PlatePro
Read full descriptionHide full description
GameChanger tells you what happened. PlatePro helps you understand why. PlatePro is a baseball hitter-development app built for coaches who want to go beyond batting average, hits, and box-score statistics. Track each at-bat pitch by pitch and uncover the decisions, approaches, and quality of contact behind the result. Whether a hitter goes 3-for-4 or 0-for-3, PlatePro helps answer a more useful coaching question: What did the hitter actually do at the plate—and what should we work on next? UNDERSTAND SWING DECISIONS Track more than balls and strikes. Evaluate swings at strikes, swings at balls, takes on strikes, takes on balls, chase control, strike engagement, two-strike approaches, and plate-discipline trends. MEASURE CONTACT QUALITY Not every hit is a quality swing—and not every out is a bad at-bat. Track hard and soft contact, line drives, ground balls, fly balls, pull/middle/opposite-field contact, fouls, whiffs, and in-play results. TRACK QUALITY AT-BATS Evaluate what coaches value but traditional statistics often miss: Quality At-Bats, walks/HBP, strikeouts, productive outcomes, swing decisions, contact quality, and plate approach. PLATE DISCIPLINE REPORT Turn pitch-by-pitch decisions into an easy-to-understand view of a hitter’s approach. Identify zone-control strengths, chase tendencies, strike engagement, decision patterns, and areas for improvement. HITTER DEVELOPMENT AFTER THE GAME The game should not end when the final out is recorded. Connect performance to the next step with coach notes, player reflections, development goals, next-game focus, and training priorities. SEE DEVELOPMENT OVER TIME One game is a snapshot. Look across multiple games for patterns in swing decisions, plate discipline, contact quality, quality at-bats, strikeouts, walks, and hitter tendencies. BUILT FOR COACHES PlatePro is designed to be simple enough to use during a real baseball game while still providing meaningful development data afterward. Log pitches and outcomes as the game happens, then use the reports to guide conversations with players. MORE THAN STATS Traditional baseball apps are great at telling you the score, batting average, and what happened during the game. PlatePro is built for a different question: Why did it happen—and how do we help the hitter improve? Turn every at-bat into better information. Turn better information into better coaching. Turn better coaching into better hitters.
