Manage multiple athletes from a single account — perfect for families with siblings in different sports or seasons. Family Logins for Teen Athletes Give your athlete (13 to 17) their own login, linked to your account. They can record and tag clips and see their own profile, including feedback from their coaches. They can't buy anything, add a coach, or share outside the app unless you allow it. Approve, pause, or revoke their login any time. Work With a Private Instructor Share clips directly with your hitting, pitching or swing coach. Coaches can run live lesson sessions, draw right on the video to break down mechanics, add drill cards, and send feedback — all in one place. Built for Families and Coaches Designed for the people who see the work behind the wins, and for the athletes putting it in. PlayerPath makes it easy to celebrate effort, not just outcomes.

Built by Ethan O'Neal, solo founder. PlayersLab is the player-development platform for serious baseball athletes — pitchers and hitters alike. Track what actually moves the needle, train with a coach in your pocket, and watch your game trend over time. PICK YOUR PATH Choose pitcher, position player, or two-way at sign-up, and the whole app adapts to you — your training, your metrics, your coaching. FOR PITCHERS • Log velocity and bullpens, import Rapsodo & TrackMan reports, and build your arsenal with movement plots. • Biomechanical Movement Screening and a Mechanics Lab that breaks down your delivery frame by frame. • Arm care, throwing programs, and workload tracking (acute-to-chronic) so you train the trend, not the ego. FOR HITTERS • A Spray Chart batted-ball lab, exit velo and bat speed tracking, and a Swing Lab that reads your sequencing and posture. • Import hitting reports, log cage work, study a stance library, and find your MLB hitter comp. COMPARE AND REVIEW FILM • Put two bullpen or cage clips side by side and play them together in slow motion or frame by frame. • Pull in older videos from your camera roll to compare. • Mark up your own film with drawings and voice, then save the review. • Message your coach privately, one to one. Coaches can compare clips from any player on their roster. MEET COACH CY Your development coach, 24/7. It reads your profile, workload, and recovery and gives specific, personalized answers — hitting-specific for hitters, pitching-specific for pitchers.
