A new season getting underway provides a timely opportunity to get charting with chartIT!
chartIT is a software package designed by former White Sox Melanie Gettins that allows users to chart softball games and bullpen practices along with generating compelling reporting.
Historically this process was done with pen & paper and took a ton of time which naturally created a barrier.  
chartIT app is fun and intuitive and the reporting is powerful!

chartIT app is available to download from both Apple and Android stores and will work on an iPad or tablet.  The app allows users to chart softball games recording each pitch type, location in zone, outcome of pitch, spray chart and runner movement.  The app will track the progress of the game including pitch counts and score.  
There is also a bullpen module available within chartIT app that provides 7 different pitching practice ideas that are completely customisable and useable for all levels of pitchers.  Up to three pitchers can be recorded at once - allowing optimal use of resources at a practice.  Convenient real time results tables assist pitchers to ensure they stay on target.  Utilising the bullpen module creates opportunity for inspiration for pitching work outs, accountability on the quality of the practice & tracking of progress and results.  Pitching practices no longer can be described simply as good or bad, instead, factual percentages of how many strikes vs ball or how many times the spot was hit vs missed can be supplied creating greater accountability.

The reporting portal is where the fun happens for slicing and dicing the games you have charted.  With easy to use filters ranging from pitcher, batter, pitch type, inning, count, outcome, hit type along with many more – a ton of scenarios can be drilled into and explored.
