Must have for Pitchers and Catchers. PitchCallingIQ is the pitch-calling sync trainer for baseball and softball. You and a partner each call pitches independently — same scenarios, same count, same situation — then come together to discuss where your thinking matched and where it didn't. It's not just about the score. It's about the conversation that follows. The debrief between a pitcher and catcher before they take the mound. The discussion between a player and coach about how they read a 3-2 count with runners on. The moment a parent understands why their kid threw a dropball low and away. PitchCallingIQ creates the shared context that makes those conversations possible. HOW IT WORKS The session creator picks the sport, pitches, and their role. Your partner joins using a session code and picks their role — the same pitch list is shared automatically. Work through the same real game scenarios — inning, count, outs, batter tendencies, swing timing, base runners, weather — and lock in your call independently. Neither player sees the other's call until you're both done. The Sync Report reveals your pitch vs. your partner's side by side: location accuracy, zone awareness, full sync score, and pattern analysis showing exactly what to talk through before your next game. REAL GAME SITUATIONS Over 15 billion unique scenario combinations across baseball and softball. Every session draws from real game context. Choose 10, 15, or 25 scenarios. No two sessions are ever the same. BOTH SPORTS FULLY SUPPORTED Baseball: 4 Seam, 2 Seam, Slider, Curveball, Changeup, Sinker, Cutter, Splitter, Forkball, Sweeper, Knuckleball. Softball: Fastball, Dropball, Riseball, Changeup, Curveball, Screwball, Off-speed. WHO IT'S FOR Pitchers and catchers building battery chemistry. Coaches who want to see how players read situations. Players and parents who want a shared language. Travel ball coaches evaluating how their battery reads pressure. High school and college players preparing for the next level. WORKS ACROSS TIME AND DISTANCE Sessions are async — your partner doesn't need to be online at the same time. Create a session, share your code via iMessage, complete your scenarios whenever works. The Sync Report unlocks the moment you're both done. PRO The sync score is free every session. Pro unlocks the full report: pitch-by-pitch breakdown, location accuracy, zone awareness, pattern analysis, and coaching insights.
