You can't remember every pitch. Zone Traxx does. Coaches remember the big moments. Players remember how they felt. But development happens in the details — the pitch that got hit, the zone they keep chasing, the count they always struggle in. Zone Traxx captures everything automatically so coaches and players can see the truth about their game, make real adjustments, and develop faster. Track every pitch. Never miss a detail. Chart pitch location, type, and results in real time. The data compiles instantly into charts your players can actually learn from. No clipboards. No spreadsheets. No relying on memory. Works for baseball and softball. See what the pros see. Hot/cold zone heat maps, spray charts, swing %, chase %, in-zone %, and swing-and-miss % — the same metrics MLB and NCAA programs use, simplified for your dugout. Scout your opponents AND your own team. Track opposing pitchers and hitters to know their tendencies before they step in the box. But more importantly — understand your own players. See exactly where your team is strong, where they're vulnerable, and what to focus on in practice. Walk into every game with a plan. Leave every game knowing what to work on next. Built for coaches AND players. Share games instantly by text or email. Export printable PDF reports for the dugout, film sessions, or one-on-one development talks. Zone Traxx isn't just another analytics app. It's a development tool — built for baseball and softball coaches and players who want to keep getting better.

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.
