Great Product, Especially for kids New to Baseball
04/08/2024

I coach a JV team at a smaller high school that is made up of several kids who are new to the sport entirely. This app allowed me to introduce them to the mental part of the game through technology. You can assign basic scenarios to newcomers, complex ones to more advanced players, and certain positions to players to focus on where they’ll be playing. The customization of this from a coach’s standpoint is great, as you can meet whatever your athlete’s area of improvement is with this app. Highly recommended for coaches of all ages!

Overall Good to learn

Overall a good app to learn rules / common sense in the sport. Some situations may be better with a person with knowledge nearby. For example. “Flyball hit to left field, runner on 2nd no outs, what do you do”I chose “field/catch the ball” then chose follow up with “throw to third” they said I was incorrect because I should “field and catch the ball and throw home”. The issue was in clarifying, I figure if the example shows the ball lands in front of me and my choice is “field / catch” I’m either catching it or it’s one hoping so I’m trying to gun out the runner. But they assume the runner is already otw home. Example 2: “no outs, nobody on, flyball hit to RF, what should right fielder do”I chose “field/ catch” and “throw to second” Thinking if I’m fielding it and not catching, I’d hold them to single.. the correct answer was “field / catch the ball” so they counted it as I was wrong because I added the “throw to second”. The image in both examples was a line drive landing in front of the OF’s. All in all a good app to learn. But if it’s a totally new person or they just grasp basics and want to learn more, this could make it a little confusing if nobody is around to let them know it’s more-so a programming error / confusion via the knowledge available about the play.

Overall great app - needs more features

Great app, but it needs more features. Wish there was a referral program (3 months free when your friend buys a premium subscription) or a “Lifetime” membership option for $100. When you give an incorrect response, it says “try again,” but it just gives you the answer - wish there was a option to try again (at least 2 or 3 attempts - with more points when answering correctly on the first try). Also wish there was an option to “check” a runner at 3rd before making a throw to 1st. For one question it says “a catcher fields a ball” (which gives away the obvious first step) - the question should be rephrased like “the batter bunts the ball directly in front of the catcher.” I haven’t tried the Premium ($20 per month)

Thanks for the nice review and lots of interesting ideas for us to consider! Keep enjoying Thinking Baseball!

I play 13u Travel Baseball, and I downloaded this app too keep my head in the game, even when I’m not on the field. The questions adjust accordingly to how many questions you get right or wrong. I would highly recommend this app for new players, or even experienced players. This app is great, and I would highly recommend it!
