Diamond Sense trains the part of the game that drills can't teach: reading the situation and knowing the right play before it happens. Every rep drops you into a real game moment - runners on base, a certain number of outs, a ball hit somewhere on the field - and asks what you'd do next. Get it right or wrong, you get an instant explanation of the correct read, so every play builds real baseball or softball IQ. THREE WAYS TO TRAIN - Fielding — balls hit right to you - Positioning — balls hit elsewhere on the field, testing your awareness - Baserunning — situational reads from the bases BUILT FOR EVERY LEVEL Difficulty scales from Rookie to Minors to Majors, and covers every position and base — not just the easy spots. Whether you're 8U or varsity, Diamond Sense meets you where you are. TRACK REAL PROGRESS See your accuracy broken down by mode, difficulty, and position so you know exactly where to focus next. Earn badges, build streaks, and level up as your game IQ grows. FOR PLAYERS, COACHES, AND PARENTS Players get game-speed reps outside of practice. Coaches get a tool that reinforces what they teach on the field. Parents get a way to support their player's development beyond just showing up to games. Diamond Sense covers both baseball and softball, with scenario libraries built specifically for each sport. Now in TestFlight beta. Join us and help shape the app before launch.
