Pitch Calling Watch
Every Call, Right on the Wrist
No wristband cards. No signs to steal. No relaying through the catcher.
The Pitch Signal Watch puts the coach's call on the player's wrist the moment it's sent. The coach taps a pitch and location in the Pitch Signal app, and the watch shows it instantly.

Why Teams Are Moving Past Wristband Cards
A wristband card system works, but it is slow and it leaks. The coach flashes a number, the catcher reads the card, the pitcher reads the catcher, and the other dugout watches all of it. A pitch calling watch skips every step in between.
Nothing to steal
The call goes straight to the watch. There are no hand signs or numbers for the other dugout to decode.
No delays
Calls arrive the second they're sent, so there's no looking up numbers on a card between pitches.
No doubt the call got through
The player sees exactly what the coach sent: the pitch and where it should go.
More than pitches
Send defensive calls like pickoffs and pitchouts, and offensive calls like bunt, steal and hit-and-run.
How the Pitch Signal Watch Works
The Pitch Signal Base sits in the dugout and connects to the coach's phone or tablet. When the coach sends a call in the Pitch Signal app, the Base relays it to every watch over truly one-way RF communication. The watches only receive; players can't send anything back.
That one-way design matters because most governing bodies that allow electronic pitch calling require coach-to-player communication only. See the one-way communication rulebook for where it's allowed.
The Call Is Only the Beginning
Most pitch calling systems stop once the sign reaches the player. With Pitch Signal, the same app that sends the call also records what happened: two taps after the pitch, it's logged with the called spot, the actual spot and the result.
Over a game, that becomes strike rates by pitch type and location charts. Over a season it becomes batter-by-batter scouting reports. See what Pitch Signal tracks.
Start With Two Watches, Add More Any Time
Most teams start with the pitcher and catcher, then add watches for infielders or the whole defense. Extra watches are $159 each and pair with the same Base.

Questions About Pitch Calling Watches
Who wears the watch?
Usually the catcher and pitcher. Many teams also put watches on infielders so the whole defense gets pickoff, pitchout and defensive calls at the same time.
Does the player need a phone?
No. Players only wear the Pitch Signal Watch. The coach sends calls from the Pitch Signal app, and the Pitch Signal Base relays them to the watches.
Can the player send anything back?
No. The Pitch Signal Watch is a receive-only, one-way device, which is what most rules for electronic pitch calling require.
Is a pitch calling watch legal in my league?
It depends on your governing body. USA Softball, USSSA, NSA and NFHS all have rules allowing one-way devices with conditions. Check the rulebook page and confirm with your league before game day.
What other devices work with Pitch Signal?
Players can also get calls through Bluetooth earbuds. See supported devices for every option.
