## What is PitchGuessr?

Know where your opponent will pitch before they do.

PitchGuessr is the ultimate companion app for MLB The Show players. Track your opponent's pitching patterns in real time and use built-in predictions to anticipate their next pitch — giving you the competitive edge at the plate.

— HOW IT WORKS —

During each at-bat, tap the zone where each pitch lands on a 25-zone grid. Log the count and handedness matchup as you go. PitchGuessr builds a live pitch map of your opponent's tendencies — one at-bat at a time.

After just a few innings, you'll start seeing patterns:
• Where they attack on 0-0 counts
• How they work lefties vs. righties
• Their go-to zone when the count is full
• Whether they pound the zone or work the edges

Two built-in prediction models help you read the game:

STANDARD MODEL — Predictions filtered by the exact current count and handedness matchup. Shows where your opponent throws in this specific situation.

MATCHUP MODEL — Broader predictions using handedness only, ignoring the current count. Great for early in a session before count-specific data builds up.

Both models are available on the Free tier — tap the model name in the status bar to switch instantly during a game.

— FEATURES —
