The dashboard provides four large action buttons to jump right into the app:
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| View My Pitchers | Browse and manage your pitcher roster |
| Start New Game | Begin tracking pitches for a new game |
| Manage Games | View scheduled, active, paused, and completed games |
| View Reports | Generate pitching analytics and reports |
The My Pitchers page is where you manage your roster. Each pitcher card shows key stats at a glance: uniform number, throwing hand, team, BAA (Batting Average Against), and SLG% (Slugging Percentage).
Click on any pitcher card to view their individual dashboard, which includes:
Each pitcher has a set of pitch types used during game tracking. You can:
Built-in pitch types include: Fastball, Curveball, Change-up, Cutter, Knuckleball, Slider, Splitter, Slurve, and more — each available in Inside, Middle, and Outside variants.
The Games page is your hub for managing all games across your pitchers.
You have two options:
When starting a new game, enter:
Once a game is active, you enter the Live Tracking Interface where you log every pitch:
The system automatically tracks the ball-strike count, advances batters after outs, walks, or hits, and tallies statistics in real time.
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Pause | Save progress and resume later |
| End Game | Complete the game and finalize stats |
| Undo | Step back through pitches if you make a mistake |
| Edit Pitch | Modify a previously logged pitch |
| Delete Pitch | Remove an incorrect pitch entry |
| Runs Against | Update the runs-allowed count |
Navigate to Games, find the paused game, and click Resume. All previous pitch data is preserved.
After completing a game (or during a live game), PitchMetRx generates a detailed Game Report packed with statistics.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Pitches | Total number of pitches thrown |
| Total Strikes | Number of strikes |
| Strike % | Percentage of pitches that were strikes |
| Runs Allowed | Runs scored against the pitcher |
| Hits Allowed | Total hits allowed |
| BAA | Batting Average Against |
| SLG% | Slugging Percentage |
| Strikeouts (K) | Total strikeouts |
| K% | Strikeout percentage |
| BB | Base on balls (walks) |
| BB% | Walk percentage |
| HBP | Hit by pitch |
| Batters Faced | Total batters faced |
| LH/RH Batters Faced | Breakdown by batter handedness |
| 1st Pitch Strikes (FPS) | First-pitch strike count |
| FPS % | First-pitch strike percentage |
| 2/3 % | Two-thirds credit percentage |
The right column breaks down outcomes further:
A table showing Batting Average Against at every possible count (0-0 through 3-2), giving you insight into how the pitcher performs when ahead, behind, or even in the count.
A detailed table showing every pitch type thrown during the game with:
Click "All Batters - Click to Filter LH/RH" to toggle between All Batters, Left-Handed Batters only, or Right-Handed Batters only.
When pitch-count data is available, a navy Pitch Call Analysis button appears in the report toolbar alongside the Spray Chart button. Click it to open a count-by-count breakdown for that game (see Pitch Call Analysis).
The Spray Chart provides a visual representation of where balls were hit into the field. Each hit is plotted on a field diagram with color-coded markers.
You can filter the spray chart to view hits from:
Click "Back to pitch type" to filter the spray chart by individual pitch type, allowing you to see where each specific pitch tends to get hit.
Every completed game includes an AI-powered game summary that analyzes the pitcher's performance and highlights key takeaways.
The AI summary appears at the top of the Game Report in the Game Summary section. It provides:
Summaries are generated automatically and cached for fast access on repeat views. They update when pitch data changes.
The Pitching Reports page offers multiple report types beyond individual game reports.
On the Pitching Reports page, select one of five report cards:
| Report | Description |
|---|---|
| Lifetime Statistics | Aggregated stats across all games for a selected pitcher |
| Custom Report | Stats filtered by pitcher(s), pitch type, date range, opponent, and home/visitor |
| Mid-Game Report | Real-time stats during an active or paused game |
| Post-Game Report | Detailed report for a single completed game |
| Pitch Call Analysis Report | Count-by-count pitch calling analysis for a selected pitcher and game |
When generating a Custom Report, you can filter by:
These reports include all the same statistics as the Game Report — but aggregated across multiple games. They are ideal for tracking season-long trends and overall performance.
Every report includes the overall stat summary, pitch-type breakdown, BAA% by count, and (when location data exists) buttons for Spray Chart and Pitch Call Analysis. Reports can be filtered by batter handedness (All / LH / RH).
All reports can be exported for sharing and record-keeping:
Pitch Call Analysis (PCA) is Pitch MetRx's count-by-count breakdown of pitch selection and effectiveness. It shows which pitches a pitcher throws in each ball-strike count, how often, and how well they work — so coaches can refine pitch calling for being ahead, behind, or even in the count.
PCA requires an active subscription or free trial.
There are two ways to generate a Pitch Call Analysis report:
On the Pitching Reports page, tap the Pitch Call Analysis Report card (light card with a navy accent border, alongside the other report cards).
Use Back on the PCA page to return to Pitching Reports. This path is ideal when you know which pitcher and game you want — you do not need to open a full Post-Game or Mid-Game report first.
PCA is also available from any report that contains a pitch-count breakdown:
PCA organizes data by every possible ball-strike count. Use the count selector to view each one:
| Count | Label |
|---|---|
| 0-0 | First Pitch |
| 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 | Behind-in-balls counts |
| 0-1, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1 | Even / mixed counts |
| 0-2, 1-2, 2-2 | Two-strike counts |
| 3-2 | Full Count |
For each count, PCA lists every pitch type thrown with these columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Pitch Type | The pitch code (e.g., FBO, CBI) |
| Usage % | How often that pitch is thrown in this count |
| Total | Number thrown |
| Strikes / Strike % | Strikes thrown and the rate |
| Balls, HBP, Hits, 2B, 3B, HR, Outs/Errors | Outcome counts |
| Positive Effect / Neutral Effect / Net Impact | How the pitch shifts the plate appearance in the pitcher's favor (Net Impact = Positive − Neutral; positive is good) |
| POS % | Positive Outcome %: (Strikes + Outs) ÷ Total × 100 |
| Out % | Outs ÷ (Hits + Outs) × 100 for balls in play |
| BAA / SLG% | Batting Average Against and Slugging Percentage Against for that pitch in that count |
| WHIFF% / Freeze % | Swing-and-miss rate and share of strikes that were called (no swing) |
| GB% / LD% / FB% | Batted-ball distribution |
| Avg MPH | Average velocity (only if MPH was logged) |
PCA also includes a BAA/SLG by count summary table above the count-by-count breakdown.
At the top of the PCA page, an AI coaching summary analyzes your pitch-calling data. It is organized into sections:
Summaries are generated automatically, cached for fast access on repeat views, and refresh when the underlying pitch data changes.
Pitch Call Analysis can be exported to PDF or CSV (Excel) and shared, just like other reports, for sharing with pitchers, parents, and coaching staff.
PCA answers practical pitch-calling questions, for example:
The Wristband Cards Generator is a coaching tool for creating randomized play call cards — printed wristband cards worn by players during games. It supports two modes: Pitching (pitch type sequences for a pitcher) and Offense (offensive play call sequences for batters and baserunners).
Access the Wristband Cards Generator from the sidebar navigation.
Select the card type at the top of the page:
| Mode | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Pitching | Generate cards with pitch type codes for the pitcher. Each cell on the card shows a pitch type code (e.g., FBM, CBO). The catcher or coach calls a number combination and the pitcher reads the corresponding pitch. |
| Offense | Generate cards with offensive play call codes (e.g., HIT, STL, SQWZ). The coach signals a number combination and the batter/runner reads the corresponding play. |
Choose how many cells appear on the card. Each grid is arranged in two sections of three blocks each, with row numbers along the left and column numbers across the top of each block:
| Grid Size | Total Cells |
|---|---|
| 3 x 3 | 54 boxes |
| 4 x 4 | 96 boxes |
| 5 x 5 (default) | 150 boxes |
| 6 x 6 | 216 boxes |
Select the physical card dimensions for printing:
| Size | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| 2.25" × 4.25" (default) | Standard wristband card size |
| 2.5" × 4.25" | |
| 2.5" × 4.5" | |
| 3" × 5" | Index card size |
| 4" × 6" | Large card size |
| Custom | Enter your own height and width in inches |
Choose a color for the card headers, row/column labels, and center banner. Select from predefined team colors (Dark Red, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple, Pink, Black, White, Gray, Navy, Maroon) or enter a Custom Color using the color picker. The text color on headers automatically adjusts for contrast against the selected primary color.
The center banner on the card displays identifying information:
Each pitch type row shows four controls:
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Code | 3-character pitch code (auto-uppercased). Edit to customize. |
| Description | Full pitch name shown on the coach's reference sheet. |
| Color | Background color for this pitch type's cells on the card. Choose from the predefined list or select Custom. |
| Times Shown slider | Controls what percentage of card cells are filled with this pitch. Drag right to increase frequency. If left at default (no manual adjustment), all pitches are distributed evenly across the card. |
The following predefined offensive plays are available:
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| HIT | Hit Away |
| SACB | Sac Bunt |
| BNT4H | Bunt 4 Hit |
| SQWZ | Squeeze |
| BNR | Bunt & Run |
| FAKEB | Fake Bunt |
| FB-ST | Fake Bunt Steal |
| STL | Steal |
| DSTL | Delayed Steal |
| H&R | Hit & Run |
| SH&H | Show & Hit |
| TAKE | Take - No Swing |
Use the checkboxes to select the plays you want, then click Add Selected. Use Select All / Deselect All to quickly toggle all checkboxes, or click Add All to add every predefined play at once.
To add a play not in the predefined list:
Each play row has the same controls as pitch types: Code, Description, Color, and Times Shown slider. All fields are editable after adding.
After generating a card, two download buttons appear:
| Button | Output |
|---|---|
| Download Cards as PDF | Exports the play call cards as a PDF formatted for US Letter paper (landscape). Multiple cards are nested per sheet to minimize paper usage. Cards are sized to the card size you selected. |
| Download Coach Sheet as PDF | Exports the coach's reference sheet as a PDF, listing every code and its description so the coaching staff knows what each number combination signals. |
Configurations save your complete card setup — mode, grid size, card size, primary color, banner fields, all pitch types or plays with their colors and percentages, and the generated grid layout — so you can reload the exact same card for future games.

Your current card settings (mode, grid size, card size, color, banner fields, and play list) are automatically saved to your browser's local storage whenever you make a change. They are restored the next time you open the Wristband Cards Generator, so you do not need to reconfigure from scratch each session.
Coach's Whiteboard is an interactive field diagram for illustrating defensive positioning, baserunners, the batter, and ball-in-play. Use it in the dugout, on the bench, or in practice to walk players through shifts, cutoffs, relays, bunt defenses, and situational positioning.
Open Coach's Whiteboard from the sidebar navigation or from the Coach's Whiteboard card on the Dashboard. You must be signed in with an active subscription (or trial).
Toggle Baseball or Softball at the top of the page. Each sport uses its own field image and calibrated default defensive positions. Switching sports resets the board to the standard nine-position defensive layout (runners, batter, ball, and movement tracers are cleared).
Icons are placed from side panels on the left and right of the field.
Nine defensive positions open in a standard alignment when you load the whiteboard:
| Abbr | Position |
|---|---|
| P | Pitcher |
| C | Catcher |

| 3B | Third Base |
| SS | Shortstop |
| LF | Left Field |
| CF | Center Field |
| RF | Right Field |
Drag any position marker to show a shift, double-play depth, or custom alignment.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| R1, R2, R3 | Runner on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd — auto-placed on the corresponding base |
| B | Batter — auto-placed at home plate |
| ⚾ / 🥎 | Ball in play — select the ball tool, then tap the field where the ball is hit or thrown |
Enable the Movement tracers checkbox to draw dashed movement paths with directional arrows when you drag an icon. Tracers help illustrate a fielder's route to a ball, a runner's lead or steal path, or a relay throw.
| Icon type | Tracer color |
