Former MLB Players Lead Ember Sports Mobile App, Bringing Pro-Level Training to Athletes Everywhere

Published

26 minutes ago

April 21, 2026

The MLB veterans say platform is a “game changer” for athletes at every level

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sports technology company Ember Sports is bringing professional-level baseball and softball training tools to athletes nationwide through a new mobile app developed in collaboration with former Major League Baseball players and coaches Brady Clark and Damon Mashore. Designed to make advanced player development more accessible, the platform delivers real-time performance insights using a mobile device, eliminating the need for costly hardware or exclusive facility-based systems.

Clark and Mashore, former MLB outfielders with a combined 18 seasons in the major leagues, now serve in leadership roles at Ember, helping guide the platform’s development and real-world application. Clark is the company’s Chief Operating Officer, while Mashore serves as Chief Integration Officer. Their involvement reflects a broader shift toward making the types of training tools once reserved for professional athletes available to players at every level.

Leveraging built-in iOS video capture, Ember’s mobile app provides immediate, actionable feedback through tools such as its Hitting and Pitching Analyzers. Athletes can review performance using video replay, telestration and side-by-side comparisons, allowing for deeper analysis of swing mechanics, pitch execution and overall performance.

The platform also introduces virtual reality capabilities designed to enhance training in ways that are difficult to replicate in traditional environments. A key feature is Ember’s ability to teach pitch tunneling, an advanced skill in which multiple pitches follow the same initial path before breaking differently, making them more difficult for batters to recognize and hit.

“Teaching hitters how to see the ball the way MLB players do has always been one of the hardest things to train,” Mashore said. “With Ember’s technology, we’re able to simulate that in a meaningful way. That’s a big step forward.”

With more than 25 million baseball and softball athletes across the United States, access to advanced training tools has often been limited by cost and availability. Ember aims to expand that access with a subscription starting at $12.99 per month, delivering data and insights traditionally available only at the professional level.

“This is truly disruptive technology because of how easy it is to use and the low-cost barrier,” said Clark. “It opens the door for more players at every level. From the conversations Damon and I have had across our baseball network, the reaction is usually, ‘I can’t believe you guys can do this.’ Especially with VR, no one has been able to teach how we ‘see’ the ball.”

By removing the need for specialized equipment and training facilities, Ember is expanding access to high-level development tools once reserved for the big leagues. Its virtual reality platform places athletes in customizable environments that simulate live pitching with adjustable speed, movement and location, helping improve pitch recognition, timing and decision-making.

“You’re either on the forefront of technology or you’re behind the game,” Mashore added. “Being able to deliver this level of insight to players outside of the professional level at such an affordable cost is simply a game changer.”

With leadership rooted in decades of professional playing and coaching experience, Ember Sports is entering the market with strong credibility and a focus on accessibility, aiming to bring professional-grade training within reach for the next generation of baseball and softball athletes.

About Ember Sports
Ember Sports is a sports technology company redefining baseball and softball training through accessible and affordable data-driven performance tools. Available on iOS and VR platforms, Ember’s Hitting Analyzer, Pitching Analyzer and immersive VR experiences deliver real-time metrics, video capture and advanced pitch recognition training, all without the need for expensive hardware. By removing traditional costs and facility barriers, Ember is driving the future of training for the next generation of athletes.

Rockwell Automation to Demonstrate Cloud‑Connected Factory Design and Industrial Operations with AWS at Hannover Messe 2026

Published

26 minutes ago

April 21, 2026

DUSSELDORF, Germany, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, will demonstrate new approaches to factory design and industrial operations at Hannover Messe 2026, highlighting how cloud‑connected data, digital twins, autonomous systems and industrial AI can work together to support more flexible, resilient manufacturing. The joint demonstrations will run 20-24 April at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) booth in Hall 15, Stand D76.

The presentations combine Rockwell’s industrial automation, factory design software and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) with AWS cloud and analytics capabilities, illustrating how manufacturers can connect physical operations with cloud‑based intelligence to gain deeper visibility and drive continuous optimization.

As part of the demonstration, Amazon’s Global Engineering Services team will show how it uses Rockwell’s Emulate3D™ dynamic digital twin software to create digital twins of fulfillment and industrial environments. Digital twin models enable teams to evaluate layouts and operational sequences early in the design phase, including physics-based simulation that connects to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), to complete testing and commissioning activities more efficiently. The digital twin is used pre-launch to test designs without physical hardware and discover errors before commissioning and then again post-launch to validate performance.

“Manufacturers are being asked to operate with greater agility while managing increased complexity across production and logistics,” said Felix Tang, senior manager strategic partnerships, Rockwell Automation. “By combining our industrial automation and domain expertise with AWS, we’re showing how manufacturers can connect data from machines, robots and material flow into a shared foundation that supports smarter decision‑making at scale.”

In collaboration with Amazon and AWS, Rockwell will show how digital twin environments can be deployed using a cloud-based architecture on AWS. The approach reflects how manufacturers can use cloud infrastructure to support distributed factory design and commissioning activities.

The companies will also show autonomous operations enabled by mobile robots. Industrial operations have traditionally relied on fragmented data from production equipment, material handling systems and enterprise applications. This lack of integration makes it difficult to understand how decisions in one area, such as logistics or workforce deployment, impact overall performance.

At Hannover Messe, Rockwell and AWS will show how these challenges can be addressed through a connected, cloud‑based scenario, using a simplified production logistics workflow to represent real‑world operations. While AMRs from OTTO, a Rockwell Automation company, manage material movement, a humanoid robot will demonstrate human‑centric tasks such as handling materials and engaging with visitors. Together, these systems generate operational data that can be aggregated through Rockwell software and securely connected to AWS, enabling insights beyond the factory floor across production, logistics and workforce activities.

The display highlights a shared data foundation, where data from autonomous systems is captured once and reused across monitoring, analytics and optimization workflows. By combining autonomous robotics, industrial software and cloud‑based analytics and AI, the demonstration shows how manufacturers can remove silos and shift from reactive to more adaptive, data‑driven operations.

In addition to existing offerings, Rockwell plans to make selected industrial software applications available through AWS Marketplace, including:
