PitchCom provides advanced, secure on-field wireless communication systems designed to eliminate sign stealing and improve the pace of play in professional baseball.
PitchCom is a revolutionary wireless communication system utilized heavily in Major League Baseball (MLB) and other leagues to securely transmit pitch types and locations. Invented by John Hankins and Craig Filcetti, the system aims to deter sign-stealing and quicken the pace of play by allowing catchers to request pitches without visible signs.
The technology features components like the PitchRemote transmitter and PitchCap or PitchClock receivers, which use encrypted signals to deliver specialized audio and haptic feedback directly to the pitcher and fielders. Designed for ease of use, security, and low maintenance, PitchCom systems operate seamlessly across varying field operations and high-noise environments.

You can switch transmission modes by holding down the cancel and number 8 buttons simultaneously, then pressing the corresponding mode button (e.g., button 1 for Pitch and Location Mode, button 2 for Pitch Only Mode). The white LED will blink to confirm the mode change.
If the catcher hits the 'cancel' button on the transmitter after an input, the connected receivers will announce 'cancel.' The system resets, and the catcher can safely enter a new pitch and location.
No, the PitchRemote transmitter does not have an on/off switch. It is always ready to transmit signals whenever the pitch and location buttons are actively pressed.
