## What is PlayersLab?

Built by Ethan O'Neal, solo founder.

PlayersLab is the player-development platform for serious baseball athletes — pitchers and hitters alike. Track what actually moves the needle, train with a coach in your pocket, and watch your game trend over time.

PICK YOUR PATH
Choose pitcher, position player, or two-way at sign-up, and the whole app adapts to you — your training, your metrics, your coaching.

FOR PITCHERS
• Log velocity and bullpens, import Rapsodo & TrackMan reports, and build your arsenal with movement plots.
• Biomechanical Movement Screening and a Mechanics Lab that breaks down your delivery frame by frame.
• Arm care, throwing programs, and workload tracking (acute-to-chronic) so you train the trend, not the ego.

FOR HITTERS
• A Spray Chart batted-ball lab, exit velo and bat speed tracking, and a Swing Lab that reads your sequencing and posture.
• Import hitting reports, log cage work, study a stance library, and find your MLB hitter comp.

COMPARE AND REVIEW FILM
• Put two bullpen or cage clips side by side and play them together in slow motion or frame by frame.
• Pull in older videos from your camera roll to compare.
• Mark up your own film with drawings and voice, then save the review.
• Message your coach privately, one to one. Coaches can compare clips from any player on their roster.

MEET COACH CY
Your development coach, 24/7. It reads your profile, workload, and recovery and gives specific, personalized answers — hitting-specific for hitters, pitching-specific for pitchers.

READINESS & RECOVERY
A daily check-in plus your workload and sleep build a readiness score, so you know what your body is ready for today.

FOR COACHES & TEAMS
Run a roster, monitor each athlete's readiness and workload, and see a team health view — built for academies, travel orgs, and programs.

START FREE

### 5/5 — My nephew loves the app

*2026-06-23*

I purchased this app for my nephew about a month ago and he loves it!  It monitors so much of his progress and has helped him with his pitching skills.  It monitors his sleeping pattern and assists with his recovery.  Well worth the money.  Never thought an app could be created with so many features.

**Developer response:** Appreciate this so much — glad he's getting after it. The piece we're proudest of is exactly what you described: tying his sleep and recovery to his actual throwing workload so PlayersLab can flag when he's ready to push vs. when to back off. Tell him to keep stacking good days, and we're at support@playerslab.io anytime.

### 5/5 — Best PITCHING app I’ve ever used

*2026-06-05*

Functionally, it’s the best pitching app I’ve used. Ability to track every aspect of my development from data, recovery, training, nutrition, you name it and it’s part of the program. Then to have AI functionality built in to assist with trends, tracking, recommendations, really make this app unreal. If you’re serious about development, every coach and player needs be using it.

**Developer response:** Appreciate you taking the time to write this — it means a lot. You nailed exactly what we set out to build: one place where your data, recovery, training, and nutrition actually talk to each other, so Coach Cy can surface the trends and tell you what to do next. That velocity-trend-against-workload-and-readiness picture is the insight a radar gun or a notebook just can't give you. Keep attacking your development — and pass it to a teammate. — The PlayersLab team

### 5/5 — Great Pitching App

*2026-06-02*

Has all the pitching tools you could need

**Developer response:** Appreciate the love, Boneal11 — fires us up to hear it this early. PitchLab.ai is built to be the full lab for serious arms: log every bullpen, watch your velo trend stack up against workload and readiness, and let Coach Cy break down your TrackMan and Rapsodo reports in plain English. We're shipping new tools constantly — keep grinding, and tell us what you want to see next. 💪

Stability and polish update.

• Smoother loading and scrolling across the app.
• Coach rosters and Team Reports now count any logged activity (catch play, check-ins, film, workouts, meals and more) as active, so athletes who are logging no longer show as inactive.
• Everything from the previous release (side-by-side clip compare, markup of your own film, private messaging, bullpen reports) is included.

### 1.0.63 — 2026-10-01

Compare your film side by side
• Pick any two bullpen or cage clips, set where each one starts, and play them together in slow motion or frame by frame to see exactly what changed.
• Bring in older videos from your camera roll to compare.
• Mark up your own clips: draw on them, talk through them, and save the review to your film.

For coaches
• Compare clips from any player on your roster and record one review with your drawings over both.
• Private one-to-one messaging with each player and coach, and you can delete your own messages.
• Bullpen reports: players rate how their body felt before and after, then send the session to you.
• Remove players from a team, see plain-English explanations of what's driving each athlete, and a new Coaches Mode walkthrough.
