NEW Hitting app for your iPhone and iPod touch!

That looks pretty cool. Between Gamechanger and this App I am getting really close to breaking down and buying an Iphone.

You wont regret it... lol. I put it off for many years. Finally broke done and took the plunge. It is like a little pocket computer that makes phone calls. I hear the 5th generation Iphone is going to fold laundry.

Love the idea.

I hope there's a way to get an MLB player on there instead of the coach. The coach's positions aren't ideal. Especially the contact one.

The player on the app is a current minor league outfielder in the Nationals system and played AA last season.

Perhaps, but he certainly doesn't do 3/4 of this in an actual game. No MLB player does 3/4 of these things.

Low finish - strongly agree with you on this one. For example, look at his hips in the progression from Bat Lag to Contact to Extension; no meaningful rotation, his lower body is completely out of action. And the left arm pointing down at contact is certainly not something I would want anyone to emulate. Good idea for the app, but definitely needs a different model.

Why didn't they just have him rip some actual swings at moving pitches and then use those pictures? You're right Low, he looks sort of ridiculous.

This is a useful tool, but it's not done correctly. I'd love to have this if it was like Right View Pro.

But, right now I can use it to know the positions I don't want to be in!

Here's what it should compare to:
