Lightning is a recruiting app built for baseball: log hitting and pitching live, show verified stats with spray charts and a strike-zone heat map, host your film, and get matched to college programs — for $25–$50 a year.
See LightningBaseball recruiting runs on numbers coaches trust and film they can find. A baseball recruiting app should let you log hitting and pitching live, show those stats with a verified badge, and put your film one click away — then help you reach the right programs. Here is what to look for and how Lightning does it.
Exit velocity, 60-yard time, and pitching velocity drive the first look; then hitting and pitching production over a season. Lightning tracks hitting and pitching live during games and shows them on your profile — with a spray chart and a strike-zone heat map built from the pitch-by-pitch data.
A self-reported 90-mph fastball is a claim. When your coach or an FSA tournament pushes the stat with a verified badge, it becomes evidence — and that is what earns the follow-up. Lightning is built around coach- and tournament-verified stats.
Host your highlight and at-bat film on the same public page as your stats. The Pro tier ($50/yr) adds an AI College Matchmaker that builds a D1-to-JUCO target list with coach contact info, plus outreach drafting and open-tracking.
$25/yr (Lightning) or $50/yr (Pro). No free tier, but Pro has a 30-day free trial. And because one profile covers 16 sports, a two-sport baseball athlete does not pay extra.
