1. A method of tagging pitch data in a data processing system, the method comprising:
locally storing information to create locally stored information in a wireless transmitter of a wireless baseball signal calling system for intended pitch type signal transmissions output by the wireless transmitter to a pitcher-worn wireless receiver, the intended pitch type signal transmissions informing a pitcher wearing the pitcher-worn wireless receiver which pitch type to throw prior to throwing a pitch, the locally stored information including intended pitch type for a pitch;
storing ball flight parameters measured by a ball flight measuring system for a pitch to generate measured ball flight parameters;
obtaining the locally stored information in the wireless transmitter;
correlating the measured ball flight parameters and the locally stored information in the wireless transmitter to generate a record of a pitch that comprises an intended pitch type for the pitch and the measured ball flight parameters for the pitch by comparing a time that the information was transmitted by the wireless transmitter before a particular pitch to the time that the ball flight parameters for that particular pitch was measured; and
storing the record for each pitch of a series of pitches in a persistent memory of the data processing system.
