SEC to utilize ‘Hawk-Eye’ technology for baseball, softball video review in 2025

The SEC will utilize “Hawk-Eye” technology as the basis for its video review system in baseball and softball beginning with the 2025 conference seasons, the league office announced Tuesday.

Hawk-Eye’s “Synchronized Multi-Angle Replay Technology” system will be utilized for “video capture, replay, clipping and distribution,” with six cameras in each SEC stadium to supplement the regular broadcast cameras. The Hawk-Eye cameras will be used to assist replay officials on force and tag plays, as well as “timing” plays (i.e., a foot hitting the bag before a ball hits a glove and vice versa).

The SEC will continue its centralized replay system for the sixth straight year in baseball and fourth straight year in softball. The Hawk-Eye system was used in the fall 2024 SEC soccer season and is in use in the ongoing men’s and women’s basketball seasons.
