For more than a decade, GameChanger has reigned as the go-to scorekeeping app for amateur baseball and softball teams. It’s essentially replaced scribbled-on scorebooks, eased the process of scheduling games and practices, and simplified team messaging. And it offers other major-league features you might not know about.
If you’re a player, coach, family member, or friend, read on to find out how you can play ball with GameChanger:
Stream the game to parents (and grandparents)
One of the app’s spiffiest features is GameStream Radio, which simulates a broadcast of a game based on what’s happening on the scorecard. With digital announcers, bat-crack sound effects, and simulated crowd noise, GameStream brings the ballpark vibe to anyone. There’s also a live play-by-play feature with a real-time field view and box score.
Create your own sports section
If your local newspaper isn’t sending reporters to cover your games, no worries. With the help of artificial intelligence, GameChanger can write a recap.
Deliver advanced sabermetrics
Because you’re keeping score in real time, GameChanger can serve as your personal statistician. See live batting averages, ERAs, walks, strikeouts, and more. And the data can be shared instantly with your team or league.
Keep young pitchers fresh
GameChanger’s helpful Pitch Count Alert is a great way to make sure your pitchers—and their arms—stay healthy.
Fix your errors
Make a scorekeeping mistake in the midst of the action? Every play can be edited, and GameChanger will update the scorecard and stats on the fly.
Serve up spray charts
For insight into your team’s offense, GameChanger offers spray charts, which are visual representations of where players hit the ball. You’ll be able to see if your kid hits mostly to the left side, is more of a pull hitter, or just knocks it all over the place. It’s a cool insight that wasn’t available back in the day.
