Pocket Radar Integration

Looking for an easy way to track pitch velocity? GameChanger scorekeepers can now receive radar readings from their Pocket Radar Smart Coach device — making it easier than ever to enter pitch velocity while you score.

Once the scorekeeper scores the play and confirms the radar reading, the pitch velocity will be displayed in the play-by-play and on the live video scoreboard.

You'll Need:

• An iOS device
• A Pocket Radar Smart Coach device
• A Pocket Radar Connect subscription
• Staff-level access to your team in GameChanger

1. First, create an account in the Pocket Radar Sports (NEW) iOS app 
• When signing up, you must use the same email that you use to keep score on GameChanger
2. From Pocket Radar Sports (NEW) iOS app , tap “More”
3. Choose “Pocket Radar Connect”
4. Tap “Connect” next to "GameChanger”
5. To verify your account is properly connected, open the GameChanger iOS app and tap “Profile”
6. Then, tap “Pocket Radar” and confirm you see the message: “Your Pocket Radar account is linked to your GameChanger account.”

During the Game
