The American Baseball Coaches Association and Pocket Radar have partnered to provide five ABCA member coaches free access to Pocket Radar's Smart Coach Radar and Smart Display technology!
The scholarship is open to all ABCA members. ABCA member coaches can apply for the scholarship between Monday, November 1 and Wednesday, December 15 using the form below. One recipient will be selected from the applicants each Wednesday beginning November 10 and running through December 8. Coaches only need to fill out the form once to be entered into all of the weekly drawings. Weekly recipients will be announced in the ABCA Press Box e-newsletter.
Each of the five recipients will receive a bundle package of the Pocket Radar Smart Coach Radar and Smart Display Accessory. The bundle can be paired via USB for a full three-digit display visible up to 100 feet in bright sunlight with a wide-viewing angle. The Smart Coach Radar allows coaches to accurately measure both exit velocities and pitch speeds with the option to pair with the Pocket Radar app to have the speeds announced via speaker. The bundle is lightweight and ultra-portable for indoor or on-the-field use.
Pocket Radar's technology is currently being utilized for player development and scouting at the highest levels of the game including both teams in the 2021 World Series, as well as National Championship winning programs around the country. Their Smart Coach Radar provides free access to their ever-evolving software companion app and when paired with the Smart Display provides immediate feedback to players while training in bullpens or inside the cages. Because of its accuracy and potability, this package is a game-changer when working on developing players in practice and its portability allows you to move around from station to station with ease.
