Every pitch call happens in context. A changeup that works at 0-2 might get hammered at 2-0. The game report tells you what happened—but not when each pitch type and location actually worked. This Coach's Corner video introduces Pitch Call Analysis in Pitch MetRx: metrics sliced by count, pitch type, and zone location.
Key takeaways from this video
- Pitch Call Analysis breaks your live pitch log across every balls-strikes count from 0-0 through 3-2.
- Each pitch type and location variant—Fastball Outside, Changeup Middle, Riseball Inside—gets the same rich metrics as your main report: WHIFF%, BAA, SLG%, strike %, and more.
- Aggregate stats hide sequencing problems; count-level data shows whether you're winning first pitches, finishing ahead counts, or getting hurt when behind.
- Open Pitch Call Analysis from post-game, mid-game, lifetime, or custom date-range reports—and filter by batter handedness (LH/RH).
Why count-level metrics change sequencing
A pitcher might throw 65% strikes overall while consistently falling behind early—and the damage shows up in the counts where hitters have leverage. Pitch Call Analysis makes that visible: which pitches get strikes and weak contact at 0-0, which finish at-bats at 0-2, and which get back in the zone without getting crushed at 2-0 or 3-1.
Because Pitch MetRx tracks location as part of the pitch label, you see whether fastball outside at 0-0 is your lead pitch—or whether fastball middle at 0-0 is the call getting barreled. That is the difference between "the fastball wasn't working" and "we called fastball middle six times at 0-0 and got hard contact five times."
Use Pitch Call Analysis mid-game when something feels off: is the issue count-specific or pitch-specific? Export PDF or CSV for staff meetings, or run lifetime reports to track whether your 0-0 approach is improving across a season.
