By
Jake Fishman
Tries hard. Doesn't quite make it out of the oven in one piece.
Summary
PitchLab is an AI-powered mobile app that provides professional-grade pitch analysis using just an iPhone camera, offering similar accuracy to expensive radar-based systems like Trackman and Rapsodo but at 1/100th the cost. Created by a former MLB pitcher who experienced the benefits of advanced pitch metrics firsthand, the app democratizes access to pitch velocity, movement, and spin data that was previously only available through $20,000+ hardware systems with annual fees.
