The PitchGrader Legacy

Since 2015, PitchGrader pioneered 3D analysis software for ball tracking data, becoming the choice of 30% of MLB teams. Plus many MiLB organizations, and top D1 programs. Our revolutionary approach transformed raw data into visual insights that coaches and players could actually understand and apply.

The PitchGrader iPad app revolutionized player development by making complex data accessible through stunning 3D visualizations to analyze pitching rather than only pitch metrics. Now Pitchgrader uses AI to analyze batter contact and gives insights into what happened, in plain English. Over 4.2 million pitch shapes analyzed and counting.

What Coaches & Pros have said about the original Pitchgrader

Derek Johnson

I’ve had a chance to look under the hood of PitchGrader and I am fascinated with its capabilities. PitchGrader’s Pro level baseball 3D analysis & simulation has a video game feel to it that might completely change the way a pitcher and coach approach a bullpen, making it more efficient and wasting less time on trial and error tactics. The 3D analysis, charts, graphs, heat maps, and many other evaluation features provide a vast perspective, but it can be tailored for fast actionable meaning based on the user’s preferences. Its the ultimate portable quick scan tool for game review, opponent scouting, and game planning, while still allowing you take a deep dive into the data if you choose to. PitchGrader separates result from process and provides a deeper connection between data and application.

Dan Heefner

PitchGrader takes Trackman's numbers and turns them into a picture that players can understand. It is an unbelievable development tool that we use with both our pitchers and hitters. The possibilities are endless, we are still learning new ways that PitchGrader can make our players better.

Desi Druschel

PitchGrader is an absolute game changer for ball tracking devices. The interface and reports turn a spreadsheet into a quick and easy way to digest and draw meaning from the data. The visuals are outstanding- whether it be viewing spin axis, pitch shape, tunneling, or timing windows, the ability to see it dramatically increases the value of the data. PitchGrader produces reports that are revolutionizing the use of baseball data for analysis, scouting, and development.

The big value of PitchGrader is that it allows a coach to simplify how to evaluate and help a player find improvement. It’s ease of use and ability to hone in on individual player development is huge! And it’s truly a development tool that lets you dig in to the numbers as far as you need.

Drew Thomas

PitchGrader has developed a program for pitching development that is second to none. It brings pitches to life in a 3D visual way that allows our players to understand what their "stuff" looks like. It's the first program that has given them a "why" their pitch moves the way it does, and alows them to use that information to apply towards their development. Development is our number 1 priority, and PitchGrader has helped us tremendously.

Scott Brickman

PitchGrader has revolutionized the data-metric world of college and professional baseball. It has allowed us at Iowa to develop our pitching staff by utlizing 3D imaging, as well as other valuable charts, and graphs. We're also able to make game to game adustments to our advance scouting reports. PitchGrader is a must-have for any high level pitching coordinator.

Baseball Pitches

This book defines each distinct pitch type independent of the specific pitcher or the pitcher method, that can be detected when only using ball tracking data. It also avoids the current ambiguity in pitch names, subjective names of pitches, and intent or technique-based pitch names, as used today. The definitions of pitch types in this book can help greatly in analytics, amateur scouting, advance scouting, broadcasting, and player development.

Pitching Command

For a baseball pitcher it's no longer enough to just throw the ball with high velocity. Nearly everyone throws with high speed today. So how do you stand out from the crowd? Command.
Command is what separates pitchers from the pack today. Being an elite next level pitcher means having the full package—speed, movement, and command. This book focuses on the development of pitching command targeting how to measure and improve pitching command. It provides a detailed definition with measurements for the Universal strike zone, and command evaluation and assessment tests for Middle School, High School, College, Minor League, and Major League command level tests and over 50 pitch by pitch pre-scripted bullpen plans..
