6-4-3 Charts Pitch Tracking puts a full charting workflow in your pocket. Log a game, a bullpen, or a freestyle session pitch by pitch from the dugout, and read the numbers back the same day. Built for travel, high school, and JUCO programs that chart their own games. What you log on the phone is in your 643 account on the desktop, and what is already there opens here. CHART A GAME Tap the strike zone to place the pitch, then the outcome: ball, called strike, swinging strike, foul, in play, or hit by pitch. Add pitch type, velocity, contact type, spray location, the fielder, and the baserunners. Choose Full for the whole picture, or Lite to get through a game in four taps a pitch. LINEUPS THAT FIT THE DAY Build a batting order from your roster. When you do not have the other team's names, chart against handedness instead and keep your platoon splits honest. Add a player without leaving the lineup. BULLPENS Pick the intent zone, then the pitch. Balls and strikes are counted per pitcher from where the ball actually finished, so the tally matches what you watched. INSIGHTS Every session a player appears in, as pitch locations, contact allowed, arsenal, and velocity. Read the charts raw, a dot per pitch, or zonal, in the same zone illustration and spray buckets your 643 reports use. Open a game down to the inning, the at bat, and the pitches inside it. SHARE A SESSION Turn any session into a PDF on the device and send it from your phone. WORKS WHERE THE FIELD IS Pitches queue on the device when the signal drops and send themselves when it returns. A field with no bars does not cost you an inning. An active 6-4-3 Charts account is required to sign in.
