The Catching Lab

AI-driven catcher analysis on any iPhone. Pop time, exchange, framing, blocking, throw velocity, and footwork tracked rep by rep. Trends over weeks and months. The kind of feedback that used to need a lab.

Pop time

Catcher's release-to-throw timing measured to the hundredth. Auto-detected from a single iPhone capture or entered manually during sessions.

Exchange + transfer

The hand path from glove to throwing position. The piece that separates a 1.95 from a 2.10.

Framing scoring

Per-pitch strike-conversion percentage, scored during video review or live observation. See which edges of the zone you steal.

Block percentage

Blocks attempted vs. blocks executed, session by session. The unsexy stat that decides games.

Throw velocity + accuracy zone

Velocity off the bag and accuracy to second. Measured from iPhone capture, no radar required.

Trends over time

Every metric charted over weeks and months. See whether the work is actually moving the numbers.

How it works

1
Capture
Set up an iPhone, record a rep. The Catching Lab AI auto-detects the play and extracts pop time, exchange, footwork, throw velocity, and accuracy zone.
2
Review
Watch the rep with metric overlays drawn on the frame. Score framing pitch by pitch. Log block attempts and conversions.
3
Track
Every metric is logged against the athlete's profile. Trends roll up across sessions. Coaches see what's improving and what's stuck.
4
Improve
Programming adjusts based on what the data says. Drills target the metrics that are lagging. The next session starts smarter than the last.

Train every rep, see the trend.

Athletes who train with Catching Lab know exactly what their numbers are. So do their coaches. So do recruiters when the report card hits the inbox.
