WHAT YOU GET • Live pitch charting for games and bullpens, instant grading after every pitch • Full analytics history, command trends, tendencies, patterns that actually explain performance • Hitter analytics for your own lineup, every at-bat tracked • Opponent scouting, know what you're facing before you face it • Automatic email reports after every outing • Web portal analytics, accessible from anywhere WHY IT'S DIFFERENT ERA and batting average tell you what happened. NextPitch tells you why. The same level of insight teams pay analysts for, on a phone, in a couple taps. MY STORY I pitched at UC Riverside. Every outing, someone was stuck on a clipboard trying to chart pitches by hand, and the data went nowhere after the game ended. I built NextPitch myself, as a senior in college, because that didn't make sense to me anymore. I still run it myself today, so if you ever have a question, you're texting me, not a support queue. Free to start. Coach plan unlocks full history, hitter analytics, and opponent scouting. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Screenshot a GameChanger box score. Get a season. OnBaseIQ turns the box scores your team already keeps into a scouting report on your own club. Take as many screenshots as you need, overlap them however you like, and the whole game gets read and built out for you. THE PART NOBODY ELSE DOES Grade the arm you faced. One slider, once a game. From then on every average in the app means something, because you can see how your lineup holds up as the pitching gets better. That is the difference between a .300 hitter who did it against everybody and a .300 hitter who did it against nobody. FIVE REPORTS OFF ONE SEASON Season. A letter grade, your slash line, and what the numbers say in plain sentences. Hitting. Leaders, a heat map of every hitter against every level of pitching, and the full table. Pitching. The staff, every arm, and how each one holds up against a real lineup. Trends. Your last five games drawn over the season line, so form shows up weeks before an average moves. Scout. Every club you have played, toughest arms first. WE NEVER FUDGE A STAT A scorebook gets kept by hand in the bleachers, so rows go missing. That is normal and it is not ours to fix. We never invent, adjust or reconcile a number to make a total balance. When a game comes in short we say so, in the place you are reading the figure. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign up. Nothing uploaded, ever. Your season lives on your device and backs up wherever your iPhone backs up. Baseball and softball. iPhone and iPad. OnBaseIQ Pro 4.99 USD a month or 49.99 USD a year, and your first month is free. Lifetime access is 149.99 USD paid once, it does not renew, and there is no free month on it. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. A subscription renews automatically at the same price unless you turn renewal off at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://onbaseiq.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://onbaseiq.com/privacy
