Pitchworks
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most pitchers have no idea what they actually throw. They know their fastball "feels" fast and their curveball "usually" works. But feelings don't reveal why the third inning always falls apart, or whether that new changeup grip is actually improving command. Data does. Pitchworks captures what happens on every pitch (velocity, location, outcome) and transforms it into insights you can act on. Get answers between innings, no statistics degree required. WHAT YOU GET During the game: A scoring interface designed for the chaos of live baseball. Four taps to log a pitch. No internet required. Works in the dugout, behind the backstop, or in the bullpen. After the session: Generate charts showing velocity trends, zone accuracy, pitch mix, and outcome breakdowns. See at a glance whether your pitcher is locating or just surviving. Over time: Compare today's outing to last month's. Track progress across a season. Identify the patterns that paper logs could never reveal, like which counts lead to walks, or how velocity drops after 40 pitches. For the conversation: Send PDF reports to players, parents, or other coaches with a single tap. Every session becomes documented evidence of work put in and progress made. BUILT FOR REALITY High school baseball happens on patchy fields with inconsistent Wi-Fi and limited time between games. Pitchworks works offline, requires no account setup, and stays out of your way so you can focus on your team.
