Ball Exit Velocity off the bat

Studies have shown that for every extra one mile-per-hour added to exit velocity, the ball will travel an estimated four to six feet further, depending on its trajectory and launch angle. That means it has a direct effect on whether a player has warning track power or home run power, if they can drive the ball into the gaps for extra-base hits, and if they can hit the ball hard enough to put more pressure on the defense and slow down their reaction time.

20 customers mention6 positive14 negative

Customers are mixed about the speed of the recreation ball. Some mention it's a great way to track increase in velocity, and a helpful tool for coaches to assess velocity quickly during tryouts. However, others say the speed readings were all over the place, and the unit constantly detects the wrong speed of baseballs. It may be good for young kids, but it'll not be good enough for faster pitchers.

"...Seems like the readings start going low when the battery weakens, but it's hard to prove that...." Read more

"I have noticed it’s pretty accurate overall. Seems to struggle with faster speeds but for feedback rapport of a 10yr old. It’s helping a lot...." Read more

"...It was really helpful for coaches to assess velocity quickly during tryouts, is helpful to understand when a pitcher is starting to lose velocity..." Read more

The Pocket Radar coach is an excellent product. Easy to use and very exact when used accordingly to the specification
The Pocket Radar coach is an excellent product. Easy to use and very exact when used accordingly to its specification.My son pitches for various 14U teams during the year and I use this radar device in many of his games to measure his cruising fastball velocity as well to calculate his change-up to fastball differential.For about $300 dollars, this small device does the same precise job as other expensive baseball radar devices in the market. If you don’t need to take velocity reading from far away distance in wide angles deviations from home plate, then this little device is for you.I have suggested to the company that builds this device to add Text to speech capability mode. This will allow me to get immediate feedback of his velocity when I catch him during our pitching practices.Once the pitchers are throwing around 70+ miles, it is very hard and dangerous to catch them while holding the radar in your throwing hand.Typically, during these type of practices, that is (just the two of us) , I used to place the radar in a tripod safely behind me and set it to “continuous” reading mode. It has a decent buffer size. After 20 pitches, I read the buffered velocities and reset it. Recently I have placed the Radar on top of the catchers helmet using some GoPro widgets... see attached figure...
