4APP Sports is the world’s first independent MLB front office
It’s our mission to empower elite athletes to take ownership of their data, development, and careers by revolutionizing the analytical and player development tools, services, and information available to them.
We’re The “Player’s” Front Office.
We offer two core services:
4APP is tailored towards elite baseball players of all levels– containing player development tools you can’t find anywhere else.
4APP Pro is our offering designed specifically for professional players. It has the most advanced analytical, biometric, and subjective tools on the market.
The App, or “4APP Sports” on the iOS App Store, is our app! It’s where all players can find 4APP, and our professional clients can find 4APP Pro.
No. Right now, “4APP Sports” is an Apple-centric app. Developing an Android version of The App is not on the short-term roadmap.
Anyone! We’ve developed The App such that athletes of all ages have the ability to use it to take control of their careers, accelerate their development, and improve their durability.
If these sound like things you want, The App is probably for you!
The amount of features a given user has access to is dependent on whether they are using 4APP, a 4APP Premium Subscription, or 4APP Pro.
4APP is our offering designed for elite baseball players of all levels.
A 4APP Premium Subscription is our subscription service within 4APP that gives you access to exclusive features, analytics, and data!
4APP Pro is our offering designed specifically for professional players. It has the most advanced analytical, biometric, and subjective tools on the market.
We don't offer team memberships or coach accounts. It's our mission to empower individual athletes to take ownership of their data and development.
Though there are great coaches out there, we keep all accounts "individual" so that everything is owned by the athlete. We're currently working to make this model more symbiotic.
With all of that being said, we do offer team and facility discounts. Please see our “Coaches, Teams & Facilities FAQ” section for more information.
Send an email to tech@4appsports.com, and we’ll set you up with a complimentary consultation call!
Yes! 4APP Pro has a full suite of tools for hitters. In fact, ~20% of our professional clients are position players.
4APP Pro consists of pregame scouting materials, biometric data tracking, post-game reports and much more! Each of these sections of 4APP Pro is full of its own suite of tools. Not to mention that every 4APP Pro client has 24/7 support from our athlete performance staff and team of analysts.
The following features are available in 4APP for all users:
- 4APP’s Throwing Readiness Score (& Other Readiness Scores)
- 4APP’s Command Tracker
- 4APP’s Personalized Command Score
- The 4APP Command Report
- 4APP’s Daily Health Tracker
- Health Tracking Charts
- Apple Watch Health Kit Integration
- General Pitching Diary
- Personal Notifications & Tips
There are 20+ additional features available to Premium Subscribers.
Premium Subscribers receive access to extra advanced features and cutting edge analytics. Here is a list of the features Premium Subscribers can take advantage of:
- Velocity tracking in the Command Tracker
You can track your pitching velocity with every pitch allowing for a new level of insights that you can use to get better.
- Extra charts in the 4APP Command Report
Including your average miss patterns by pitch type, miss size by velocity, Command by location in the zone, and pitch frequencies.
- 4APP Command Score by pitch type
- Season Trend Charts
Including your miss size and velocity over time.
- Extra Daily Health Tracker Metric Charts
See charts for your Apple Health Kit data such as Time Asleep, Deep Sleep, and Heart Rate.
- Daily Health Tracker Metric Charts over longer timeframes
See your trends over 30 day, 90 day, and 1 year windows. This is significant for monitoring how changes to one’s routines can impact health and performance.
In the future, Premium Subscribers will also have access to several career altering tools…
Yes! When you sign-up for a Premium Subscription you are automatically given a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime before then and you will not be charged.
Yes! 4APP allows you to integrate your Apple Health Kit data into the app for advanced analytics. We’re currently working to support the integration of Oura and Whoop data as well.
4APP’s Command Tracker was the first of its kind. An interface that allows you to track and quantify your pitching Command.
Tell us your intended pitch location and actual pitch location, and we’ll tell you your Command!
Your Command analysis and insights live in the 4APP Command Report.
Ultimately, to be a great pitcher you need great Stuff, Command, velocity, strategy, etc. Command is one piece of the puzzle.
But… If you cannot throw strikes, you’re not going to play. Read that twice.
At the high school and college levels, you are going to get innings if you can throw strikes. And you’re going to pitch in the big spots if you can throw multiple pitch types for strikes.
This is your competitive advantage.
Our Command Report is where your Command analysis lives. We automatically create Command Reports for you after any pitching session you tag.
Our Command Report is full of charts that quantify your Command (by pitch type, zone, etc.), velocity, pitch usage, stamina, and more!
You can use these insights to become a better pitcher immediately, or make changes to your attack plan on the mound and routines.
Velocity tracking is a feature only available to Premium Subscribers.
The 4APP Command Score is our proprietary Command quantifying metric based on our years of data with both professional and amateur pitchers.
When you first download 4APP, you’re given a default Command scoring system. However after you throw enough pitches, the score gets customized to your Command level!
If it appears a chart is missing from your Command Report, first confirm that you have access to the chart given your subscription level– free users do not have access to certain Premium Subscriber charts.
If you still believe you’re missing a chart, send help@4appsports.com an email with the following information:
- The email address associated with your account
- The name and date of your “session” that has a missing chart
- A screenshot of the Command Report with the missing chart
- Optional: the name of the chart you are missing
There are charts available to Premium Subscribers only. To gain access to those “blocked charts” you can upgrade to 4APP Premium.
We allow users to upload videos of their pitching sessions to the Command Tracker. This allows users to track their Command after a game, practice, or bullpen session.
There are two primary reasons you may experience difficulty uploading video to the Command Tracker:
- You have bad wifi or cellular service
In which case you should try again in an area with better reception.
- Your video size is too large
In which case you should convert the video to a lower quality and try again.
If you’ve tried both of these options and are still unable to upload your video, send help@4appsports.com an email with the following information
- The email address associated with your account
- Screenshot(s) of the issue
If one of the pitch types you throw isn’t listed as an option in the Pitch Arsenal selection page, choose the most similar pitch type. Feel free to email help@4appsports.com with the pitch type that you don’t see in the app.
The Daily Health Tracker is one of the most underrated and underutilized tools in sports.
It allows you to track key subjective health metrics daily, and it integrates with your Apple Health Kit to analyze your sleep and fitness data.
The Daily Health Tracker reveals insights you can’t get elsewhere. In other words, if you don’t track this data you’ll be missing out on a ton of information.
You can use the Daily Health Tracker to:
- Improve your sleep, nutrition, and hydration (and associated habits)
- Identify injury warning signs early (preventing injuries)
- Evaluate your readiness to train and perform
- Hold yourself accountable
- Evaluate if lifestyle changes are helping or hurting your wellbeing
Here are a few ways you can leverage this feature to #AchieveMore…
- Assess your daily metric scores
If your soreness is a 5 out of 5, that’s something to investigate!
- Look for trends in your data
Your trends will tell you if you’re on the right track in your preparation and training. Negative trends can be warning signs of possible injury.
- Consider the relationship between different metrics
Are you more sore when you don’t hydrate or eat well on the previous day? Hmmm…
Either work! The most important thing is to remain consistent with the time you fill it out. For example, many of our professional clients fill out their DHT 3 hours before their games.
See the “Data Integration FAQ” section.
No, there’s no way to manually enter that data. If you’d like to integrate your sleep and fitness data into The App, the only way to do so at this moment is by integrating your Apple Health Kit.
No. The ability to track those metrics is only available in 4APP Pro. With that being said, bringing these readiness tests to players of all levels is on our radar!
Our Pitching Notes feature is the most underrated feature in our app.
Do you remember the cues you used when your velocity was the highest?
Do you remember how you attacked the best hitter on your school’s rival team?
Do you remember how sore your arm felt after your 7 IP start?
If you don't, you're missing out on future success and limiting your ability to troubleshoot when setbacks come about.
The short answer is anything! You can write cues you like using, how your body feels, general reflections, etc.
It doesn’t even have to be about baseball… This is a valuable feature for all aspects of life!
Once you enter something in your Pitching Notes, you can refer back to it at any time.

At 4APP Sports, we believe in complete athlete data ownership. It’s one of the reasons we exist.
We use your data to create tools that will accelerate your athletic development and help you dominate on the field. Your data is never disclosed to anyone, ever.
The App uses your Apple Health Kit performance, sleep and fitness data to give you custom tools, insights and analysis.
Enabling access to your Apple Health Kit is optional. But, it allows us to give you the best insights possible.
With some of the tools we have in development, this is something you’ll want to accept!
We don't offer team memberships or coach accounts. It's our mission to empower individual athletes to take ownership of their data and development.
Though there are great coaches out there, we keep all accounts "individual" so that everything is owned by the athlete. We're currently working to make this model more symbiotic.
With all of that being said, we do offer team and facility discounts.
4APP loves coaches that empower their players. As such, 4APP offers discounts to teams, facilities, and programs where 5 or more players sign up for premium subscriptions.
If you’re interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, send us an email at tech@4appsports.com.
See the other FAQ in this section to learn about how we work with coaches.
If you’re interested in bringing 4APP to your players, send us an email at tech@4appsports.com.
In addition to the data you can collect in The App via the Command Tracker and Daily Health Tracker, The App allows you to integrate your Apple Health Kit. This allows us to give you customized reports, insights, and tools.
We have some amazing tools in development that will leverage this data… stay tuned!
Right now, no. However, the integration of pitching data should become a focus for us later this year!
Right now, no. The App only integrates Apple Health Kit and Apple Watch data. However, the integration of Oura and Whoop data should become a focus for us later this year. Keep the faith, non-Apple Watch users!
Right now, users cannot export data outside of The App. With that being said, a feature that will allow you to export your data as a PDF should become a focus for us later this year.
Right now, users cannot export data outside of The App. With that being said, a feature that will allow you to export your data as a CSV should become a focus for us later this year.
Our scouting materials and heatmaps are only available in 4APP Pro– which is our service for professional athletes that work with us.
With that being said, bringing these tools to players at all levels is on our radar!
Effectively empowering athletes to take control of their careers.
