What it is

Social sharing enables you to quickly and easily post videos and screenshots from the pitchLogic app to any of your social media accounts, send them via text or email, or save them to your device. Videos shared with this feature will include an overlay with some basic pitch data displayed.

Why it matters

Social media has become a popular platform for players to showcase their skills and get the attention of recruiters. Measurable pitching data has become an important segment of the overall player profile. Recruiters are looking for objective information such as Speed and Spin Rate, and ideally want to see video with your data for credibility. Recently this has become even more critical, as the ability to assess players in person has been restricted.

Without the ability to meet in person, many coaches and instructors have turned to remote training. Even with regular face-to-face sessions, it can be helpful to get feedback on a pitch while a player is working independently. You can even share data with a coach who doesn’t have pitchLogic themselves.

How to use it

To share a pitch, tap the share button at the bottom of the screen in portrait orientation, or at the right side of the screen in landscape. If the pitch has a video (available with pitchLogic plus or pitchLogic pro), it will give the option to share the video or a screenshot of the pitch data. Otherwise, it will automatically share the screenshot. Next the iOS or Android sharing panel will present sharing options based on the apps installed on your device. You can also select options to save to your device, send as a text message, or send in an email. When sharing a video, a graphic overlay with some of the pitchLogic data will automatically be generated and added to the video.
