What is PitchWise?

PitchWise is pitching-staff software for baseball and softball coaches. It charts every bullpen and game pitch by pitch, keeps pitch counts and rest days for every pitcher, and shows coaches who is ready to throw today. It runs as an iPhone app, a web app at app.pitchwiseapp.com for any device, and private program pages at club.pitchwiseapp.com for organizations with several teams.

Who makes it. PitchWise is built and run by John Gladden, a varsity baseball coach at Eastern Regional High School in New Jersey. It launched in 2026 and is based in Marlton, New Jersey.

What it does

  • Bullpen charting: tap where each pitch crossed the zone. Optional pitch type, target, radar reading or velocity estimate. A summary after each session shows strike percentage, where misses went, how many pitches hit their target and the average miss in inches.
  • Game mode: live pitch counting with the state or league limit built in and a warning before a pitcher reaches it.
  • Readiness: each athlete checks in on their arm daily. Combined with rest days under the Pitch Smart guidelines, that produces a "who's ready today" list for the coach.
  • Analytics: strike percentage trends, command by pitcher, pitch mix and misses, for the last 30 days or the season.
  • Practice plans assigned to the team, with completion tracking.
  • Program pages: a director sees every team in the organization and can download every pitch as spreadsheet files.

Who it's for. High school programs, travel and club organizations, and college staffs. The first organization to use it across a whole program was a 7-team Canadian travel organization that charted about 13,000 pitches in a season.
