Game Face Bullpen — Track. Analyze. Protect. Game Face Bullpen is the pitching tracker built for baseball and softball families and coaches. Log every pitch from the stands or the dugout, see what’s working, and keep young arms healthy. GAME MODE Track a live game pitch by pitch: balls, strikes, outs, runners and score. Record strikeouts (swinging or looking), walks, hit by pitch, intentional walks, hits with location, errors, stolen bases, pickoffs, wild pitches, passed balls and dropped third strikes. Bring in a reliever mid-inning and the app follows official scoring rules, charging inherited runners to the right pitcher and separating earned from unearned runs. GAME SUMMARY When the final out is recorded, get a full recap for every pitcher: strikeouts, strike %, pitches per batter, innings, runs and a hit heat map. Share a game-day recap image with family in one tap. LESSON MODE Log bullpen and lesson sessions with pitch type, location and velocity. Zone heat maps show where every pitch is landing. STATS & TRENDS Season strikeouts, game strike % and innings pitched, always in view. Dig into ERA, K rate, first-pitch strikes, WHIP, strike % trends, location by pitch type and the running game. Share a pitching report with one tap. SEASON GOALS Parents and coaches can set goals, like 40 strikeouts or a 65% strike rate, for a team’s season or any date range. Track progress and pace all season. Goals close automatically when the season ends. PROTECT THE ARM Daily pitch counts are checked against age-based guidelines, with required rest days, so you know when it’s time to stop. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE TEAM Coaches, parents and athletes each get the right view. Invite family and coaches to follow an athlete, manage team rosters, and keep everyone on the same page. Whether it’s a Saturday tournament or a Tuesday lesson, Game Face Bullpen turns every pitch into progress.
