PITCHER SCREEN

   Used to create custom pitchers and modify 

factory pitchers. A pitcher is defined as a name or description, throwing 
arm, and a list of up to 12 pitches. Pitcher names must be unique.

To add a pitch to a pitcher’s list, the pitch must already exist in the 
database. Pitches can not be modified from this screen. Use the Pitch 
screen to create or modify individual pitches.

You can create realistic pitchers or specialty ones for drills. For example, 
you can create a pitcher that only throws different speed fastballs to work
on hitter timing. You could also create pitchers who throw both balls and 
strikes to work on pitch selection.

Load Pitcher:

  Loads a new pitcher into memory to modify their pitch 

selection. The pitcher’s list of pitches appears on the screen.

Top / Up / Down / Bottom:

  Once a pitcher is loaded, the order of their 

pitches can be changed by selecting a pitch on the list and using the Top 
or Bottom buttons to move the pitch to the top or bottom of the list, or the 
Up or Down buttons to move the pitch up or down one position. Pitch 
buttons will be shown in this order on the BP screen.

Add Pitch:

 

 Add a new pitch to the end of the list. Select from any of the 

pitches in the database. Use the filter bar at the top of the list to ease the 
search.

Remove Pitch:

  Remove the currently selected pitch from the list. This 

does not delete the pitch from the database.

New Pitcher:

 

 Clears all fields to create a new pitcher. The pitcher is not 

added to the database until saved.

Save Pitcher:

  

Saves the current pitcher to the database. The pitcher is 

now available for use on the BP screen.

Delete Pitcher:

  Removes the current pitcher from the database.

To create a new pitcher, select New Pitcher, type in a unique name or 
description, add pitches to the list, then save.

PITCH SCREEN

    Used to create custom pitches or to modify factory

supplied pitches. When a pitch is modified on this screen, it is modified 
everywhere it is used.
