See two pitches at once. PitchOverlay stacks one pitch on top of another so you can see exactly how they differ coming out of the hand — the thing hitters see, and the thing that makes a pitch play. HOW IT WORKS Record or import two clips and tap Process. PitchOverlay finds the ball in each pitch, syncs the two clips at release, and draws the flight path of both. HOW TO FILM Ball tracking is built for one setup: standing behind the pitcher with the plate in view, phone held upright, both pitches shot from the same spot. Clips filmed from the side, from behind the plate, or sideways will not track. NO TRIPOD NEEDED The clips are aligned by matching the background between them, so handheld footage still stacks up correctly. FIX ANYTHING IT MISSES Ball detection is automatic but not perfect. Open any overlay, mark the ball by hand, and share the corrected version. SHARE WITH ANYONE Save finished overlays to Photos or send them straight to teammates, coaches, recruiters, and social media. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Ball detection and video processing run entirely on device. Your clips are never uploaded, and nothing is collected.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MLBPA App at none against PitchOverlay's 2. MLBPA App also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). PitchOverlay's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
