USA Softball and PitchCom® Partner to Bring Major League Communication Technology to Amateur Softball Nationwide

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (June 2, 2025) - USA Softball, the National Governing Body of Softball in the United States, is proud to announce an exclusive partnership with PitchCom®, the industry leader in secure, real-time on-field communication technology. This groundbreaking collaboration marks a major step forward in the evolution of amateur softball, making professional-grade signal-calling systems accessible to teams across the country.

Originally developed for Major League Baseball, PitchCom®’s cutting-edge communication technology is now available for all levels of USA Softball competition — from elite national athletes to grassroots and youth programs. For the first time, USA Softball-sanctioned events will allow the use of this high-performance system, already trusted at the Women’s College World Series and by top NCAA Division I programs, for both offensive and defensive communication.

“We are excited for the partnership between PitchCom and USA Softball as we continue to grow the game through technology that supports our athletes and coaches from a grassroots level all the way to elite softball,” said Craig Cress, Chief Executive Officer of USA Softball. “With PitchCom beginning its journey in MLB, we are eager for all of USA Softball to have the opportunity to train, develop, and succeed at the highest level.”

PitchCom®’s patented system enables secure, instantaneous communication between pitchers, catchers, fielders, and coaches - enhancing player development, improving game tempo, and streamlining game management. Already in use by MLB teams and top collegiate softball programs such as Oklahoma, Florida, Tennessee, Oregon, and Texas Tech, PitchCom® is the gold standard in on-field communication.

“Youth and amateur players - as well as our country’s National and Olympic teams - deserve access to the same high-performance tools as the pros,” said John Hankins, CEO of PitchCom®. “We’re thrilled to partner with USA Softball and help the next generation experience the future of the sport - today.”

PitchCom® systems will be featured and available at major USA Softball events throughout the 2025 season. Teams interested in learning more or adopting PitchCom® technology can visit pitchcom.com/pages/usa-softball.
