Enhancement request
Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2013 9:59 am
Guys,
First let me say this product is not even close to being approached by another. I have tried them all (and paid for them just to try them out) and iScore is far and away the most comprehensive yet easy to use. Congrats and keep up the good work.
That being said I have a very simple (I believe) request that is invaluable to some of your users. Actually a two part request, really.
1) As a pitching coach, to be able to see what pitch sequences I have thrown to a batter before is priceless. You already show his previous results (via spray charting), and are tracking pitch types but to be able to see when a batter comes to the plate his previous two at bats that he grounded out (rolled over) a change up his first at bat but ripped a fastball to the gap his second at bat is huge information. Just to see the sequence itself is invaluable regardless of outcome. I currently track it on paper while still using iScore with a simple capital letter system (H means he swung at a change up and h means he looked at a change up). To see FhfC or something similar to know I showed him fastball, change, fastball, curve, for each at bat tells me a lot about how I approached him previously and the outcome. There is space for it (at least on iPad and mini) so please please please consider it since you already have the information stored...it is a display addition only.
2). Related to the first, if I had the ability to enter notes "per player" as opposed to in general it would also work. At least I could enter "aggressive early in the count" for a batter and approach him correctly by getting him to chase off the plate by reviewing the player notes prior to each at bat.
I will continue to use your product, by far the best, whether or not you implement the above suggestions (among a thousand you have received I am sure) but please consider them. From a pitching coach who tracks every pitch and location these seemingly easy additions would add huge benefits to your program.
Thanks for your consideration,
Lee Hartigan
