HitterLens
The bat-tracking graphics you see on MLB broadcasts? HitterLens gives every travel-ball and high-school hitter the same kind of personal profile — log your at-bats over a season and the app builds your swing heatmap, pull/oppo tendencies, and clutch splits so you can walk into practice with real evidence instead of a vague feeling.
travel-ball and high-school hitters (and their parents) who want Statcast-style feedback without access to pro equipment
- Quick at-bat logger — pick outcome, exit direction, pitch type, count; takes 10 seconds per AB
- Personal Statcast-style heatmap: pull%, oppo%, GB/FB/LD rates that update as you log
- Per-pitcher and per-count splits so you see which platoon matchups actually work for you
- Season-end shareable 'batter card' coaches can drop into recruiting emails
MLB broadcasts now overlay bat-tracking visuals on every notable home run, and youth players see those graphics and want the same kind of feedback on their own swings — but until now that data layer has been gated to pro teams with Trackman.

Direct phone-only AI competitor HitProAI already targets the same youth/travel-ball segment; Blast Motion (250M+ swings), Rapsodo, HitTrax, and Diamond Kinetics crowd the broader category.Baseball Swing Analysis App — No Sensor, Just Your Phone | HitProAI ↗Blast Motion - Blast | Sports Technology | #1 in Baseball, Softball ↗
Travel-ball parents demonstrably pay — Blast/Rapsodo sensors run hundreds of dollars plus subscriptions — but the 'luis urías' Google Trends anchor suggests weak organic pull, and a free HitProAI competitor undercuts a self-log app.Blast Motion vs Diamond Kinetics: Honest Comparison ↗Best Baseball Swing Analyzers Reviewed: Blast Motion, Diamond Kinetics ↗
MLB bat-tracking broadcasts are a durable tailwind and Statcast-style metrics keep expanding into high school/college, but manual at-bat logging is a lower-stickiness format than automated sensor capture.Baseball Savant Visuals | baseballsavant.com ↗
No hardware, no ML — just manual entry, charting UI, and basic stats aggregation; an MVP is buildable by a small team in weeks, with app-store distribution trivial.HitTrax on the App Store ↗
