What Pitch Tracking Should Look Like

Track

What matters most for a pitching tracking app is a balance between ease of use and a robust array of input options. If the app is easy to use but lacks the advanced input options, your data doesn’t tell enough of a story about the game. If the app has a bunch of options, but it isn’t easy to use, the input process takes too much time, you miss a lot of pitches, and your data suffers. 

The 6-4-3 Charts Pitch Tracking app gives you the best of both worlds. 

Once starting a session/game, you are presented with everything you need in a dual view. No moving between tabs. No excess buttons or clicks. The 6-4-3 Charts Pitch Tracking app makes pitch tracking easy. 

As we learned above, ease of use isn’t enough. The 6-4-3 Charts Pitch Tracking app has all the input options you need to get way more out of your pitch tracking data than you ever thought possible.

Put everything together, and the 6-4-3 Charts Pitch Tracking app gives your program the easiest and most complete pitch tracking app in the industry.

Summarize & Visualize

After you input the pitch tracking for an entire game, you can head over to the Game Summary module. Here you can start to see the amount of data and statistics you are presented with in our Pitch Tracking app. On a basic level, you get the pitchers’ stats, batters faced, pitch location summary, and spray summary. In the Pitch Summary table, you can see some more advanced stats by pitch type, including usage, strike, swing, and swing/miss percentage, as well as average velocity. All extremely important and useful information

When you start clicking around and moving your cursor over the data, though, you’ll start to see what sets 6-4-3 Charts Pitch Tracker apart!

First, you can toggle between the summary data of a singular pitcher from the game, all the pitchers used in the game, or a group of pitchers (maybe you want to see how all your RPs performed).

Next, you can start to move your mouse around the different pitches, pitch locations, and the BIP results to get an isolated view of those specific metrics. Now you’ll be able to see the location and result of specific pitches that were tracked throughout the game.

Finally, you can toggle over to the Pitch Highlighter, Pitch Sequencing, and Team Stats modules to get a more complete look at an individual player

Report

The Pitch Tracking App provides a wealth of data on player performance, and integrating this data into 6-4-3 Charts’ Custom Reporting tool elevates its utility to a new level. The pitch tracking data can be seamlessly incorporated into your customized templates in the Custom Reporting tool, allowing coaches and staff to evaluate player performance and analyze situational outcomes.

In the Custom Reporting tool, users can drag and drop elements like spray charts and tables to create personalized reports. In addition, users can filter the report data by specific metrics like handedness or pitch type to generate even more tailored reports.

This functionality extends beyond in-game tracking applications, offering powerful insights during intrasquad games and fall/preseason practices.

Finally, mixing pitch tracking data with additional sources, like 6-4-3’s play-by-play data, creates a versatile tool for player development and game-day strategy. This integration between two internal 6-4-3 Charts tools simplifies complex data into actionable insights, saving time and enhancing your program’s decision-making capabilities​​.
