CoachAI

An AI-powered baseball coaching assistant built on Driveline methodology and 200+ athlete coaching experience. Pitching instruction, biomechanics analysis, and pitch design -- currently operating as a knowledge base and research tool on the path to a full product.

Where it comes from

Built by a former professional baseball development coach with hands-on experience at Driveline Academy Flex and 802 Baseball Lab. The coaching frameworks aren't pulled from the internet -- they're documented from real athlete work using Rapsodo, Trackman, Blast Motion sensors, and biomechanics labs.

The Statcast integration connects the coaching knowledge base to live MLB data, making it possible to benchmark pitch shapes, compare movement profiles, and research pitch tunneling strategies against the full population of major league pitchers.

Capabilities (v1)

Pitching Instruction

Mechanics analysis, arm path, hip-to-shoulder separation, extension. Driveline-informed cues and drill programming based on the athlete's movement patterns.

Pitch Design

Arsenal building from first principles. Pitch tunneling analysis, grip adjustments, movement profile targets. Backed by Statcast shapes and expected outcomes.

Biomechanics Analysis

Kinematic sequencing, force application, injury risk assessment. Frameworks built from professional coaching experience with Rapsodo and Trackman.

Statcast Integration

Live MLB Statcast data via 24-tool MCP integration. Spin rate benchmarks, movement profiles, pitch usage trends across the league.

Arsenal Documentation

Per-pitch documentation: 4-seam fastball, kick-change, curveball, slider. Velocity targets, shape targets, usage strategy, and in-game attack patterns.

Status

v1 is an internal research and development tool -- a structured knowledge base for pitching coaching and arsenal design. It's operational and actively used for real coaching decisions and personal pitcher development.

v2 planning is underway. If CoachAI becomes a public product or service, this page becomes the landing page with access options. For now, it's a portfolio project showcasing applied AI development in a domain where the builder has genuine subject matter expertise.
