Use pitchLogic anywhere you want to practice and improve—not just on a baseball field or in a practice facility. Step into the backyard or on any field and start throwing. pitchLogic will instantly display a complete set of metrics for each throw of at least 10 feet. Throw into a net or to a catcher. Throwing pitchLogic against a hard surface (eg. plyo wall) voids the manufacturer’s warranty.

How do I charge my pitchLogic baseball?

1) Match the wireless charging icon on the ball with the icon in the center of the charging pad.

2) The ball is charging when a steady blue light appears. If it blinks red/blue, remove the ball and reposition it on the charger so that the icons of the ball and charger are aligned.

Can I use more than one ball on my account?

You can use any pitchLogic baseball with your account. You can also connect multiple balls simultaneously to your account, but this requires multiple mobile devices. Only one ball can be connected at a time to a mobile device.

How many devices can I pair with my pitchLogic baseball?

You can access your membership with the pitchLogic app on up to five different devices. The pitchLogic ball can only be connected one mobile device at a time but can quickly and easily be disconnected and reconnected to a different device.

Is there a minimum or maximum range or speed to use the ball?

For best results, the ball should be thrown at least 10 feet and at least 30 mph.  For best results, the ball should be within 200’ of your mobile device. If the ball or your mobile device come in contact with the ground, it may significantly reduce the usable range or cause the ball to disconnect. If the ball disconnects, bring it near your mobile device and reconnect.

What if my ball disconnects mid pitch?

Your ball will store the most current pitch even if it disconnects from the app. Once the ball reconnects, the newest pitch will appear on the app screen.

Do I need to Update the firmware on the ball?

If you want to check for an update, open the MENU button and select Check For Update. The app also automatically checks the firmware version each time you connect the ball. If the firmware needs to be updated the app will prompt you to start the update. The app will only prompt you once to update the firmware.

Does pitchLogic save my history when I close the app?

What do I do if my ball won’t charge?

Make sure the charger is plugged in and the charger indicator is illuminated.  The indicator light should be red if it is receiving power and blue if the ball is charging. Make sure the wireless charging icon on the ball is aligned with the icon on the center of the charger.  If the light still won’t turn blue, slowly adjust the part of the ball that is touching the charger until the light turns steady blue. If the charger starts to alternate blue and red it is indicating  that the position of the ball needs to be adjusted on the charger.  Just  pick up the ball, wait for the charge indicator to turn red and replace the ball.  The USB cable must be plugged into a charging block with an Output rating of 1500mA or 1.5A. USB ports and inexpensive charging blocks may not work.

What do I do if the app isn’t recognizing my ball?

With the pitchLogic App open, make sure the ball is touching your device. If the Connection button doesn’t turn yellow after a few seconds, then place the ball on the charger for up to an hour and try again.  You may also try disabling the Bluetooth on your phone for a few seconds and then re-enabling it.  Lastly, try closing and restarting the pitchLogic App.

Android users:  A recent change to the Android OS requires that the pitchLogic app has permissions enabled for Locations and Storage in order to connect to the ball.  Look in settings/apps/pitchLogic/permissions and enable the Storage and Location permissions.

What do I do if the app won’t display results? 

Confirm that “OK” is displayed on the Connection button.  It is important to bring the ball to a complete stop just before you  start your throwing motion (see our Get Started video).  This signals to the ball that a pitch is  about to begin and it also sets the “zero point” for your front and back extension measurements.  Also, a pitch must travel at least ten feet at 30mph or faster to register as a valid pitch.  If you continue to have problems with a  pitch registering, please contact us.
