PitchTunnels Changelog

• Pitch Guide — watch each pitch fly from the catcher's view and see how far its spin moves it from a no-spin throw, for right- and left-handed pitchers
• Tunnel Breakdown (Pro) — a slow-motion replay from the catcher's view shows a tunnel's two pitches leaving the hand on the same line and splitting late, in place of the movement plot
• Ratings in card colors — pitching attribute bars now measure to 125, The Show's ceiling, and take the card-tier color of their value (Red Diamond for 95 and up); OVR numbers take their card-tier color on My Pitchers, Active Roster, Add Players and the matchup picker
• One shared matchup — the Attack Plan, Pitch Sequencer and tunnel results now share one matchup: pick the pitcher and batter once and every screen follows
• Location fixes — corrected the up-and-away sinker for a lefty pitcher against right-handed hitters, changeup and circle change now targeted down and away in every matchup, location arrows flip correctly for left-handed hitters, and curveball, knuckle-curve, 12-6 curve and forkball targets follow each pitch's break
• Targets can sit beside the zone or straddle its edge, with an oval for each pitch; chase targets stay outside the zone; touching targets merge into one oval with one label; the Location Guide names every pitch that shares a target
• The Pitch Locator, Attack Plan and Tunnel Details now show the pitcher on a mound and the batter in the batter's box
• Clearer recommendations — every pitch recommendation spells out the location in words ("Low & Away", "Middle In") instead of an arrow; the tunnel detail order section is now headed "Pitch Order"
• Privacy — ads now wait for your consent answer before they load; where Google asks for ad consent, change your choice anytime in Help & Settings → Legal → Privacy Options
• The location fixes came from one player who kept writing in — thank you. Spot something wrong? Email bugs@retroghostlabs.com

Read the v1.4 release notes

• Cutter locations corrected — a cutter breaks glove side, so it now works away from a same-handed hitter and in on an opposite-handed one
• Pitch Locator agrees with the rest of the app — its target zones now match the Tunnels tab, Attack Plan and Pitch Sequencer on every pitch, in every matchup
• Removed conflicting target zones that could show a pitch on both sides of the plate at once
• Targets now sit on the edge of the zone, and chase pitches — the high fastball and the changeup — draw outside it
• Meta update — Circle Change moved up to S-tier, alongside the Sinker, Cutter, Sweeper and 4-Seam
• Pitch Sequencer (Pro) — no longer hides the rest of your arsenal; it now shows how many more pitches are ranked below the top three
• Thanks to the player who wrote in — spot something wrong? Email bugs@retroghostlabs.com
