BatApp: Baseball Exit Velocity

Estimate hit velocity and launch angle from manually timed ball flight and mapped landing position.

Our take

Useful for approximate training comparisons with careful inputs

Plate/landing pins and a hold timer make assumptions visible.

Keep in mind: Not a radar measurement; wind/spin, reaction time and map errors affect estimates. Accuracy/softball-error figures are publisher claims, not independent validation.

What you can do

  • Home-plate/map positioning
  • Manual flight timer and landing pin
  • Calculated velocity and launch-angle estimates

Good for

  • Coaches/players using safe supervised non-critical comparisons

Consider alternatives for

  • Certified scouting measurements or guaranteed stated error bounds

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.1.
  • Not a radar measurement; wind/spin, reaction time and map errors affect estimates. Accuracy/softball-error figures are publisher claims, not independent validation.

Privacy & permissions

Field locations can identify routines; inspect map/location services and avoid posting children's identifiable training data.
