This is a fantastic article on “hitting approach.” seattletimes.com/sports/mariner… What if there was an app for low budget teams that helped you develop all of the above described by the Mariners? There is... DM me for more information.

So far, we have D1, D2, D3, and HS teams beta testing as well as a D2 softball program. Anyone else interested in building a data driven approach at the plate, please send us a DM. We’d be happy to show you how we can help.

The Hitting Approach App will be released SOON. Imagine having AFFORDABLE scouting reports on your opponent’s arms... pitch types, locations, sequencing. Here’s a sneak peak!

Parents, if you’re like us and you enjoy discussing your son or daughter’s AB’s with them, wouldn’t it be nice to have pitch locations, pitch types, and trends to show them?

Remember that time when you were really hot earlier in the spring? What were your AB’s like? What did you swing at? What did you lay off? What was your routine like? What was your plan? With Hitting Approach you can go back and actually look.

Here’s how I know there is value in our app for you as a coach and player: I’m a college coach at D2 who loves to develop hitters. We have a lot of training bells and whistles and for the most part, we are getting our guys moving fairly well at the plate.

As hitting coaches we generally know what pitches and zones the hitters in our lineup hit well and struggle with. But the presentation from coach to hitter is crucial. Showing trends with heat maps and scatter plots makes it SIMPLE for them to see, buy-in, and adjust.

We wanted to show our college hitters in-game data on what pitches and zones they hit well and didn’t hit well. We couldn’t afford the only tech available that could be used on game day. So we created Hitting Approach.

We’ve built an app that closes the gap: Hitting Approach gathers in-game data in relation to pitch type, location,result, and approx EV to help coaches and hitters ID the “good ball” for them, then help them build an approach accordingly.
