ABCA Partner Rapsodo provides coaches at all levels with direct visual displays and data read-outs to help quantify player performance and provide teachable information in a single bullpen or batting practice with advanced ball flight monitors for both pitching and hitting.
Now, during the current COVID-19 pandemic, Rapsodo is working to grow communities closer together through baseball. From now through June, Rapsodo is donating 10% of all sales to the ABCA's Official Charity, Turn Two For Youth.

The ABCA named Turned Two for Youth its Official Charity in Fall 2016. Since that time, the organization has shipped over 50 tons of baseball equipment and gear to underprivileged kids and communities to help them enjoy the sport. The average cost of baseball gear for a youth player is $475. Turn Two For Youth can outfit a player for just $35.
"COVID-19 is having an unprecedented impact on people, businesses, communities, and events. The sports community is not immune to this disruption with the cancelation of spring sports. We would like to do our part in supporting organizations that have missions we strongly believe in," stated the Rapsodo release. "Turn Two For Youth unites underprivileged youth through sport and provide opportunities for kids who wouldn’t otherwise get them. We all have a part to play in this time of need and this is just a fraction of what Rapsodo commits to do in these unprecedented times. Rapsodo hopes to not only grow the Diamond Sports community, but to also bring the communities closer together."
