The Big 12 will utilize TrackMan technology for the 2025 baseball season in its evaluation and training of umpires. The Conference first started using TrackMan in 2024.

The TrackMan system uses patented Optically Enhanced Radar Tracking (OERT) to deliver accurate results from a single, small system, which is used by all Big 12 schools and over 300 colleges around the country. This system will help in the evaluation of ball and strike calls in both the regular season and the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship.

"TrackMan is excited to enter into a long-term agreement with the Big 12 Conference to provide in-game data to help train and educate umpires," Trackman senior manager for baseball and softball James Snikeris said. "We are dedicated to improve the game experience for the student-athletes, coaches and fans and are excited that the TrackMan technology will be used by all 14 Big 12 baseball programs, illustrating the commitment of all Big 12 institutions to the sport."

TrackMan's stadium tracking unit and portable practice unit are used by all 30 teams in Major League Baseball, the top levels of the amateur game, collegiate summer leagues and is embedded in more than 500 stadiums around the globe.
