New toy for your travel ball teams

Be like a college team... send your signals via a wristband!
LINK
Now 9 year old Braxxxxton doesn't need to get confused between the signal for high and inside and the signal for the other high and inside.
That's cheap compared to the joy Braeighden's parents will get when his team wins their two team bracket next weekend!

Game Day Signals uses encrypted low-band radio waves with a range of 500-550 feet, Malay said, and the battery life is five to six hours before recharging is required.
To call a pitch, the coach typically presses two numbers into his keypad. For example, “1-1” could mean fastball, low and away. When the sign is sent, the pitcher's wristband vibrates. If the pitcher doesn't like the pitch, he can shake it off as he would with the catcher and the coach sends in a new sign.
Use of the technology has expanded beyond dugout to mound. Vanderbilt, for example, has all nine players in the field wear the wristband. The coaches' keypad can deliver up to six digits, so combinations of numbers could be used to call pickoff plays or make defensive adjustments.
Teams also could use the technology on offense to signal steals or hit-and-runs.

So they will have a cool wristband to go with their ginormous championship rings they win every weekend? Lol

Braiylynnn's coach is already working with L3 to create a system to intercept those signals.

Yeah, until Braxton goes to high school and doesn’t know how to get a sign from a coach.

Don’t worry OT. Impending economic collapse takes a lot of this trailer-park-riiiiiiiich behavior off the table.

If their high school baseball squad can’t even spring for the newest tech, do you really even want them on it?

Braxton's parents will go before the school board and demand the school system buys it.
"My tax dollars give you plenty enough money to buy this!"

so the team meeting before the first game to go over the signals our HS coach would give by leaning on the fence different ways after he got tossed from the game is no longer needed... what a world.

What is the numeric code for, "Go ahead and balk the runners over so that first base is open for you to bounce your changeup into the batter's shin."
That's the wristband I need.

Screw all of you haters. 12 years ago, my daughter’s (no pics) softball team (9-12) had a fungoman. We hauled it around to tournaments and even used it to warm up before games. People looked at us like we were crazy...we didn’t care, money well spent...LOL. The secret is to always have a successful attorney as one of the coaches.

We used the poor man version of that when I was a kid. Took the two wheel jugs machine and just pulled the ball entry back so it would shoot up in the air.

The OTs obsession with shitting on travel ball is strange
And the one liners about the names are played out as well. Y’all need some new schticks

Wristband signals in baseball is so gay

I remember our coach in high school had elaborate signs for me to call what pitch he wanted the pitcher to throw. shite got confusing as hell considering it was a god damn miracle if a couple could get it across to plate in the strike zone. He would call for a curveball low and outside and I would think well shite I’ll be chasing this one down the first base line when he spikes it in the dirt.

That was my high school experience. We would have calls, but when you got to cutting the strike zone into 9 segments and trying to hit them, it was all a waste. Nobody on our crappy team was good enough for that. I've been taking my son who just got very interested in baseball to some high school games now that we live in Texas. The teams here are on a different level. When you see a pitcher that is committed to a D1 school as a junior and is likely to be drafted, then the signs make sense. As far as the electronics, I thought that was against the rules....Maybe that's just for the MLB?
