TESTIMONIALS
“For years, coaches and parents have strived to keep track of
pitch counts and percentage of strikes on pitchers. The problem is
that there is no easy mechanism or device to do that. It is simply
too hard in a game situation. The Pitch Count allows you to not only
track the number of pitches thrown, it also gives you the ability
to get a concrete number on percentage of strikes thrown at any time.
The Pitch Count is a must for any coach or parent!!!”

years of baseball academy experience)

“All programs and coaches need to count pitches. The advantage of
Pitch Count is that in addition to displaying the total number of
pitches thrown, it also displays the percentage of strikes thrown at
any given time. It is multi-functional and economical. Can’t miss.”

“Pitch Count solves some fundamental needs that coaches have been
trying to solve for a long time. Pitch Count will enable coaches
not only to count pitches but also keep track of other critical
statistics all at once without relying on multiple charts and
players. I think two of the most practical needs it meets are:
1) being able to keep track of key pitching components/statistics
during practice sessions and games
without relying on players or managers; and
2) the ability to use this simple technology at all levels (Little
League, Babe Ruth, High School, college and professional).”

“Pitch Count is a great tool for any baseball coach at
any level. It is an unbelievable device for practice
as well as games. Any coach that uses a pitch counter must have one
of these.”
Ken Munoz

“I firmly believe that Pitch Count will significantly improve the
capability of a manager or pitching coach to accurately track the
performance of a pitcher and make more informed decisions. The
real-time calculation and presentation of “% of strikes thrown” relative
to the total number of pitches thrown provides immediate trend information
that previously had to be manually recorded and assessed.
As a manager or coach, I would actually use two Pitch Count devices
during a game. I would use one for game totals and have an assistant
use one for “inning totals” and clear the device following each
inning. By comparing “% of strikes thrown” for the game with the
percent thrown in the last inning, the user will have an immediate
indication of a pitcher’s improvement or degradation in performance.
While Pitch Count provides real-time value-added information to the
manager or coach, it is easy to operate without diverting attention
from the game. Pressing the “balls” and “strikes” buttons can be
accomplished as easily as rolling the numbers on an umpire’s
ball-strike counter. Palm recorders have the disadvantage of
requiring direct visual contact and often both hands in order to
operate the electronic device. Pitch Count can be operated with the
user’s eyes “still on the game!”

“Based on my 20 years of experience as a Little League and High
School coach, I really think leagues across the country will become
saturated with a tool like Pitch Count.”
