Call Home vs NextStrike

Every other pitch-calling option either didn’t work reliably, required expensive hardware or cost too much. Call Home was created to give teams a simpler, more affordable alternative using an iPhone and Apple Watch. TRY IT FREE Coaches receive their first 50 live-game pitch calls free, providing an opportunity to try Call Home during actual game action. After the first 50 calls, the coach app is just $9.99 per month. Only the coach needs a subscription. The Apple Watch player app is always free; players pay nothing to receive calls. BUILT FOR BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL Call Home includes separate baseball and softball interfaces designed around the way each sport calls pitches. Choose Baseball or Softball in Settings, and the app immediately displays the appropriate interface and sport-specific default pitch choices. The dedicated softball interface features softball pitch defaults—including rise, drop and screwball options—and bright softball-yellow styling. Pitch selections can be customized for each individual pitcher in either sport. NO SPECIALIZED HARDWARE TO BUY There is no need to purchase expensive pitch-calling transmitters, receivers, wristbands or proprietary hardware. The Call Home player app for Apple Watch is free. Players pay nothing to receive calls. THREE WAYS TO RECEIVE EACH CALL Every team can decide how its players receive calls: • Visually on Apple Watch • Verbally through AirPods paired with Apple Watch • Privately through Apple Watch haptic feedback A pitcher or catcher can view the call on the Watch, hear it through an AirPod or rely on haptic feedback. How the call is received is completely up to the player, coach and team. PRIVATE TEAM CONNECTION The coach chooses a private Watch Code in the iPhone app. The code can be a team name, secret word or anything the coach chooses. Players enter the same code in the Call Home Watch app to connect with the coach. The code remains hidden while pitch calls are displayed, helping protect the team’s communication during the game. BUILT FOR GAME DAY • Send pitch and location calls in seconds • Receive confirmation when the player gets the call • Run a three-call pregame test before taking the field • Switch instantly between baseball and softball • Customize six pitch choices for each pitcher • Save individual profiles for as many as 10 pitchers • Quickly select the active pitcher during the game • Change pitch names to match your team’s terminology • Use baseball and softball default pitch selections • Communicate without expensive specialized hardware DESIGNED FOR ONE-WAY COMMUNICATION Call Home is designed for coach-to-player communication under rules that permit one-way electronic communication during baseball and softball games.

Call every pitch from the dugout and win every count. NextStrike turns your phone into an easy pitch-calling system. Tap the pitch, tap the location, and your catcher hears the call in their earpiece ("Slider, up and away") before the batter digs in. No hand signs, no wristband cards, nothing for the other dugout to read. Built for baseball and softball coaches from 9U to college. WHY COACHES SWITCH - Calls in under a second. Tap your phone instead of touching your face or arm, and the call is in your catcher's ear. - Private by design. With an earpiece connected, calls play only in your catcher's ear, so your dugout and the other bench can't hear them. - No hardware to buy. Works with Bluetooth earbuds your catcher already owns. - More than a walkie-talkie. Pitcher arsenals, pitch counts and outcome tagging are built in. EVERY PITCHER'S ARSENAL Set up each arm on your staff with the pitches they actually throw: four-seam and two-seam fastballs, slider, cutter, sinker, changeup, splitter, curveball, knuckleball or a custom pitch. Call locations by number (zones 1 to 9) or by name (up and away, down and in) when you want to paint corners. Pick-off and shake are one tap away. SEE WHAT WORKED, PITCH BY PITCH - A full pitch log for every pitcher, organized by game and inning - Tag each pitch as a strike, ball, foul, hit, out, error or hit by pitch - Innings advance after three outs, and pitch counts keep themselves - Game summaries with strike rates to review between starts TALK TO YOUR CATCHER Hold the mic to send your voice straight to your catcher's earpiece between pitches: "3-hole is on deck," "let's steal an out with a back pick," or anything you'd usually shout from the dugout. If a call gets missed, replay one of your last three calls with a single tap. ONE ROSTER, EVERY COACH IN SYNC Invite your assistants and pitching coach at no extra cost. The head coach subscribes, and the whole staff works from the same roster and pitch history. Run up to three teams, like JV and varsity or several travel age groups. WORKS AT ANY FIELD Pitch calling keeps working without a signal, and calls sync when you're back online. The voice that reads each call runs on your phone, not over the internet. PLANS - Free: try pitch calling in the demo, and join a Pro coach's team as an assistant at no cost. - Pro: $99.99 per year or $14.99 per month, with a free trial. Up to 3 teams, 30 players per team, 3 coaching licenses, full pitch history, offline calling and Hold to Talk. - Organization: custom plans for programs with many teams. Contact us through the support link. REQUIREMENTS An iPhone or iPad for the coach, and any Bluetooth earbuds for the catcher. Call it, coach it, win it.
