Today marks the public debut of Pitchworks—a pitch tracking app built from the ground up for high school baseball coaches, players, and families who want real answers instead of hunches.
The Problem with "Feels"
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. Not someday, but between innings. Not with a statistics degree, but with a glance.
Built for the Pace of the Game
Forget clipboards and messy spreadsheets. Pitchworks is designed for real-time data entry during games and practice sessions. Four taps to log a pitch. The interface stays out of your way so you can focus on what matters: the next pitch.
See the Full Picture
After every session, Pitchworks generates charts and statistics that show pitcher performance at a glance:
- Velocity tracking with trends over time
- Strike zone heat maps and accuracy percentages
- Pitch type breakdowns
- Per-zone opponent batting averages
- Strike and speed progression charts
Compare today's bullpen to last month's game. Identify patterns that paper logs could never reveal—like which counts lead to walks, or how velocity drops after 40 pitches.
Works Anywhere
High school baseball happens on patchy fields with inconsistent Wi-Fi and limited time between games. Pitchworks works offline, requires no account setup, and respects that you have a team to coach—not an app to babysit.
Share Your Results
Generate PDF reports to share with players, parents, or coaching staff with a single tap. Every session becomes documented evidence of work put in and progress made.
Who It's For
- Coaches who want data-driven insights without complexity
- Players who want to understand their strengths and areas for improvement
- Parents who want to support their pitcher's development with real numbers
Why 1.0 Matters
This release represents months of refinement based on real use in real dugouts. The interface has been tuned for speed. The reports have been redesigned for clarity. The data pipeline has been hardened to handle incomplete information gracefully.
Pitchworks is ready. Your pitcher's next level is waiting.
