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.

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