One Swing That Moved the World

A Full End-to-End Journey Through Sportradar’s Technology Platform

It starts on a warm August afternoon on Chicago’s North Side. Chicago and San Diego are tied 2–2 in the bottom of the sixth. Two outs. A runner on first. Chicago’s red-hot first baseman—one of the league’s most dangerous late-season hitters—steps in.

San Diego’s ace fires a 96-mph fastball up and in. The Chicago hitter unleashes a perfect, explosive swing. The ball jumps off the bat, soaring toward the left-field bleachers.

A heartbeat later, it’s gone—a towering two-run shot. The stadium explodes.

To fans, it’s pure magic.

To Sportradar, it’s the spark that activates a global, interconnected engine.

From the Field to the World in Milliseconds

Before the hitter finishes rounding the bases, the moment has already passed through our entire real-time pipeline.

On-site operators and computer-vision systems capture everything instantly, including:

  • Exit velocity
  • Distance
  • Launch angle
  • Pitch type
  • Baserunner movement
  • Game state

Within milliseconds, that information is verified, structured, and pushed into Sportradar’s unified data engine—powering experiences across continents.

APIs That Quietly Update the Sports Universe

The first stop: our Sports Data APIs.

They immediately update hundreds of experiences without human intervention.

  • Fantasy platforms award points and reorder thousands of lineups.
  • Publishers watch their live game trackers flip from 2–2 to 4–2.

Broadcasts Turn Raw Data Into Story

Inside the broadcast truck, new context appears automatically, powered by our research and storytelling tools.

Including:

  • Chicago’s first baseman has homered five times in the last twelve days.
  • It’s his third against San Diego this season.

Within seconds, a complete graphic is ready. Moments later, the booth turns it into a narrative: “Chicago’s cleanup hitter has been unstoppable. That’s his fifth this month, and few are hit harder.”

One swing becomes a fully contextualized story.

Real-Time Marketing Activates Automatically

Across digital platforms, marketers see instant ripple effects.

A regional publisher using Sportradar’s advertising tools watches a campaign trigger the moment the ball clears the wall. Live stats, visuals, and context flow into a fresh creative automatically.
