Has potential

I came across the idea of pitch recognition training and thought it was an interesting idea. This app is currently the only one of its kind, but it has its limits. For starters the six pitch training minimum needs to be deleted. I personally want to work on the four most common pitches you see: four seam fastball, change up, curveball, and slider. The fastball and change up look great, but the curve ball and slider aren't held the way you'd see them live. The curve ball is held across the seam in the correct position but from the wrong angle. One wouldn't see the pitch approaching like that from the hand, rather they'd see the fingers on top and on the side pulling down and there is a very similar problem not displaying the view of the ball being held with the slicing action of throwing the slider. Also a baseball player already knows the arm slot 95% of the time and even though I chose overhand, it still changes where the image is displayed on the screen. It needs to be shown in a fixed position. Other than these three or four mishaps, this app is good and has a lot of potential. If an update were to come addressing these issues, I would change it to a five star rating.
