Pitches for iPhone

App overview

Pitches is an iPhone lifestyle app from MacWoodworking LLC built to help coaches, players, and parents track pitching performance. The interface echoes the look of traditional baseball scoreboards to make data entry and review feel natural and straightforward.

Who benefits from it

Coaches managing rosters, players monitoring their own progress, and parents keeping tabs on youth pitchers will find the app useful. It supports tracking across multiple games and pitchers, making it suitable for individual users, team staff, and recreational leagues.

Key capabilities

• ERA tracking for season- or game-level earned run average calculations
• Support for multiple pitchers and multiple contests, so teams can use a single account across games
• Emailing full game summaries to share stats with coaches, parents, or scouts
• Pitch count limit alerts to help teams follow league safety rules
• Detailed stat entry including balls, strikes, hits, and other play outcomes
• Simple pitch counting mode for quick in-game use
• A dedicated support page with guidance and release notes for new features

Notable highlights

Pitches goes beyond a basic counter by compiling granular statistics and offering exportable reports. The ability to set limits and receive notifications helps teams stay within mandated pitch-count rules, while exported game logs make post-game review and coaching easier.

Data export and analysis

Game and season summaries can be emailed directly from the app, enabling easy sharing and deeper analysis outside the device. This is particularly useful for coaches who want to aggregate data across players or for parents who wish to archive a player’s progress.

Look and feel

The app’s visual design takes cues from classic scoreboard layouts so users familiar with baseball scoring will feel at home. Controls are geared toward minimizing in-game distraction while still capturing meaningful metrics.

Support and updates

The most recent update added ERA tracking; visit the app’s support site for step‑by‑step instructions and tips on getting the most from that feature. The support page also lists changelogs and troubleshooting help.
