The 3 ball icon below the pitch speed wheel toggles the speckle chart on/off for the current pitchers. This lets you see pitch locations of previous pitches during the game and includes a breakdown in a grid as well. o If your field has a scoreboard with a speed gun, entering these values would just copy from that display. o If you have your own speed gun, enter the pitch reading. o If you are using an ios device, the timing mechanism can be used to approximate the pitch speeds. To use this, be sure your Mound Distance settings has been set on the Options menu (bottom right corner of scoring screen). o Place your finger in the pitch location area and hold it there. o When the pitcher releases the ball, lift your finger. When the catcher catches the ball (or would have caught the ball), tap back down. This will time the pitch and, based on mound distance, will give you an approximate MPH. The second number in parenthesis is the Major League equivalent speed. This number is based on the amount of time a batter had to react to the pitch. The speed displayed is what a major league pitcher would have to throw for a batter to have the same amount of time to react. Pitch Presets - Some devices will allow you to enter a preset pitch type and speed. Most pitchers throw the same pitches at approximately the same speed. To use a preset to enter future pitches: 1. Using a speed gun or time a pitch to determine Pitch Speed. 2. Hold your finger on the Hold to Set button when you feel you have a good reading, creating a preset for the speed/pitch type combo. 3.
