CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/699,385 of Krickler, filed on Jul. 15, 2005, entitled "METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZATION OF BASEBALL BATS AND THE LIKE," U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/719,199 of Krickler, filed on Sep. 22, 2005, entitled "METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZATION OF BASEBALL BATS AND THE LIKE," and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/722,009 of Krickler, filed on Sep. 30, 2005, entitled "METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZATION OF BASEBALL BATS AND THE LIKE," the entire disclosures of all of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention generally relates to method and systems for simulating sports performance, and more particularly to a method and system for optimization of the performance of a sport using a bat and a ball. [0004] 2. Discussion of the Background [0005] Over the years, methods and systems employing the use of radar(s) in object speed detection in sports and impact detection and targets, and other means for measuring object speed, software, etc., related to sports have been developed. However, such methods and systems fail to provide a robust method and system for optimization of the performance of a sport using a bat and a ball. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] Therefore, there is a need for a method and system that addresses the above and other problems. The above and other problems are addressed by the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, which provide an improved method and system for optimization of the performance of a sport using a bat and a ball, for example, including bat and ball detection using a plurality of radars within a batting cage and employing a target. [0007] Accordingly, in exemplary aspects of the present invention there is provided a system, method and computer program product for measuring batted ball performance, including measuring bat and ball speeds using two or more speed measuring devices; and determining elevation and azimuth of a batted ball using a target backstop with elevation and azimuth markings. [0008] Still other aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention are readily apparent from the following detailed description, by illustrating a number of exemplary embodiments and implementations, including the best mode contemplated for carrying out the present invention. The present invention is also capable of other and different embodiments, and its several details can be modified in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and descriptions are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0009] The embodiments of the present invention are illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings and in which like reference numerals refer to similar elements and in which: [0010] FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary Batted Ball Performance Measuring System; [0011] FIGS. 2-6 illustrate exemplary test results, as presented by an exemplary software analysis program or tool; [0012] FIG. 7 illustrates an exemplary Batted Ball Performance Measuring System employing five or more radars; [0013] FIG. 8 illustrates an exemplary Batted Ball Performance Measuring System employing three radars; [0014] FIG. 9 illustrates an exemplary Batted Ball Performance Measuring System employing a pitcher or pitching mechanism; [0015] FIG. 10 illustrates an exemplary Batted Ball Performance Measuring System employing a pitcher or pitching mechanism with tracking radar; [0016] FIG. 11 illustrates an exemplary system for measuring Response, Attention Span, and Reaction Time; [0017] FIG. 12 illustrates different exemplary test environments; [0018] FIG. 13 illustrates exemplary test results shown on a backstop; [0019] FIG. 14 illustrates an exemplary Player and Test Configuration Interface; [0020] FIG. 15 illustrates exemplary test results, including reaction time and response to stimulus; Continue reading about Method and system for optimiza of baseball bats and the like...
