Diamond Scout turns a game's play-by-play into the scouting report you want before the first pitch. Share or paste a game's play-by-play and Diamond Scout reads it line by line — who batted, where the ball went, how the at-bat ended — then builds spray charts, batting lines, and a plan for the team you face next. Everything it finds is shown to you for review before a game is saved. SPRAY CHARTS THAT READ AT A GLANCE Every batted ball is placed on the field and labelled with a two-letter code, so the shape of a hitter is obvious in one look. Green is a hit, red is an out, grey is a sacrifice. Filter any chart to hits, outs, sacrifices, ground balls, or balls in the air. HITTERS AND THEIR TENDENCIES Full batting lines with average, on-base, slugging, and OPS. Sort by any stat, set a minimum plate-appearance threshold so small samples stop topping the list, and open a hitter for a game-by-game log and an average trend. A DEFENSIVE PLAN, NOT JUST DATA Diamond Scout reads each hitter's spray and tells your fielders where to stand, in steps, scaled to the field you actually play on — 46/60, 50/70, or 60/90. When a hitter genuinely sprays the ball everywhere, it says so plainly instead of inventing a shift that opens both gaps. DIAMOND IQ: THE WHOLE OPPONENT AT ONCE Pick any team on your file and get the read before you see them — first-pitch tendencies, two-out damage, where in the order the damage sits, whether their starter fades the second time through, when in the game they score, who runs and who gets caught, and whether they will bunt. Every finding says how many trips it rests on, and nothing is said until a team has 25 plate appearances on file, because a rate built on fewer sounds confident and is wrong. POCKET CARDS FOR THE FIELDERS The scouting screen is organised by hitter — right for the coach preparing, wrong for the boy in right field. Printed fielding cards pivot the same plan: nine cards, one per position, each carrying the whole opposing order with that fielder's own instruction beside every hitter. Six to a landscape sheet with faint lines along every cut, each folding once into a back pocket. A full set — nine fielders plus three for the dugout — is two pages. PITCHING REPORTS Strike and ball rates, strikeouts looking and swinging, walks, hit batters, ground-ball rate, hits and extra-base hits allowed, innings, and the putaway pitch — whatever the play-by-play gives up. BUILT FOR THE DUGOUT A lineup card for the nine hitters you are about to face, count-leverage splits, speed profiles from baserunning, and a dugout mode read at arm's length. Every card notes how much data sits behind it, so you know when a number is a hint and when it is a pattern. A ROSTER THAT LEARNS Correct a name once and the original spelling is kept as an alias, so the same player is recognised next time you import. Merge duplicates, set handedness, and keep opponents separate from your own team. YOURS, AND YOURS ALONE Every game is read and every statistic computed on your own device, and the whole app works signed out — no account is required to scout, chart, or print. Sign in only to sync your games to your other devices or share them with your staff. Back up to a file whenever you like and restore it on a new phone. Share a player card or scouting report as an image. A demo season is built in, so every screen has real baseball in it before you import anything. Diamond Scout is free to install and includes five game imports. Diamond Scout Pro unlocks unlimited importing for $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in Settings. Games you have already imported stay readable whether or not you subscribe.
