About

Prospekt

Read full description

Prospekt turns every game into real data — pitch by pitch, at-bat by at-bat, for baseball and softball players from Recreation League and travel ball through high school and beyond. This isn't a team scorekeeping app that stops at a box score, it's built around your individual athlete, and the data follows them, not the season. Track across every team and league they play for, and it all stays in one place for their entire playing career. Track every pitch live: all pitch types, location, velocity, and result, tagged automatically to the at-bat it belongs to. Turn on video and every 8 second clip syncs to the exact pitch, so you can jump straight to any moment instead of scrubbing through a whole game. WHAT'S INSIDE • Live Pitch Tracking — ball/strike, location, pitch type, and outcome, built for a parent or coach to easily run during a game • Synced Video — record each at-bat and tap any pitch to jump straight to it • AI Development Reports — Create a written scouting-style report based on your choice of game, season, opponent, etc. built from your player's own tracked data • Spray Charts — visually see exactly where the ball's been hit on a simulated field • Arm Care — right on your Home screen, age-based pitch count guidance and rest-day tracking, so you always know if your athlete is available to pitch (baseball only) • Auto-Highlights — a branded, shareable clip built from the game's best moment • Multi-Player Mode — track more than one player (siblings or teammates) in the same game, batting order and all • Stats & Trends — not just stat sheets, batting and pitching lines, season history, and trend cards that show if your player's heating up or cooling off Prospekt is built for the parent in the stands and the coach in the dugout, not a broadcast crew. Everything you track stays private to your family and whoever you choose to share it with. Anyone you approve to follow your athlete. Grandparents, another parent, personal hitting and pitching coaches, and even recruiters, keeps access to that data until you revoke it. Free to start, with AI reports and video available through Player Pro. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
