Question was asked on:

By rethinking the simple baseball, and the customers who buy it, Rawlings designed a baseball called the "radar ball." Using simple information technology, they created a baseball with a microchip that digitally shows how fast the ball is thrown after each throw. The result is a fun, inexpensive alternative to costly radar guns. But more importantly, Rawlings found a way to increase social interaction, taking a game of catch to a different level and creating a different experience.
