PitchCom, the leader in on-field pre-recorded pitch and play calling technology, is thrilled to announce its partnership with Alliance Fastpitch, the premier national amateur softball organization providing purposeful competition for regional and national events,  This strategic alliance marks the first time PitchCom technology will be officially partnered with a women’s softball organization at this scale.

Already a staple in Major League Baseball and across NCAA baseball and softball, PitchCom’s cutting-edge technology provides for seamless communication between players and coaches, enhancing the strategic aspect of the game while maintaining the pace of play and the integrity of the game. By integrating PitchCom into their national championship series and national events, Alliance Fastpitch is set to revolutionize the way softball is played at the amateur level.

“Alliance Fastpitch’s mission has always been to unite the fastpitch community and enrich the athletic experience, both on and off the field,” said Jami Lobpries, CEO of Alliance Fastpitch. “With PitchCom, we are not just embracing advanced technology, but we are also promoting a more strategic and engaged form of play that benefits both athletes and coaches. We want our players to be ready for college softball the day they step foot on campus and being accustomed to in-game pitch and play calling is now a part of our game.”

PitchCom’s partnership with Alliance Fastpitch not only aligns with the Alliance’s vision to be the source of truth for athletes and coaches but also highlights how competitors can collaborate off the field to elevate the sport. This partnership promises to enhance the playing experience for thousands of athletes across the country, providing them with the tools to succeed and evolve in competitive softball.

“We are excited to bring PitchCom’s technology to a broader audience and contribute to the growth of women’s softball through our partnership with Alliance Fastpitch,” said John Hankins, inventor of PitchCom. “This is an important moment for us as we continue to expand the reach of our technology and support the development of the sport.”

The implementation of PitchCom in Alliance Fastpitch National Events is set to begin in June 2024 with both organizations eagerly anticipating the positive impact this will have on the sport’s competitive and community aspects. Both organizations believe this will enhance the game experience by increasing the speed of the game, which at the youth level is often played with time limits in tournaments.
