Baseball Tracker for Coaches: a whole game charted from one video
The web side of the Baseball Tracker mobile app. A coach uploads one video of a whole baseball or softball game and gets back a pitch-by-pitch log, timed to the video.
- What it is
- A web application at baseballtracker.app. You upload the game from a laptop and review it in the browser, with the video beside the pitch log.
- Who it is for
- Baseball and softball coaching staffs: high school, travel and college. It is built for coaches. Players and scouts use the Baseball Tracker mobile app.
- What it costs
- A new coach account's first full game is free, with no card. After that the Coach plan is $39.99 a month or $129.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial. Full detail on the Coach plan pricing page.
- Made by
- Adelyons Software LLC, Council Bluffs, Iowa. Support by email at dev@adelyons.com.
What comes back
- Every pitch in game order, timed to the video. Click a pitch and the video jumps to it.
- Pitch type and an AI-estimated velocity for each pitch, with the count.
- Pitch counts and rollups for each pitcher, including average and max velocity.
- Filters by pitcher and by inning. The rollups follow the filter.
- Strike-zone and pitch-mix cards for the game.
The quickest way to judge it is to look at one. The sample game with a full pitch log is the same review screen a coach gets for an uploaded game. It runs on demonstration data: the teams, the players and every number on it are made up, and the page says so.
What you need
- One video of the whole game, filmed from behind the plate, on a phone or camera you already own.
- An MP4 or MOV file, up to 30 GB.
- A laptop to upload it from. The upload resumes on its own if the connection drops.
- A roster, if you have one. It is optional for the first game. With it, the analysis can put names on your players.
Most games are ready in 10 to 20 minutes. Very long recordings can take longer. The steps are laid out on how full-game analysis works, and the common questions are answered in the Baseball Tracker for Coaches FAQ.
What it is not
The velocities are AI estimates from video. They are not radar readings. Baseball Tracker for Coaches replaces the pitch chart kept by hand, not your velocity hardware.
Game video is kept for playback for 30 days after upload and then deleted. The pitch log, the stats and the rollups stay in the account.
What it costs
Every new coach account gets one full game analyzed free, with no card. The free game is added once the account's email address is verified.
From the second game on, uploading needs the Coach plan: $39.99 a month or $129.99 a year, each with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. The trial does ask for a card, and the first charge comes at the end of the 7 days unless you cancel. You can cancel anytime from Settings. One subscription covers the program, and you can give your staff view access to the team's games.
There is a page written for college programs, a free first game for college baseball and softball staffs, which covers the same ground from a staff's side.

Guides for coaches
The site has a short set of guides for baseball and softball coaches, written to be useful whether or not you ever upload a game.
- How to film a baseball game for analysis: where to put the camera, how to frame the pitcher and the plate, and the file the upload accepts.
- Pitch charting without a scorekeeper: what a pitch chart is, how it is kept by hand, and what comes back from one game video instead.
- Softball pitch charting from game video: what is the same for softball staffs, and what to know first.
- Pitch charting for college programs: the scrimmages, midweek games and opponent film that tracking hardware does not cover.
- Baseball Tracker and GameChanger: what each one does, with the sources listed.
How it relates to the mobile app
Baseball Tracker for iPhone and Android estimates pitch speed, bat speed and sprint times from phone video. The coach portal uses the same account and the same analysis, on a bigger screen.
- One account works on both. Games uploaded on either device show up on both.
- Web access is included with the mobile app's Pro Max plan.
- The mobile Pro plan covers clip analysis only. A Pro subscriber either takes the Coach plan on the web or moves to Pro Max in the app.
More on how it works
Two posts go further. Charting a whole game from one video walks through what you film, what comes back and the free first game. Why a radar-gun app grew a coach portal explains why a phone app that reads one clip at a time needed a web side for coaches.
