PitchLink — From Sign Communication to Game Analysis Connect every moment of baseball, smarter. PitchLink is a sign communication and game tracking app built for amateur baseball players and teams. Use Apple Watch or a compatible controller to send signs, and manage game records and statistics all in one place. Improve communication between catcher and pitcher without complicated equipment, build a history of data from every game, and prepare for better performance. SIGN COMMUNICATION — FREE TO USE Use Apple Watch or a compatible game controller to select pitch types and locations, then deliver spoken signs through earphones connected to your iPhone. Map voice tokens to the buttons you want and customize the layout to match your team’s sign system. Custom voice recordings are also supported. On Apple Watch, you can intuitively select pitch types and locations within a 9-zone grid. Button layouts and actions can be customized from the Watch settings on your iPhone. During games, a dedicated dark interface helps you stay focused on sign communication. PITCHLINK TEAM — TURN DATA INTO PERFORMANCE PitchLink Team is an optional subscription for players and teams that want game tracking and analysis features. Record pitching, batting, and baserunning situations in real time and manage complete game logs. Analyze your data from multiple perspectives, including pitch usage by pitcher, pitch results, 9-zone location analysis, batting records, and season statistics. You can also review sign communication history and revisit data from previous games. The core sign communication features remain free to use even without a PitchLink Team subscription. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION PitchLink Team is offered as an auto-renewable subscription. Eligible new subscribers may be offered a 7-day free trial. After the free trial ends, the subscription automatically renews under the selected plan unless canceled through your Apple Account subscription settings before renewal. Actual pricing, currency, taxes, and the final amount charged may vary depending on your country or region, exchange rates, or App Store policies. The amount displayed on the App Store purchase confirmation screen is the final applicable price. PitchLink Team currently provides tracking and analysis features on an individual device. It does not guarantee shared team accounts or cloud-based data sharing between team members. BEFORE USING PITCHLINK IN A GAME Rules regarding electronic sign communication devices may vary by league and competition. Before using PitchLink, make sure to review the rules of your league or tournament and confirm with the umpire before the game that its use is permitted. Bluetooth and Apple Watch communication may be affected by distance, protective equipment, surrounding wireless interference, battery levels, and other environmental conditions. We recommend testing the connection and audio in the actual playing environment before a game.
