WigWag turns your iPhone into a pitch-calling system. Tap a pitch in the dugout and your pitcher or catcher sees it on their Apple Watch with a haptic buzz, in about a second. No wristband cards, no shouting across the field, no signs to steal. CALL PITCHES • Build pitch sets for baseball or softball: fastball, curve, change, rise, drop and your own • Add a location on a 3x3 zone with one tap • Special calls for step off, time out and pickoff • Resend or wipe a call instantly if the catcher missed it • See delivery confirmation for every receiver ONE DIRECTION, BY DESIGN The watch only shows the call. Players cannot reply, acknowledge or shake off. A plain-language Rules & Compliance page explains exactly how the system works, so you can show any umpire who asks. League rules on electronic devices vary: check yours before using WigWag in a sanctioned game. CHART EVERY PITCH • Record what was thrown, where it ended and what happened • Ball, called strike, swing and miss, foul, in play, with where the ball went • Count, outs, runners and pitch count tracked as you go • Undo anything in one tap KNOW EVERY HITTER • Save opponents with their batting order and notes • Key in a whole lineup before first pitch • See each hitter's zone map and how their last at-bats went, right at the plate • Reports build game after game BUILT FOR THE DUGOUT • Practice mode for bullpens, game mode for the real thing • Invite players with a link; they receive calls on their own watch • One coach calls while another charts on a second phone • Optional heart-rate sharing, only when a player turns it on PLANS Free: 20 pitch calls a month to your own Apple Watch.

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.
