The article linked below cites Mizzou and two other college programs (Vandy & Wake Forest) as being the most advanced in use of technology in the baseball program and exceeding many major league franchises. Most of the article focuses on Mizzou.

From the article:
At Missouri, undergraduate students were the driving force behind many of the ways they use the technology in their practice facilities.

“The biggest thing has been the managers that we have at the university,” said Mizzou’s Corral. “Matt Kane, who is currently with the Pirates, he’s a triple-major here, an up and comer that writes the algorithms for our TrackMan. Gunnar Wilhelmy, now with the Indians, he got the analytics department at the university to do a baseball course, so that our managers could get accredited at the university. They are our MVPs, they do a lot of work, they give us our video and put in our numbers, prepare the numbers for us.”
