The ONLY WAY to actually get BETTER AT HITTING by playing on your phone. Seam Reading is the ability to recognize a pitch by how it looks. Each pitch has a different “face” that the spin creates. Knowing what each pitch looks like could be the difference between strike 3, or a home run. In Seam Reader all the balls and pitches use real life analytics in RPM as well as MPH. From a little league fastball all the way up to a major league heater, the app has it all. Discover what every pitch looks like in our one of a kind Learn Mode, that features 6 pitches for baseball and 6 for softball. Practice a variety of pitches and difficulties in the Batting Cage mode. Here speeds vary from your average little leaguer to your major league or Olympic level ace! Test your Seam Reading skills in Career Mode. With increasing variety of pitches and speeds, the accuracy is as real to life as it gets on a phone. Download now if you want to get better at “the hardest thing to do in sports” - hitting.
