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. 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. READINESS & RECOVERY A daily check-in plus your workload and sleep build a readiness score, so you know what your body is ready for today. FOR COACHES & TEAMS Run a roster, monitor each athlete's readiness and workload, and see a team health view — built for academies, travel orgs, and programs.

SportMirror

SportMirror turns your iPhone or iPad into a delayed mirror for sports training. Set a delay of up to ten seconds, take your swing, and look up — your last rep is already playing back. No tripod runs, no tapping record, no scrubbing a timeline. Then rewind any moment in slow motion — or let SportMirror spot your swing and clip it for you, automatically. HOW IT WORKS Point your device at your hitting station, mat, tee, or floor and choose a delay with one slider. SportMirror continuously buffers the camera and shows you the recent past — so every rep is followed by its own instant replay, hands-free. REWIND IN SLOW MOTION Freeze the delayed feed and scrub back through the last ~25 seconds. Replay any moment at half or quarter speed to study your form, captured at a smooth 60 fps. A marker drops you right on the action so you never hunt for it. AUTOMATIC SWING CLIPS Turn on AUTO and SportMirror watches for your swing, then saves a clip on its own — starting just before the action. No tapping record between reps. Tuned for baseball, softball, and golf swings. YOUR CLIPS LIBRARY Every clip in one place. Loop them back in slow motion, save the keepers to your Photos library, and clear the rest with a tap — one clip, everything older than a week, or all at once. MADE FOR TRAINING • Delay slider: live (0 s) up to 10 seconds • No dead time: a live view with a countdown ring while your delay buffers • Pinch to zoom — recordings match exactly what you framed • Mirror mode (automatic for the front camera) and one-tap camera flip • Tap to hide the controls for a clean, full-screen view • Record a full session anytime — clips save straight to Photos PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device — including swing detection. No account, no uploads, no analytics, no ads. Video is held briefly in memory to create the delay and is only saved when you choose to keep it. GREAT FOR Baseball and softball hitting • Golf • Tennis and pickleball serves • Volleyball • Weightlifting form checks • Dance and cheer • Gymnastics • Martial arts • Physical therapy • Coaching stations of every kind TRY IT FREE SportMirror is free to try for 3 days — every feature, no account, no sign-up. Keep it with a single $4.99 in-app purchase. Yours forever, no subscription. Requires iOS 17 or later. Camera access is required — that's the whole point.
