it. My thought was this would be taking that technology to the next level and would be really interesting to see in action.Pro Batter and Joyner Technologies (All-Star) have Video Pitching Machine Simulators. Mostly in softball facilities. Batting cage with Projection Screen in front of a programmable pitching machine. Image of a pitcher projected onto screen, and timed with windup so ball comes through a hole in the screen. But video doesn't change for the type of pitch.
Others can comment on effectiveness.
ProBatter is a true "simulator" -- but hard (and expensive) to set up in the basement! The gameSense app usually is interactive, where the user clicks or touches screen to guess pitch type and ball/strike. But people started using it like this college baseball team, so we made a mode for showing on big TV or projected on a screen or wall or sheet. Videos are 2-3 min. and play straight through -- first the cut-off pitch (hitter hits off tee or ghost swing), then the full replay of the same pitch to see shape of the pitch. Pretty retro technology -- not much different from the sheet I nailed to a rafter in our unfinished basement so daughter hit could hit balls off tee into sheet for hours at a time (circa 1999)!That's the reason I asked the facility my daughter and I used had one of these machine and I actually liked it.
