Pitch Call Analysis

Pitching Metrics by Count, Pitch Type & Location

Every pitch call happens in context. A changeup that works at 0-2 might get hammered at 2-0. Pitch Call Analysis in Pitch MetRx breaks down your live pitch log across every balls-strikes count, pitch type, and location—so coaches and pitch callers see when each call works, not just aggregate game stats. Link intent to outcome with count-level WHIFF%, BAA, SLG%, and more.

What Pitch Call Analysis shows you

Open Pitch Call Analysis from post-game reports, mid-game reports, lifetime statistics, or custom date-range reports. The view organizes your pitch log around three dimensions coaches actually use in the dugout:

By count

Every standard balls-strikes situation from 0-0 through 3-2. See first-pitch effectiveness, ahead counts, behind counts, and full-count outcomes separately.

By pitch type

Fastball, changeup, rise, drop, curve, and any custom types you define—each with usage %, strike %, WHIFF%, BAA, SLG%, and contact splits.

By location

Inside, middle, or outside for each pitch type (e.g., Fastball Inside vs. Fastball Outside). Same pitch, different zone, completely different results.

BAA & SLG by count

A summary table at the top gives a quick read on overall effectiveness in each count before you drill into individual pitch types.

LH / RH batter splits

Filter by ALL, left-handed, or right-handed batters. The full breakdown and AI summary refresh for the selected matchup.

AI Pitch Call Summary

An AI-generated summary highlights ahead-count and behind-count patterns and offers sequencing recommendations grounded in your actual pitch log.

Intent vs. outcome: why count-level data changes coaching

Traditional pitch charting tells you what was thrown. Pitch MetRx links every pitch call to its outcome—so you measure calling decisions, not bleacher guesses. Aggregate stats hide the sequencing story: a pitcher might throw 65% strikes overall while consistently falling behind early.

Pitch Call Analysis surfaces that story count by count:

First pitch (0-0)

See which pitch types and locations get strikes and weak contact on the first throw. Build your opening sequence around data, not habit.

Ahead counts (0-2, 1-2)

Identify putaway weapons with high WHIFF% at 0-2 and pitches hitters lay off when you have leverage.

Behind counts (2-0, 3-1)

See which pitches get back in the zone without getting crushed—actionable intelligence for the next mound visit.

Full count (3-2)

Know which pitch type and location has historically produced the best outcomes when the game is on the line.
