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.

Built for programs that can't justify a $10k analytics platform and a full-time analyst. JUCO, college, and high school baseball and softball programs who still deserve real data. WHAT YOU GET • Live pitch charting for games and bullpens, instant grading after every pitch • Full analytics history, command trends, tendencies, patterns that actually explain performance • Hitter analytics for your own lineup, every at-bat tracked • Opponent scouting, know what you're facing before you face it • Automatic email reports after every outing • Web portal analytics, accessible from anywhere WHY IT'S DIFFERENT ERA and batting average tell you what happened. NextPitch tells you why. The same level of insight teams pay analysts for, on a phone, in a couple taps. MY STORY I pitched at UC Riverside. Every outing, someone was stuck on a clipboard trying to chart pitches by hand, and the data went nowhere after the game ended. I built NextPitch myself, as a senior in college, because that didn't make sense to me anymore. I still run it myself today, so if you ever have a question, you're texting me, not a support queue. Free to start. Coach plan unlocks full history, hitter analytics, and opponent scouting. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
