Case Study: PocketBlue achieves real-time baseball analytics with AccelOne’s AI sports platform

PocketBlue launches real-time baseball analytics from a single smartphone with AccelOne

PocketBlue is a sports technology platform that faced the challenge of building a real-time AI system to analyze live baseball games. Their goal was to understand game context, track player actions, and deliver accurate scoring using only a single smartphone camera, all without relying on complex infrastructure. AccelOne partnered with them to architect and build this end-to-end AI ecosystem.

AccelOne developed a distributed AI platform consisting of three integrated applications: a Recorder App for on-device computer vision, a Controller App for remote oversight, and a Fan App for live analytics. The solution enabled real-time player detection and game-state analysis from a single smartphone, automated scorekeeping workflows, and established a scalable cloud architecture. For PocketBlue, this resulted in a significant intellectual property asset that lowers operational overhead and provides fans with live game intelligence, with a platform built for expansion into other sports.
