Features
Read full description

First Pitch Strike (FPS) is designed to track and store information about pitches thrown by a pitcher. The app has a user-friendly interface that allows coaches and players to input data about pitch type, speed, location, and result for each pitch. During a practice session, the app can be used to track the pitches thrown by a pitcher, providing detailed statistics for each practice session. This includes information about the number of pitches thrown, pitch type breakdown, average pitch speed, and pitch location. In addition to tracking pitches in practice, the app also allows users to record and track pitches thrown during games. The app stores game-by-game statistics and allows users to review their performance over time.  To assist with analyzing pitching performance, the app provides a pitch-by-pitch playback feature, which allows users to view individual pitches and analyze the details of each pitch. FPS also enables users to share their pitch data with others, such as coaches and teammates, directly within the application. This feature allows for collaboration and feedback on pitching performance and can help players improve their skills. Overall, First Pitch Strike is an essential tool for players and coaches who want to track and improve their pitching performance.
