Remember when you were a young baseball player and you wanted to know how hard someone was throwing? But no one you knew had a radar gun. So, you just estimated how fast that heater was coming in.
Well, now you can have one in your pocket.
I've used this radar with my 10U teams to check their exit velocity. I've also used it with my high school team for the same reason, and to check the speed of the pitchers. It's especially good to check your pitchers in their games as decreased fastball speed is a sign of fatigue, and fatigue leads to mechanical breakdown, which leads to arm injuries.
Here's more on the Pocket Radar.
There are two versions:
Smart Coach and Ball Coach
The Smart Coach links to an app which will show pitch speed (it has a few other cool options, also) on the phone or tablet.
The Ball Coach gives pitch speed on the device only.
Bring Your Training Home Smart Coach App System The Smart Coach App System, with its unique ability to automatically capture videos with embedded velocities, allows you to continue to work remotely with your coaches and participate in recruiting/scouting activities. Immediate video and velocity feedback, while training on your own at home, has been shown to result in an accelerated improvement of skills.
Remote Coaching and Training: Not only is training with video analysis a powerful development tool, it is also a method of being seen remotely. The Smart Coach Radar System allows you to record videos with speeds directly embedded inside. Share these videos with coaches and scouts and post them to social media for extra recruiting visibility. As a premier provider of training tools, Pocket Radar is working with many top training programs, including Driveline Baseball with their TRAQ system, to help athletes train and develop at home.
