40 ft ÷ 0.467 s

Record. Release. Pop.

Three moments. One honest number.

No calibration ritual, no proprietary black box. Film the pitch, mark two moments, and the math is shown right on the video.

01 · RECORD

Film any pitch

Record a bullpen live, or import a clip you already shot. Slow-mo or standard 30fps — both work. Handheld is the whole point.

02 · MEASURE

We find release + pop

The app locates the ball leaving the hand and the glove pop in the audio. If the release is visible and the pop is audible, the pitch is measurable — from any angle.

03 · RESULT

Speed = distance ÷ time

The same equation every pitch, shown right on the video. Pick your distance by age: 35 ft (8U/10U), 40 ft (12U), 43 ft (14U+).

Accuracy

Ready for scrutiny.

We optimize for consistency first: the same distance-over-time math runs on every pitch, and the calculation is printed on every video so you can check it yourself. Here’s a sample session held up against a stadium radar gun.

FAQ

Straight answers.

The questions coaches actually ask before their first bullpen.

Do I need a tripod?

No. TrueVelo is built for a phone in your hand — that’s the whole design center. Steady it if you can, but no mount, stand, or rig is required.

Do I have to stand behind the catcher?

No. Any angle works as long as two things are true: you can see the ball leave the pitcher’s hand, and you can hear the glove pop. Side-on, behind the plate, dugout corner — all fine.

Does slow-mo footage work?

Yes. Any frame rate is supported, and the speed is calculated in real time regardless of how fast you filmed. Standard 30fps works perfectly — slow-mo just gives you more frames to fine-tune.

Where does my video go?

Nowhere. Clips and readings stay on your phone — nothing is uploaded to a server. When you share, you’re the one sending the video, with the mph burned in.

Is this just a baseball app relabeled?

No. TrueVelo is softball-only, built around the windmill delivery and the glove pop. The release detection and distance presets are tuned for fastpitch — not adapted from a baseball tool.
