Taipei City: Hawk-Eye System Implementation at Tianmu Baseball Stadium

Meeting & Discussion

Technology Introduction:
Focusing on three core strategies—technology adoption, data application, and industry integration—this project installs the Hawk-Eye system at Tianmu Baseball Stadium to advance the application of sports science in professional baseball. The system captures precise performance data during games and training sessions, enhancing tactical analysis, player development, and spectator engagement, while supporting the commercialization of baseball technology.
Industry Applicability:
Aligned with the 2025 World Masters Games (Taipei & New Taipei) baseball events, AI-based baseball data collection will be implemented across 12 games, with data provided to participating teams. The Hawk-Eye system will be deployed at Tienmu Baseball Stadium to validate the electronic strike zone, achieving an error margin of less than 1 cm, on par with Major League Baseball’s Hawk-Eye accuracy, and is expected to further improve to 5 mm in the future. This advancement will not only reduce strike zone disputes but also enhance overall game flow and efficiency.

Ministry of Sports

The Sports Administration is the highest authority in the Republic of China (Taiwan) responsible for sports affairs. Its earliest predecessor was the Sports Committee, established in 1932 by the National Government. After multiple reorganizations, it was renamed and upgraded to a ministry-level agency under the Ministry of Education in 2025. The Administration aims to promote nationwide participation in sports, strengthen athlete development, advance the sports industry, foster international sports affairs, and support adaptive sports, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the nation’s athletic competitiveness. It also provides guidance to local governments on sports-related matters.
