Baseball Mechanics turns phone video of a swing, pitch, or throw into a graded biomechanical report with injury risk, ranked fixes, and a drill for each one.
50 words
Baseball Mechanics is an iOS app that analyzes youth baseball mechanics from ordinary phone video. It grades pitching, hitting, and catching across twelve guided positions, benchmarks each player against their own age group, flags injury risk, and returns a ranked list of what to fix — with a named drill attached to every item.

Baseball Mechanics is an iOS app that gives youth baseball players the kind of movement analysis that has historically required a private instructor or a university lab. Players, parents, and coaches record a swing, pitch, or throw on a phone; the app guides them through twelve specific positions in the motion, grades each against age-appropriate benchmarks, and returns a report with an overall Mechanics Score, an injury-risk assessment, a list of strengths, and a prioritized set of fixes — each paired with a named drill and a coaching cue. Sessions accumulate into a development record that follows the player across seasons. Video is never retained.

The founder
Jordan Stotts was a mediocre Little League player with a standout ballplayer for a father. Years later, his own boys inherited that love for the game and reached a point where they had surpassed what he could teach them. Unable to find a tool that showed a parent what to actually work on, he spent six months building one.
Jordan Stotts, founder
In his own words
I grew up playing baseball from Little League through Babe Ruth, always learning from my dad — a standout high school player who became my coach. He taught me the game. But when my own sons started playing, I realized something: they were reaching a level where my ability to explain the mechanics was no longer enough.
I could see when something looked wrong, but I couldn’t always explain why. I could tell them to “follow through” or “stay balanced,” but those words didn’t tell them what their body was actually doing or what they needed to change.
I searched for a tool that could give parents the kind of mechanical feedback normally reserved for elite players. Living in a rural area, private instruction often meant long drives and expensive lessons. Online videos gave general advice, but nothing showed a parent exactly what to work on with their own player.
Seeing young players in my community deal with arm issues made the need even clearer. I wanted a way to help families understand movement before problems developed.
My first attempt failed. I assumed AI could watch a full video and identify everything important. It couldn’t. Baseball mechanics happen in specific moments, so I rebuilt the system around twelve key positions in the motion.
I built it myself, over six months. Baseball Mechanics analyzes movement, identifies priorities, and connects each area for improvement to a specific drill.
It was built for the parent standing at the fence who wants to help their player, but needs a better way to understand what they are seeing.
Baseball Mechanics is his first app, built alone over six months alongside a full-time job as a computer and network technician for a school district.
