Hitting Approach provides a simple way to track the pitch location, pitch type (fastball, curveball, changeup), and result for all of the at bats in a baseball or softball game. Stat reports and charts are then created using this data that will show the strengths and weaknesses of each player on your team as well as your opponents. A post game QPA (Quality Plate Appearance) report and a pitching post game report are automatically generated for each player following a game. It is the player's responsibility to provide feedback on their performance in order to allow coaches to coach the players' mental approach to the game.
