Does MAVTRAX speed up the game?

Coaches consistently report it does. Because the call reaches the catcher in under a second, there are no mound visits to reset signs, no wristband decoding, and no glances to the dugout between pitches. Pitchers work faster and innings move, helping you keep control of the tempo.

How much does MAVTRAX cost?

$4.99 per month or $49.99 per year (two months free), with a 14-day free trial. Cancel anytime.

MAVTRAX — Baseball & Softball Pitch Calling App | Tap a Pitch, Your Catcher Hears It

Q: What is MAVTRAX?

MAVTRAX is a pitch-calling app for baseball and softball. The coach taps the pitch and location on a phone in the dugout, and the catcher hears the call instantly through a Bluetooth headset in the helmet. No hand signs, no wristband cards, no stolen signals.

Q: How does the catcher hear the call?

The coach's phone pairs to any Bluetooth headset worn under the catcher's helmet. When the coach taps a pitch, the catcher hears a clear spoken call like "Curveball, low and away" in well under a second.

Q: Does MAVTRAX work for softball?

Yes. MAVTRAX includes fastpitch softball pitches — rise ball, drop ball, screwball, and drop curve — alongside the full baseball arsenal, with male and female voices and adjustable speed.

Q: Is there a delay?

No meaningful delay. Calls are pre-rendered and play instantly, and the app works fully offline once loaded, so a weak signal at the field never slows you down.

Q: What equipment do I need?

Just a phone for the coach and any Bluetooth headset for the catcher. That's it — no base stations, no second device, no special hardware.

Q: Do I need to download an app?

No download needed. MAVTRAX runs right in your phone's web browser today, so you can start your free trial in seconds on iPhone or Android. Dedicated App Store and Google Play apps are coming soon; the web app already works on every phone in the meantime.

Q: Is electronic pitch calling allowed in my league?

Rules vary by league, level, and season, and many high school and travel organizations now permit one-way coach-to-catcher devices. MAVTRAX is strictly one-way, coach to catcher. Always confirm with your governing body before game use.

Q: What ages and levels is MAVTRAX for?

MAVTRAX is best for 9U and up — once pitchers are throwing and the coach is calling pitches. It works for 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, and 14U travel and select baseball, plus middle school, JV and varsity high school, and college. Fastpitch softball too: 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, and 18U. If your catcher wears a helmet and your coach calls pitches, MAVTRAX fits.

Ages & divisions

Best for 9U and up — every division, baseball & softball.

As soon as your pitchers are throwing and your coach is calling pitches — roughly 9U and up — MAVTRAX fits. It's built for 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, and 14U travel and select baseball, plus middle school, JV and varsity high school, and college. Fastpitch softball too: 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, and 18U. Same pro edge the big programs pay thousands for — priced so every team can afford it.

What MAVTRAX is

Silent, electronic pitch calling — for the 99% of teams that aren’t in the big leagues.

The pros got wireless pitch calling and never looked back. MAVTRAX brings that same edge to youth, travel, high school, and college baseball and softball — using the phone already in your pocket and any Bluetooth headset under the helmet. Call the pitch and spot, and your catcher just hears it. Clean. Instant. Impossible to steal.

How it works

Three taps from the dugout to the catcher’s ear.

No base station. No second phone. No wristband decoder. Pair once and call your game.

1

Pick the pitch

Tap the pitch from your pitcher’s arsenal — fastball, curve, change, or any custom call you’ve set up.

2

Paint the spot

Tap the location on the strike zone. MAVTRAX speaks the full call — “Curveball, low and away” — in a clear voice.

3

The catcher hears it

The call plays instantly in the Bluetooth headset under the helmet. Pitcher sets up, no signs, no delay.

The benefit coaches didn’t expect

It speeds the whole game up.

No mound visits to reset signs. No runner decoding a wristband. No catcher peeking to the dugout between every pitch. The call lands in the catcher’s ear the instant you tap it — so the pitcher gets the ball back and goes, innings move, and the tempo stays yours. It’s the thing coaches keep telling us after their first game: the game just moves faster with MAVTRAX.

Why MAVTRAX

Pro-style pitch calling, for every team.

The pros call every pitch through an electronic device in the catcher’s helmet — no stolen signs, no crossed signals, no dead tempo. That technology was locked behind big-league budgets. MAVTRAX brings it to youth, travel, and high-school ball.

The same things go wrong every weekend: signs get crossed, a runner on second relays location, a 10-year-old squints at a wristband while the tempo dies, a pitch gets tipped because a hand signal got lazy. There had to be a better way — so we built it.

“If a coach can call the pitch out loud in practice, the catcher should be able to hear it in a game — without the whole infield hearing it too.”

The coach taps the pitch and the spot; the catcher hears the call in a cheap Bluetooth headset; nobody else knows what’s coming. It works for baseball and softball, for 10U travel and varsity, on the budget of a couple buckets of balls. That’s MAVTRAX.
