Softball/Baseball Pitch Chart
A Softball/Baseball Pitch Chart That Charts Itself
One real pitcher's outing, charted pitch by pitch.
A paper pitch chart needs a second person, a clipboard and an evening with a calculator. Here's what a pitch chart looks like when it's built from the calls the coach was already sending, with no one charting in the stands.
What a Good Pitch Chart Tracks
Pitch type
Fastball, change-up, curve and every other pitch your staff calls, in softball or baseball, plus custom pitches.
Called vs. actual spot
Where the coach wanted it, and where it really crossed. That's command, not just strikes.
Result
Ball, called or swinging strike, foul, in play or hit by pitch, plus what kind of contact.
Batter
Every pitch tied to the hitter who saw it, so the chart becomes a scouting report.
One Pitcher's Outing
This is a real shared report for one pitcher. Player names are changed. Her coach called each pitch in the Pitch Signal app and logged the result two taps later.
A paper chart would have the same pitches on it. What it wouldn't have is the math done before she left the field: 82% of her pitches hit the spot the coach called, and her strike rate climbed from 65% to 79% as the game went on.
AI Insights: Your Pitch Chart, Explained
Numbers tell you what happened. Signal Insights, Pitch Signal's AI-powered coaching summary, tells you what it means. It reads every tracked pitch and writes it up in plain English, so the staff doesn't have to study a chart to find the story.
“Change-up (50% strikes) lagged behind her other offerings. Consider using it earlier in counts or after fastball sequences to set up better.”Signal Insights, written from this outing's tracked pitches
Pitcher breakdowns
Filter to one pitcher for a full write-up: which pitches worked, how command held up as the game went on, the contact they gave up, and what to work on next.
Outing summaries
A team overview plus a note for each pitcher, flagging signs of fatigue, pitches they aren't using enough and where command slipped.
Opponent game plans
3 to 5 clear action points against a team you've faced: how to pitch them, where to play your defense and which hitters to attack. They sharpen as you collect more data.
That's next week's lesson plan, and it came from real game pitches, not a bullpen session.
The Full Game, Charted
The same game, both pitchers, 94 pitches. These are the charts a staff would otherwise build by hand.
How It Gets Charted
Call the pitch
The coach sends the pitch and location in the Pitch Signal app. Players see it on the wrist.
Tap the result
Two taps after the pitch: the result, and where it crossed or where the ball went.
Read the chart
Pitcher stats, location charts and scouting reports update as you go, even with no cell service.
Share it
Send one pitcher's outing to their pitching coach as a link that opens in any browser.

Pitch Chart Questions
Do I need someone to keep the pitch chart?
No. The coach calling pitches records each result in the same app, two taps after the call. No one needs to chart in the stands.
Can I see a pitcher's chart during the game?
Yes. Pitcher stats, batter stats and the live scouting report are on the calling screen, and they work without cell service.
Does it work for both softball and baseball?
Yes. Pitch Signal charts softball and baseball the same way, with your own pitch list and locations. The example on this page is from a softball game.
Can I share a pitcher's chart with their pitching coach?
Yes. Share only that pitcher's pitches as a link. The pitching coach doesn't need the app or an account.
Stop Charting by Hand
Call the pitch and chart it in the same app, with reports ready before you leave the field.
