What if every swing, every pitch, every game could become a data-powered stepping stone to
getting better?
That’s the world Diamond Kinetics is building — and it’s evolving far beyond its origins as a bat
sensor company born out of the University of Pittsburgh.
Today, Diamond Kinetics is a full-fledged youth sports platform, blending hardware, software,
and content into a seamless experience for athletes, coaches, and families. The company’s
technology captures the nuances of athletic performance, from swing mechanics to in-game
moments, then transforms that data into actionable insights and shareable memories.
But this isn’t just about stats. It’s about connection.
Through live streaming, highlight generation, and performance analytics, Diamond Kinetics is
helping families stay closer to the game — whether they’re in the stands or across the country.
At the same time, it’s empowering young athletes to understand and improve their skills in
ways that were once reserved for elite players.
A major catalyst behind this growth is the company’s deep partnership with Major League
Baseball. As MLB’s trusted youth development platform, Diamond Kinetics is helping reimagine
how the next generation engages with the sport — blending tradition with technology to keep
baseball relevant and accessible in a digital-first world.
For CEO C.J. Handron, the mission is personal. A lifelong athlete and coach, he sees the
company’s impact firsthand — from kids using smart bats at local fields to teams streaming
games for distant relatives. It’s those moments, where technology quietly enhances the
experience, that define the company’s success.
Now, the focus is scale. Diamond Kinetics aims to reach 10 times more users in the coming
years, expanding its platform to more communities and more sports families around the world.
In a city that knows a thing or two about sports, Diamond Kinetics is proving that the next big
innovation isn’t just played on the field — it’s powered behind the scenes.
Running backs grind out yardage, break through resistance, and deliver when it matters most.
Diamond Kinetics is scaling AI-powered sports technology that turns real-time performance data into measurable improvement for baseball athletes. CJ Handon, CEO and Co-founder, knows that nothing beats Pittsburgh for building sports tech and his path to success by helping athletes prepare for the big leagues proves he’s field tested.
