Pitch Call Pro vs TopStepHQ

With Pitch Call Pro you can use any device and any headset or earbuds for 1-way communication to call pitches, defensive plays, and issue reminders or encouragement. All pitch types, and locations are customizable. There are separate Pitch Calling menus for baseball and softball to further customize your experience. You can also set up 12 custom coach favorite pitches (per sport) and 12 custom pitcher favorite pitches (per pitcher). You also have access to 24 custom buttons where you can set your defensive play calls, issue reminders, cues, or encouragement, give commands, and even tell your catcher to call timeout to conference with your pitcher. You even have an umpires indicator at the bottom of the Pitch Calling menu; by long pressing on the count you can send the Balls, Strike, Outs status to your players. We're excited to bring you this release of Pitch Call Pro, but even more excited about the upcoming innovations that we are currently testing on real ball fields across the country.
