Key Takeaways
- Pitchers Tracker focuses on one job: quick, useful pitching data capture for games and bullpens.
- Local-first design keeps it practical for phone use from the stands.
- Share-ready recaps and trend views help players, parents, and coaches make better decisions.
Quick Take
A free, pitching-only tracker built for parents, players, and coaches who want fast game and bullpen logging with practical summaries and shareable recaps.
Most baseball apps try to do everything. Hitting, fielding, lineups, scorebooks, messaging, rosters, subscriptions, all of it.
This is not that.
I built Pitchers Tracker to do one job: help families and coaches track a single pitcher during games and bullpens, quickly, from a phone, with no extra clutter.
If you care about pitch-by-pitch trends, strike percentage, pitch mix, and session progress, this is for you.
If you want a full team management platform, this is not for you.
Why We Built This
Most of us are trying to log data from the stands with one thumb and one eye still on the game.
That means the app has to be fast, clear, and forgiving. Not pretty dashboards first. Not setup forms first. Just fast input and useful output.
That was the target from day one.
What Pitchers Tracker Actually Tracks
1) Live Game Logging
During a game, you can log each pitch by location and result, and keep inning/count context moving forward without extra taps.
You get:
- pitch count
- strike/ball tracking
- outs and base state
- pitch type mix
- velocity (optional)
- at-bat flow and outcomes
2) Bullpen Sessions
Bullpen mode is separate from game mode, because bullpens are different. You can set a target zone, log where the ball actually finished, and track command by pitch type over the session.
You get:
- total bullpen pitches
- average/max velo by type
- target-hit percentage
- location plots by pitch type

3) Season and Session Summaries
You can review game-by-game trends and season-level snapshots without digging through raw entries.
4) Share-Ready Recaps
The app can generate clean summary images that are easy to text to a parent, player, or coach after a game.
Built for Real-World Use
This app is local-first and mobile-first:
- works like a lightweight web app on your phone
- can keep working even when service is bad (after first load)
- keeps data on your device by default
You can also export/import your data as JSON from settings if you want backups or portability.
No giant setup. No overbuilt workflow. Just pitching data you can actually use.
Who This Is For
Pitchers Tracker is best for:
- parents who want better than "he threw okay"
- players who want objective progress between outings
- coaches who want quick, consistent bullpen and game notes
It’s especially useful when you want to answer questions like:
- Is strike percentage improving?
- Are we missing arm side with the same pitch type?
- Does velo hold through inning 3?
- Which bullpen focus actually moved game results?
What It’s Not Trying to Be
This is not a full team app. It’s not a recruiting platform. It’s not an everything-baseball operating system.
It’s intentionally narrow: pitching only.
And that focus is exactly why it’s useful.
What’s Next
This is the first of several focused BatDigest tools. I’m also building other standalone utilities (including a speed tool and tracking utilities) with the same idea: simple, practical, and actually usable on a phone during baseball life.

If you use it for a few games or bullpens, send feedback. The best improvements come from real parents, real players, and real coaches in real innings.
