CatcherCom

CatcherCom turns your phone into a dugout pitch-calling system. Pair a single Bluetooth earpiece to the catcher, and call pitches from the bench — no shouting, no signs to steal. HOW IT WORKS - Tap a pitch type, then a location — your catcher hears it spoken instantly in the earpiece (e.g. "Fastball, up and in"). - Hold the Talk button to speak live to your catcher, walkie-talkie style. - "Repeat last" replays the previous call. BUILT FOR THE DUGOUT - Big, high-contrast buttons made for quick taps in bright sun. - Calling mode keeps the Bluetooth link awake so the first word is never clipped. - Works fully offline — no accounts, no internet, no second phone. MADE YOUR WAY - Choose which pitches show: Fastball, Curveball, Changeup, Slider, Splitter, Cutter, Knuckleball — or add your own custom pitches. - Switch the location buttons to a 9-box strike-zone grid, with a Righty/Lefty toggle that flips inside/outside automatically. - Pick the spoken voice and adjust the talking speed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The microphone is used only for live push-to-talk — audio is never recorded, saved, or sent anywhere. CatcherCom collects no data and never connects to the internet. NOTE FOR COACHES Electronic communication rules vary by league and division. Please confirm your league's rules before using CatcherCom in a game. It's always a great fit for practice and bullpens.
